Great to see Carter get a start at 11. Is super quick with a devastating last second sidestep as well. Should be a great match up with Kolbe!

I’d say the side looks marginally stronger….the concern has to be Newell vs Wilco Louw near the end. Hopefully less box kicking by both sides.

Our scrum is always a concern vs the Boks Moz!

Gain parity there and half the job’s done for the ABs. We don’t want a scrum repeat from the first encounter!

Good luck Allblacks...Go Bokke!!!

It will be Newell vs Wessels

Looks like rain tomorrow in Wellington and then a partly cloudy and windy day for Saturday. Let's hope the rain stays away on match day. I want to see a proper contest not influenced by wet balls and slippety slidy conditions.

Right…my mistake. Two weak props possibly deciding the match.

Nothing weak about Wessels
