Can just picture clueless Meyer sitting there shitting himself having to tell the world he has selected his beloved Vic ahead of Lood, telling us Lood will be great as an impact player.....can see it coming

 Dave/CM, have no fear guys Meyer is going to select Greybeard at #10.
With all his skill picked up over the years in the back- line he plays in he is a shoe in at #10.

Doesn't look like a very strong team at all. I can only hope they're good enough to beat the Welsh cos we'd love to play our easybeats in the semi!

 Ha funny Saffex, one the average age of NZ is 26. 2. That geriatric beat your average side in your backyard, because Boks have no intelligence what so ever, and were outcoached, which exactly well prob happen againgst Wales.

3ku1 you will that the average age of your starting Kiwi side is 29, so try again.


That Bok side is not looking that average anymore.....


Willie is better than Smith

I'll give you Savea over Habana

Kriel is better than old man Conrad Smith

de Allende is better than Nonu

I'll give you Skud over JP

Pollard and Carter on par

I'll give you Smith over du Preez by some distance

Beast is better than Woodcock

Bismark is better than Coles

Malherbe is better than Franks

Etzebeth is better than Retallick

Lood is better than Whitelock

Richie is better than Louw

Schalk and whoever you play at 6 will be par

Read and Vermeulen are par, with Read maybe holding the edge on current form


The Bok side is better than your side and I mean that

 Brycy, the surprise is Joe Moody's selection! Supposed to be strong but Ben Franks has more experience & can play both prop positions. TKB over TJ, fair enough & recognition of his form & recovery from that horrendous injury.
