Awesome to see Moodie and Le Roux there - I know Le Roux can be a bit oofy sometimes but he is a great playmaker and pairs well with Pollard, especially given the 7-1 split! Here's hoping Le Roux can break his 100th cap before mid 2025!

Am + Esterhuizen as center pair is going to be interesting but I think this play is designed more around defense than offence.

Can't wait to hear the European rugby pundits lambast SA rugby for 'dangerous' 7-1 split again...all we have to say against that is:

"He's in your head...in your heaaaaaaaad - RAAASIE RAAAASIE RAAAASIIIE IIEE IIEE"

Rassie's trolling us with that starting XV.,. Gees Louise, but that is as high risk a selection as you will ever see.
 
So what do you guys think? Ireland v New Zealand. NZL to win it?
 
Irish hanging on. All Blacks should try and loosen up the game in second half.
Harsh yellow methinks.
Five years ago we wouldn't even blink at that tackle...

He was literally crouching when he hit the irish player. Nope high tackle and yellow. Just. Lol
 
Haven't seen a team with quality tackling like these irish. Really amazing

Also, the nx nr 9 is terrible

There was another hands in ruck off feet that also wasnt seen by the ref and not called back by the TV ref
 
My boss is Irish. He is not going to have a good Monday, especially if England thrash the Aussies and he has to hear about that too.
