Was a good game! Sharks showed their teeth proper! Their Bok contingent was absolutely on fire! If they can regularly field anywhere near their full strength side, for extended periods of the season, they in contention for the play offs, easy!!

Very good 9 but I was especially impressed with Cortez Latima. NZ got some quality 9s coming through the ranks.

Gents, I’m nervous, I can’t sleep.. I know it’s only NZ tomorrow , but then the Boks in 3 weeks time, us soft English are going to be hammered.

Why you nervous? Twickenham has been good to the English. It's why they only ever play their home games there.

I wish the Boks could play every test at Ellis Park. I wonder how their home record would look if they did?

 

[sand_man]

I see the bookies have NZ to win. I got England by a single score... really looking forward to this match!! Should be a cracker!!

How's the weather though? Rain and snow and chances of it being highly entertaining diminish.

The NZL pundits won't be able to handle another loss for NZL Rugby lol but I think they will be too strong for England.

Methinks the English are being their usual petty selves. They did it with the haka as well.


This is gonna be a black-on-white basging I'll look forward to.
