Predictions(only for the brave)

Bokke by 8 points

ABs by 1. It’s payback time for RWC Final…..

32-22 All Blacks

Got a feeling too much is gonna go wrong for the Boks in this first game.

The All Blacks have the advantage of a clean slate in their new coach. They won't be too worried about recent results.

The Boks are in a weird situation. Of the two recent games, one of them was clearly more dominant. But those games were away from home and the dominant game was a gamble that paid off.

Rassie might feel that the Eden Park strategy wasn't successful in NZ but that in SA it will be enough, and safer. He'll remember how had Kolbe not made that intercept in Wellington, the ABs could easily have won that game.

I have a feeling that Sacha hasn't been selected for his running game but rather because he has the biggest high ball of our three 10s.

The Boks have kicked the living shit out of everything this year, and I don't think Saturday will be different.

Perhaps I'm just voicing my fears but I think we'll kick all possession away and then fail to properly shut down the lighting fast AB ruck.

Of course I'm hoping for a Bok win!

Aussie bliksemed us up there just two years ago ... I truly dunno, so its either a draw or one team winning by a solitary point or two.
