Points differentials favour the Boks

The ABs are strongly positioned to retain the RC, and perhaps they will put things away with a win on Saturday. Maybe not, I favour the Boks to win this. And if they do it's very likely the Boks will retain a big edge in the points differentials. Currently the Boks have  a  97 point positive spread, well ahead of the ABs at 76. 
If the teams have identical win/loss records we go to bonus points. We could just as easily have gone to points differentials, or points differentials between teams that are tied. It's just a rule.
The winner this RC will be by the rules, but there is a lot to be said for a decisive win.

 "The ABs are strongly positioned to retain the RC" hear hear Mozzie - although I suggest you don't mention this to Mike. He will surely fall apart.

 And strongly positioned to get beaten next Saturday.
If the abs win by a bonus point they are honor bound to hand the trophy over to the Boks. I did say honor bound.

 We'll hand it over to you for a minute or two Hasbeeno cos you haven't seen a trophy for a good while......but we want it back soon after cos the plane will be leaving for good ol' NZ!!

 Mmmmmm when did SA win the RC last....gee have to hit the history books. There it is 2009, that was the tri nations. Way back then.

 Before that in 04,  going well Boks. Let's see ya turn it around. Good luck next time.

 That bloody last AB try against the Argies in minute 80 did our cause no favours!

 yes Saffex, but what good is common sense like yours (and mine) against so many?
