Dan Kriel sure is being pushed from pillar to post. Not sure if he has the necessary pace to be on the wing.

Can't wait for this match.

Should be an interesting battle 2 contrasting styles. England's 9 Henry Taylor could be the difference SA look so powerful England will have to move their forwards around

Kriel did very well when he came on against the Under 20 All Blacks and they have the speedy Van der Merwe on the bench.  Pity about the defense problems Greeff has.

I checked the Auckland weather forecast for tomorrow and it says few shower - especially in the morning and there seems to be a slight breeze.  More or less the same as it was for the matches on Sunday - so it should be a good game.
It would be interesting to see the NZ game - I have a feeling they would beat the Irish by a wide margin.  That game would be a clearer indication of the potential outcome of the final match.   Hope they beat the Irish well = otherwise it may be a bad draw for next years WC.

I'm a little nervous for our boys. These Poms can match us up front. Big solid boys.

Has the potential to be the match of the season so far.

Haven't see your side yet, Sunny. I take it Burns will run out at 10? Should make for an interesting contest with our boy Pollard!!

I'll be at home tomorrow watching this match on my big screen with the volume turned way up!

Gooooooooooooooo Bokke!!!

Yes I agree. The Baby Blacks should run riot over Ireland.

 My Supervu forecast is SA to win by 6 points.   I was very accurate with my forecasts on Superbru a nd on Sunday had all correct - even the French beating the Welsh.   Hope I am correct again.

They had to get rid of the passive Greef on the wing, man he was useless - all size no metal. Went from hero to zero after the Scottish game.

 

The only change I would have made was starting Wilco Louw at 3 ahead of v/d Westhuizen. v/d Westhuizen is solid, but Louw is far better - politics would have played its part in this selection no doubt. Good to see young du Preez on the bench.

 

Dan Kriel has enough pace to play wing, so he will be ok. Duhan v/d Merwe is a quality back-up on the bench.

 

Am so looking forward to this game, cant say the same for our senior side given the pathetic selections

 

8  of this years Baby Bok squad are eligible for next years side - they are Gelant (15), Thomas du Toit (1), Duhan v/d Merwe (11), JL du Preez (7), Dweba (2), JD Schickerling(4), Nonkontwana (4/7) and Vermeulen (6/7).

 

Add the likes of EW Viljoen (15), Daniel du Plessis (12), RG Snyman(5) and Daniel du Preez (5) and we have the makings of a good side next year.

Sunny, agreed your 9 is a class act, much better than our 9.

 

Your pack is up there physically and in Sloan you have quality at 12 and Earles is class on the wing

 

Its going to be a battle of note

Harry Sloan played in last years England JWC team at 13 alongside Sam Hill who's part of the England A team now.
Our first choice 12 Tom Stephenson has been playing in the Aviva premiership 19 year old centre immense talent he arrived late to the JWC because he was involved in the aviva premiership final so Sloan's been playing 12
