Prediction: Boks vs Lions (Test 2)

There is simply no way the Boks will fail to front-up physically. Already Josè is turning to emotion to spur the Boks on to level the series. There is going to be no change in approach, rather, a doubling down on their efforts to impose themselves. With an emotional rush comes a Bok side that suffocate the opposition. We know the Lions have significantly more firepower, but if the Boks can smother them with strong defence and dominate the set pieces as well as territory, the game is played on their terms. A couple of opportunistic tries and the momentum shift becomes overwhelming. The Boks will take it by two scores. 

Tend to agree. Every emotional button that can be pushed has been pushed. Even the refs will now be bending over backwards to avoid controversy. And it’s very hard to win these series in straight sets. The Boks should take this one.

Fancy me, pushing emotional buttons is wrong?

Are the oaks now saying the refs will be more careful not to shaft the Boks after Rassue's superb clip. If so well done Rassie!!!

Seems like the haters think there will be a backlash despite Rassie being so useless. Should the Boks win they would be shown up badly and these posts are merely a mitigation effort following all the BS they posted. 

On Beenno's Trumpet there is a post there about what John Smit said. Hope you oaks saw it and learnt the error of your ways. 

Beeno lending struggling oaks a helping hand as always. 

Boks by 5.

Final score 25 - 20

I'm gonna be brave and say Boks by 12...26 -14.

2 tries by the wings...one forward try.

jip and the lions 5 + 9 and not 7+7...wishful thinking....

Predictions are always a bit of a lottery,,,don't think we can accurately judge the Lions too well from last week...I've got a nagging feeling they too are a lot better. Any margin for a win will do...I'm old enough to remember 1974.

Good call Auge.

lekker !!!!

Hos ja.
