Your Prediction for the 4 big Bok games this year

I do - ut fantasy is not meant to be ridiculous.

Aldritt is a great player, really makes a difference to any team he plays for. Ridiculous to have cast him out.

As per usual, if the Frogs can get parity in the scrums then they’re in with a shout but it’s a big “IF”!

The Paddies are poor and will stand no chance vs the Boks. If the ABs can push their scrum around then they’re Boks are going to demolish them!!

Moolaa

I did not rate he Irsh team anmymmore - themy were a very good team ,until retirements took their toll on them. Te team was made up of Leinster players - now Leinster is also gone, The Stormers without their key players beat them 35-0 and that was followed by losses against the Bulls and Munster, That showed me the Irish team's bubble is bursting. I am also convinced that of the four Irish teams in the URC only Munster is a strongish team.

As to the French team there are problems too, I rated Aldritt as their best loosie - in the backline they have top players on the wings and fullback and scrumhalf - but for the rest their backlne is rather average. Without Du Pont too they are going to struggle against the Springbok backline and they are going to have roubles with trying to defy a very strong forward combination.of the Springboks - even with Nche not available,

With Sacha Feinberg-Ngoezulu in top form they are going to have more serious problems than before. If the Springbok players are playing to true form my prediction of a 13 point differnce might be too conservative,

"As per usual, if the Frogs can get parity in the scrums then they’re in with a shout but it’s a big “IF”!"

I'd love for the Boks to win, but I know the French are gonna ignore our midfield and focus on Sasja. The loss of Ox should not be underestimated because it seriously undermines the Bok scrum. Sacha will need to do it on his own because he will have no help from his 12...much like he had no help from him against the ABs, Bargies or Japan. If France win this it'll be because the Boks lost the game at the breakdown and because the Bok backline failed as it always does when the Damien the Donkey is there.

If there were two games that Rassie could pick to win this year it would be Eden Park and Paris. He got Eden Park totally wrong. Let's see what happens in Paris because the only lesson he took from Wellington was something that we all knew already, Sacha is better than Pollard.

"The Paddies are poor and will stand no chance vs the Boks. If the ABs can push their scrum around then they’re Boks are going to demolish them!!"

This is the same Irish side that came to SA and drew the series last year. They had some poor calls go against them against the ABs last week and they were in the game until the last 10 minutes. Who knows what would have happened had Farrell not have had to deal with adapting to that red card. I like this Irish team and Farrell is a bloody awesome coach. Rassie has lost 75% of his games against Ireland...only winning 1 in 4. South Africa's talent pool dwarfs Irelands. There is no question who the better coach is. This EOYT Irish game is anything but a forgone conclusion.

Strond is rond and you are are dumb. In the last tests between SA De Allende scored a try which De Allende made for the Boks and after tackled he was very qucick to join the b ackline and scored the try himself. If the French consencentrate on Sacha it will leave gaps which De Allende would use, You are not clear about backline play at all and you are talking shit because of Prejudice and nothing else. Why do you think the French fear De Allende - it is bcause he is a thinking player who can understand.more about rugby in the nail of his little toe than Eerhuizen has in his whole body.

Eramus is wise enough to realise that Esterhuizen is a dumb Bunny but could eb used as a loosie. The Springboks have three players that is strong at breakdowns namely Marx, Wiese and De Allende. The latter is vey good when backline players are tackled and is excellent in ball protection. It has happened many times in the past,

We will see what happens today - but what you expect is not going to happen.

How did I know? My prediction was pretty near - I gave the Springbok to win by 13 points and that makes me in the lead against Plum that would end up 1 correct and 3 wrong.

Bump

Go on, Visser, give us a summary of the winners and losers...

So time to declare a Mampara winner

Strond is rond .... he he he

"If Estehuizen is playing in any est this eyar the Springboks will inevitably lose the match."

How wrong was this prediction, Uncle?:)

Come on Plum, make it Official…give us the Summary.

My summary is as follows:-

1. Super-idiots = Plum - all 4 lost by Springboks
2. Idiots = Mozart and co - 2 wins - 2 losses
3. Thinking members = Dave and Clevermike 1 loss - 3 wins

Ons more day to go. I believe some our frustrations are warranted. Two games we could have won but didn't. The biggest stinger was the Aussie at Ellis park. That game was such a joke and I blame Manie that couldn't control the game and just wanted to play too lose. The kiwi game was 50/50, there for the taking.

But, wow, since our 2nd game against the Kiwis the boks have gone from strength to strength.

Glad to be proven wrong. I had the boks at 2 our of 4 and at the beginning of the season 0 our of 4 given how poorly we started.

Still Wales, don't even know who is left in the squad and which team will play

Hope Pollard gets a game

howzat for a happy chappy?

I think that Pollard is on the way out. Willsee how he performs fopr the Bulls - who have now got Wolhuter to play for hem in the URC and ECC.

Pollard is now becoming like Morne Steyn when it comes to flyhalf play.

Wales….w by 25

Games most at risk

Oz1

AB2

Ireland

France

Likely result 2 losses, 1 to the ABs and 1 in Europe

……..

I was predicting the entire season and I predicted 2 losses. I actually warned about the possible loss to the Aussies in the first game and the AB loss admittedly in the second game, which we won. Prescient!

My predictions:

AB 1= Boks by 1 point

AB 2=Boks by 8 points

Frenchies=Boks by 15 points > Boks 32 - 17 FRA = 15 points win, perfect prediction.

Ireland=Boks by 12 points > Boks 24 - 13 IRE = 11 points win. My prediction of by one point.

Also Predicted 3 wins out of 4 games Uncle, Dave did not predict…
