if well known Mamparas like dud Mozzie don't.
Rassie thinks outside the Box and hence mamparas find it very difficult to keep up with him. His management of the team and coaches is not mentioned much but is a vital component of the unprecedented Bok success.

As is the fact that only 4 ABs would crack to the Bok team

"As is the fact that only 4 ABs would crack to the Bok team"
Nope Egg Chaser is closer to the truth. On paper the Boks might have a slight edge, However we do not know how match ready the injured players are.
This should be a close fought series. The wee abs looked good against Ireland but again are Ireland as good as they were. Time will tell.
I am tipping the Boks to win a hard fought series. There is a huge will to win in this Bok side and they will be up for these tests.

@Xavi No issues with teeth or gums and no drooling or spitting.

Cumon, let's put our prediction hats on.

As stated on another thread, I'm picking Jasper as man of the series.

Who is yours?

@Rooinek I honestly think he would be the tide changer. I'd go so far as to say, that if he goes off early in the first test... we win all three plus the cash grab in Baltimore.

@Plum ...😁... someone will stand up to the plate ..more than others, and it might be him...or Jasper, Marx, Cheslin, Eben, Krie, PdV, Sacha, Eben, Willemse... we've got an abundance of talent... difficult to pick one before hand... whoever will probably win WPOTY.

Marx

I can't argue with either of those picks either. The ABs without Ardi are a far worse team and Marx, in my opinion at least, is the best hooker ever to play for the Boks.
