The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

I'm really hoping for an 8 - 0 bench if we lead the series 2 - 0. Just want the world to moan again.

Yup. But nothing to be gained by showing his hand early, especially with 9 and 10. Let the AB's have to prepare for all possibilities.

Rassie said at today's presser that they're holding their cards close to their hearts hence no early team announcement.

I think they are sweating over the fitness of Siya, ox and perhaps Andre.

We already know Siya is out.

In the press conference he said both OX and Siya don't have injuries but have niggles (whatever that means). They may or may not play, feels like Rassie is playing mind games which make NZ plan for the "what if".

I don't think either will play but if they send in someone at 80% it has to be OX because he will demolish their scrum.

Agreed Willie is done and Fassi is playing the worst rugby of his life. We have a big gap between Willemse and everyone else.

Fassi is no star but not terrible. Willie can give the opposition a win all on his own. We will win Saturday and then have the other players for game 2
 
Riko will be the game breaker. He is playing on a level i haven't seen before

He has tough competition if Will Jordan and Mackenzie are back or if they choose Bauden, he will prob be on the bench.

Plus he has been playing with go forward ball and all the space in the world. He will be behind a scrum going backwards. We know the others can handle PSDT in their face.

If I was coach he would do 30mins this test and if he performs prob start the next test. He has looked really impressive though.

For me the only person the can't lose is Geordie when he is playing everything flows. Looks like a different team.

Geordie has been incredible this past year or so. Turns out he was the best of the 3 all along. Will Jordan record test try scorer for nz

Ok maybe we should be worried. Their backline is at least as good as the Boks.

Our forwards are wayyyyyyy stronger man for man
