 the Boks are simply going to go through the motions in this most epic encounter  needs to think again....anyone thinking the Boks are lambs to the slaughter is in for a shock. This isn't a David versus Goliath battle, this is about Goliath versus Goliath. Indeed, this is about two proud rugby nations battling for the most prized title in rugby. I can tell you that the Boks are not here to make up the numbers. Spare me the baloney about how great the AB's are...blah blah blah what they did to the Frogs and every other pretentious rugby nation..I've heard it all before. Now if HM follows Jw's script then the Boks will play to their strengths and play mistake free clinical rugby...and importantly do so for 80 miniseries...they will need to deny them good ball by disrupting their game.defence more than attack is what's going to bring home the bacon.Forget about the nonsense of throwing the ball around..that's for a different day in a different arena. Forget also that our fate relies on rain...anyone who's been to NZ knows that I'n the land of the long white cloud there is only one season and it's called ..winter.Our fate today hangs on whether  HM has read the script and whether the Boks are matured enough to follow that script.

I agree about the strategy Boks will follow Denny but they may throw in a few plays with wee Willie at first receiver just to change it up.

 Naah, that's exactly what the Boks don't  need...it will be playing into the AB hands and as you know we can"t beat them in that department. Willie thus  far has been a failure but o pray he returns to form. I'm expecting our forwards to play out of their skins...huge games from our big fellows...be afraid if they do.

Then bludgeoning is the only hope Boks have, no plan B? 
It will all get down to maintaining intensity & execution. Will be the same for both sides but ABs can adjust, sounds like the Bok fans don't thing they can. ABs by 7.

One thing I know....ABs don't like being starved of the ball and as you know without the ball no team can score tries. Question remains...how good is the Bok kicking game going to be today?

 Abs have a better tactical kicking game. Contary to popular belief Abs can also play pragmatically, and the tight game. For me its abs 13+, you guys lost to Japan! .

 if the boks attack with speed and width expect the all blacks to be exposed....i dont believe in the smash and bash style of rugby as its impossible to keep up for 80 mins

Crash and bash is good to set the foundation....we need to attack space with the possession we get...we don't want to be kicking it away.

 agreed saffex you need to expose the space and use it...slow ball use the forwards and use the quick ball at the back....bring pollard more into the game and allow him to dictate the game.
