The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

Lads, I'm nervous.. Bokke will smash us English, all I can hope for is that its not by more then 30 points.

Nah, England will be up for it. Guaranteed. They need to bring the same energy and attitude that they did against France and they'll be alright.

Rassie has made a few speculative selections specifically on the bench. No specialised 10 or locks. Eben's hardly played any rugby lately and psdt is returning from quite a lengthy injury lay off.

Manie's been given the keys to the car. Element of risk with no cover. Willemse could essentially cover 10 if need be but if we find ourselves down and chasing, Willemse at 10 isn't going to save us.

By contrast England have selected a big pack. Ollie at flank is a like for like re weight and height vs psdt. Martin is a banger in the Eben mould and Coles at 2.07m is a menace in the lineouts.

Genge, George and Heyes is probably the meanest and most settled and experienced front row unit currently playing in Europe.

The Boks will need to be sharp tomorrow. Lack of commitment or accuracy or attitude on defense and it could be a long night.

Same applies to England.

England will have a long day in the scrums. If they can avoid that and get speed off the line they will have a chance.

A slow game and the Boks win by 20
