There is an odd silence surrounding this AB test. Player and coach comments are muted. Both sets of fans seem apprehensive. The magnitude of the Bok win against Oz has driven the nay sayers into defensive mode. It's all very quiet. But it's on everybody's mind I bet. - Oh hell, it has to be asked....anybody want Jantjies at flyhalf?

Mozart: you are right it is strange.

But all the pressure is on the resurgent Boks, even the NZ TAB is rumoured to favor the Boks. If All Blacks just show up they have met expectations. Boks have to win by 40 + points to meet expectations now, lol

ABs by 7 is my prediction if weather is fine. If it rains, Boks by 6, lol

J_W, I don't know where you're posting from that it's so quiet but where I work and live, Saturday's test is all people are talking about.

 

Bokke . . . by a single point!

i hope the boks are pumped for this test because new zealand are going to come out of the starting blocks like demons. its a psuychological batttle that the boks must win. when tyhhe boks get serious mentally they are a good 30% tougher even more physical. they need to blow new zealand away with brute power then unleash the backs.

saffex, jantjies got his shot against the barbarians and was blown away and got humiliated by new zealand. lets face it this kid was shit for all of the super xv so whats the big deal about the kid? could he scoer 31 points against new zealand? i dont think so ever. goosen, jantjies and lambie cant defend good enough at 10. its supposed to be mornes weakness but he handled the samoans and argies well enough. he doesnt do that bad at all. just give the guy some credit.

Ihi my guess is after last week a poll of fans would produce no changes in the Bok team....nada, not even on the bench. I can't remember when that was ever a possibility.

Naughty, naughty Mozart!!!

 

You'll upset Stupid and drive him back to meths..

 

With these boys currently on tour, I would replace Pienaar with Vermaak, JJ with Serfontein, and Kirchner. with Lambie.

 

Last week's demolition job on the Wallabies ... with this team ... showed one just how much trouble the Ozzies are in.

 

The Boks were amazing ... but they were allowed to be by a second rate Wallabies side.

 

I was hoping we could measure ourselves against the All Blacks this weekend but now with all the changes they've made  ... we may end up thumping them as well.

 

Either way ... if we beat the best with our 2nd stringers then who am I to complain.

 not strange at all

If the Boks win - everyone will praise them, Bok take Number 1 Spot, and Beeno will say he knew it all along

If the ABs win - Saffex will have everyone (especially you Sharkbok) for breakfast!
