They had me confused for a while yesterday too. Also, I'm assuming Riko = Rieko?

I think our 1ste team chooses itself. Wilco Louw or Thomas du Toit and Cobus Reinach or Grant Williams might be tougher to predict.

Before this test series is done we may see Sacha at 15 and Willemse at 12.. just putting it out there...

Or Sacha at 9 …..

Sacha

Please don't let him kick
Please don't let him kick
Please don't let him kick

Riko will be the game breaker. He is playing on a level i haven't seen before

My money is on Josh Moorby... expecting him to have an exceptional break through season... quality baller...

For those who don't have dstv or another method to watch the Bok/AB test on Saturday, sabc3 will broadcast the delayed match at 19H00. Not the best but better that nothing.

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

Funny how both Jordie and Rieko returned much more envigorated and complete players having spent a season at Leinster.

Greatest Rivalry trophy revealed as series permutation is confirmed

TROPHY REVEAL: The tour like no other now has a trophy like no other.

rugby365.com

Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, presented by Castle Double Malt, on Wednesday unveiled a world first with a trophy created in two halves – yet drawn together by magnetism – to capture the unique bond between the Springboks and All Blacks.

The concept was developed exclusively for the revival of rugby tours between the nations, to capture a simple truth: that as distinct and proud as are the two rugby cultures, each is inexorably drawn to the other as two halves of the greatest rivalry.

The winners of the four-test Tour will receive both halves following the final Test in Baltimore, USA, on September 12 2026.

Should the series be drawn, each nation will retain one half of the trophy.
