....the fortress if records are to be believed. Altitude, travel and history would suggest even this diminished team should be able to beat an Aussie team that looked like rabble until we threw them a lifeline. But losing begets losing and a puff of air could blow away these demoralized, leaderless Boks.
Still let's hope for the best, there isn't a whole lot of dignity in debating selections and strategies for a team that could be outside the top 5 if things don't change.
Go Bokke.....please?

I see that golfing great Arnold Palmer has passed away at 87 the devils number for Aussie batsmen.Pretty good innings though .

Nah ... !!! I'm in favour of another thumping ... but this time on home soil.
I'm hoping the Wallabies picked up a little confidence with their last two wins ... and I'm hoping they bring it to Loftus and upset the apple cart.
That would be good for SA rugby.
I am also hoping to see an empty stadium.
Oh and Moffie ... your hypocrisy has been noted.
As for Arnold ... sad to hear of his passing. A good innings indeed. Certainly hope I never see my eighties.

Wehe . . . Moffie pretending to support the Bokke this week . . . because he made such a big deal of this non-event being the most important test match in Springbok history!
Bit different to 2 weeks ago when the self-important old blowhard was on his knees praying for the All Blacks to score so that Rooinek's hunch was wrong!
LMAO!
What a fake!

Unlike you RooiAAS, Carbuncle and Dave I have never wished for the Boks to lose. Why would I, to win an argument with a grunt? Don't be silly man, you are just an amusement.
WD I have met and played golf with Gary and Jack. Never met Arnold, although by the accounts of some of his friends he was a warm individual. And he had a great life....doors were open to him in almost every country. The King in the game men play for life.

Mozart - the Boks can win with the right team from that squad - bearing in mind certain changes in selections. Put Juan de Jongh at center is a definite no-no. Jantjies is poor under Coetzee's delusional game plan - so he should be replaced - but definitely not by useless Morne. I would also bear in mind that we should never ever play Alberts in any capacity. Last game he never got near enough to even attempt a tackle and Mohoje and Louw was not much better. So avoid at all costs De Jongh, Jantjies, Morne and Mohoje and move Louw to number 7 - where is pace deficiency would be less notable. The above could get the Springboks to win. Retention of the duds would be deadly.

Coetzee has sent De Allende to play for WP - so tata to any chance of the backline doing anything. The man is a fool - a really huge one. De Jongh is a bad joke at center and the fool does not realise it.
