Early days for the lad. With a good coach looking out for him, he will get his defence right. The team will miss that attacking ability from deep in their own half. Hopefully Habana will deliver there.Originally Posted by Devill
They are the toughest of our pool opponents, but like you say, first game, the Boks should be pumped to take the win.
I'd be a little more concerned about Samoa. Late in the tournament we may need the win to ensure a good draw for the play-offs. I do think we will take the Wales game, although I reckon it will be a hard fought affair.I'm a little afraid of Wales, TBH. They are a good side, yes, but I'm more concerned with our own problems going into the tournament. Enough problems for Wales to potentially capitalize on? Not an impossibility. Samoa and Fiji are going to be bruisers. And Samoa must be thinking to themselves that they've got a very good chance.
Namibia are going to be a feature of the group.
And Namibia for at least one upset would be fantastic!
It will depend on where we sit in the pool. It may well require the best side, as Samoa could upset us there. They'll get a huge amount of support from the locals in NZ.
Plenty of quality there. Just reward and recognition for them too.
So does Div allow them to play local games to retain their form?
