The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

Whew, they left it a bit late confirming UK broadcaster for the Rivalry tour. Every game covered on Sky Sports, I can get comfy now
 
Boks better be well alert at Ellis Park. All Blacks will want to make ammends for Wellington.

Let's clear the Argentina hurdle first. They are no small fry.

To be honest I think Argentina will pose more a threat to us than the AB's.

Hear me out, the AB's did well in the Autumn Nations Championship ( At home ) emphasis on "at home"

They did well yes and played good rugby but now everyone is raving how great they are just because they beat an Oupa Ireland Team, people forget Ireland are past their prime now.

True test will be at Ellis, If all the pundits say they are better or give us a challenge let's see this challenge.
 
This Argentina game is a possible banana peel for us. A few guys playing their first game of the year, coming back from injury. Rassie chose a good team but we might have rustiness to shake off. How quickly we can adapt and get up to speed will be key.

Not a bad team that the Stormers put out. Good be a decent game. I haven't watched any Superugby in a long time so many of those All Black players are unknown to me.

Going by Super rugby performance, thats a very good All Black team they selected mixed with a mostly experienced backline.

Going to be tough for the Stormers.
 
NZ by 25-30... Meanwhile looks like it may be a wet and cold evening in CT on Friday? That might not suit NZ's up tempo, expansive game plan, not that I'm giving the Stormers much chance either way...

It's a BIIIIIIIIG NZ pack and a very experienced and rapid backline...

Decent Stormers 23 too, possibly the strongest available given the Bok commitments. I would have liked a pair of gun locks in the form of Ruben and JD. Adre and Connor are a bit of a soft touch in comparison...
 
Watching this whole Sharks fiasco... They don't need a new chapter, name and logo they just need to win a few games. They aren't doing that for a few reasons maybe off field and a name and logo change won't fix that... Sigh

ABs is going to destroy them. Hope I am wrong though.

Destroy is a very strong word, those Stormers boys are some serious quality.

Year in year out they are one of best sides in the URC, there are world cup winners in that squad, plus a few others that have a massive point to prove ( Roos and Dayimani)

Don’t write that team off my bru, Dobbo is a very clever coach. They going to be softened up nicely for Ellis.

I know the Stormers very well. I stand by 'destroy' and once again i say I hope I am wrong.

Chat after the game, then you can tell me 'ha in your face', or I can say told you so. Deal?

I’m a bulls man lol

But as for the club teams vs the AB, Stomers and Lions should be full strength teams facing them.

As long the Sharks lose I’m happy mmmkay.
