Rugby 365 predicts the Boks will win by 7.
Dylan Coetzee on Planet Rugby predicts Boks by 15 and that they will claim a bonus point.
What do you think? (please feel free to exclude rants about the coach as that is not likely to change before kick-off)
For the Boks to win the tournament, they need 2 bonus point victories in their next 2 games.
However, if the All Blacks get a bonus point victory next week, the Boks have almost no chance of winning the tournament.
The All Blacks are leading on scores for/against.
So even if the Boks finish on the same points victories, the Boks are still in 2nd place.
The only exception(s) would be if:
1. Australia beat the All Blacks in New Zealand (unlikely)
2. The Springboks concede very few points while scoring a massive amount of points to make up the points difference of for/against.
The Boks need to just focus on playing well in the first half to ensure victory.
They need to take the right options of when to run, and when to crash ball or kick. If all goes well, they need to go for the bonus point in the 2nd half.
If the Boks do well in the first 30 minutes, I expect them to win comfortably.
Pressure is on, as they know they need a 5 points bonus win from this match
Boks 25-20. They’ll win but will struggle to get the 3 tries clear of the Argies that they need for the bonus point.
Gooooo Pumasssssssssss!
I hope the Boks win....but the pumas are a very dangerous animal, look what they did to OZ in Argentina and AB at home......so if the Boks can start of with a bang and manage to Finish off there chances, we might get the Bonus Points.....otherwise we are in it neck deep.
Boks x 9
Boks by 19 points
Going for a draw
