So any predictions on how we'll fare in tomorrows game? Tight game .... or a runway? Will we play attacking rugby or a defensive game? Score predictions?

I think if we can string together our attacking brand, we'll run away with this one ..... score: 41-23 to the Springboks :D
 
Argentinians were the team of the last world cup until we made them look very ordinary in that semi final. They very much like the French in that they can blow hot and cold but tomorrow at the coke cola park they could be in for a pounding, I say 15-20 point...
 
They nearly beat us a few years back, but don't see them getting close this time.
Any of our Currie cup teams should beat them.
 
and so it begins.. my blood is GREEN ... but.. I am uneasy about today's match.
The Pumas did really well in the WC and they have about 10 of those players in their squad? Their scrum has always been their strength so beast will be put under pressure. Contepomi will be a handful at flyhalf. We will still do it but I reckon they will make us sweat for the victory.

The commentators are as bad as some people on here. Hugh Bladen is now saying that SA are playing some "terrific rugby"... a dramatic change from 5 minutes ago!

We were not playing well. Thats all that was said.

We are playing much better now.

Quite a change of tune from your comments on the cricket thread. Surely it is a bit premature to write off the team mid way through the first half?

And it was not just said that they were not playing well. In fact the word inept was used!

Inept–adjective
1. without skill or aptitude for a particular task or assignment; maladroit:
2. generally awkward or clumsy; haplessly incompetent.
3. inappropriate; unsuitable; out of place.
4. absurd or foolish: an inept remark.

Remarks like that seemed very premature. That is what I was saying and lucky for me 4 minutes later it seems I may have been right...
 
Great tries by Nokwe & Jacobs. :)

Really slow start though. Our forwards aren't dominating how you'd expect them to.
