This Scottish side is a damn good one. They have the impressive Pierre Schoeman at 1, who should have been capped by the Boks and in Furgeson at tighthead they have one of the best in the business. I’m surprised they are not playing Watson at openside he was one of the best on the Lions tour - I’m guessing they have looked to beef their pack up by moving last weeks blindside to openside. Furgeson at 8 is very good In the backs they have world class players in Hogg, Russell, Harris, vd Merwe and Price It’s going to be another arm wrestle for the Boks

No it’s going to be a box kick and maul….an arm wrestle is too risky.

Neo-libs are spineless, gutless, lazy, sloppy, uneducated and unteachable, so why would Unter settle for more than a half-arsed pig slop of a result? Remember the calls for greater standards, and the moral losses of Meyer? He gave a pass to 2018 in spite the inferior record in every category to 2017. It's not about results, it's not even about the Boks, it's about a cult personality. They are like child minded folks flocking to a prosperity teacher.

One of only two Bok coaches in history who had someone else doing the coaching. Josè is the very defintion of mediocre.

Typical, people trying to remove the curse by prophesying the worst.

SA rugby is very political and know how to take advantage of the game schedule.

Scotland has major difficulties going into their game: they have a limited number of players to tap in and they delivered a rough, tough game against AU. With an additional game to their tally. Which implies their freshness is diminished.

SA rugby bring nothing but attrition. Most teams on a fresh day would kick theirs asses.

But when freshness is lacking, well, and SA rugby is fresher.

Apart from EN, no one was given the conditions to perform against SA rugby.

SA rugby ride WR calendar to keep pretending, to remain undeservedly at the number one spot.
