sometimes the only difference is one stroke of luck....or just one mistake.

What's your prediction for this game?
Man for man Ireland don't stand a chance (even Sexton would have to agree), but Boks always start poorly on these tours. I'm not happy with the du Plessis brothers. Habana&JdV have been poor. Hougaard is busy but you can't exactly tell if he's getting his task done. Enough weaknesses for the Irish to exploit and pull of a suprise win.

Remeber, I think they've beaten FRA&WAL, were unfortunate to lose to ENG, so the Boks will need to be at their best to beat them. If this was the Boks' 2nd match I'd tip them. But I'd be safer putting my money with the Irish if it came down to that. To be honest Boks need to suffer a proper upset for Heyneke's mind to start working. The current XV is a little far from the best possible.

Physically Ireland edging the Boks. Greater intensity from them. They won;t last the whole game. Another late win from the Boks brewing.

So we beat the AB's by holding onto the ball..

Play the Irish, back to kicking everything away....

None of our scrum halves are doing the basics right.....They're too slow, because they take their eyes off the ball and their hands are too far from the fscking grass

Froggy doesn't seem to mind that number 8 lying on the wrong side at every ruck.

Frustrating to watch.

HM's rock solid game plan!

To be fair trying to play the AB/AUS approach against NH teams when it's a little foreign to you might get Heyneke fired at the end of this tour so let's give him a pass on this one. Trust me come the WC, both AUS&NZ will play the kicking game if they want to stand a chance to win the WWE.

Willie le Roux is the most underrated player in world rugby today. The Bok brand undervalues players. If he was Australian, French or a New Zealander, heck even English he'd have even higher stock.
