The Springboks have a very strong bomb squad, so I think if the All Blacks are going to challenge they need to get a good lead in the first half. It just depends on who shows up, the first half team that beat Argentina in 30 minutes, or the team that lost to Argentina. 

The All Black tight 5 will be tested, especially in the 2nd half when Marx and Eztebeth enter the fray. 

It will be interesting to see if the Boks persist with the running game, or keep it tight with more up and under's. With SashaZulu, it is likely they will go wide.

No matter who shows up, our defence should be better than the absolute poor defence of the Pumas on that day they lost. Stark contrast to there winning performance. I watch that game again, and that is where they fell short…that allowed the AB to flourish.

ABs.... by 12. Oz/Argies... don't care I'm picking the ABs because every time we think we'll beat them, we lose comfortably.

Bokke and Argie...not close, but not comfortable either.

The bomb squad started to dominate towards the end of the game as expected, but was close. All Blacks got off to a good started which was essential. 

I think the Boks can win again next week, but the game will probably follow the same pattern with tons of early pressure from the All Blacks
