Quite a few changes from the 2023 quarter finals side.. No Cyril Baille (1), Mauvaka (2), Atonio (3), Woki (4), Ollivon (7), Alldritt (8), Dupont (9), Jalibert (10), Danty (13)... those are big guns they're missing...

IIRC ntamack would've been first choice 10 but got injured in the build up to the tournament

A lot of hate on Youtube from the frog fans toward the Boks.

It’s been like that for years, England and South Africa are the two must disliked rugby nations.

If you go back to the Dan Carter days and that NZL team for that era, everyone praised the ABs.
 
preparing for the game, the fans.... Since the last world cup, I have lost any all respect I had for them....
This was also the worst world cup ever......The world cup I remember the most is 1995 and the japan world cup...

Solid, experienced team. Go Bokke!
 
You reckon those 2 will be close? I guess Fiji can beat anyone on the day but the Scots have no chance. Only one real humdinger this weekend, hope the boys pulverise the French 😍

I didnt say those games will be close. Far from it. I said entertaining. Should be some good tries being scored, especially by NZ.
 
NZ have been uncharacteristically inconsistent this season and perhaps last season too. I expect the Scots to pitch up and give them a proper run. NZ, in the last 20 against Ireland though, were absolutely sensational. If they arrive with the same energy, the Scots are properly f ucked.

Aussies are ripe for the plucking. Been a long and arduous season for them, given their limited resources. Italians, like Scotland, must pitch up and stand a chance.

There such good match ups. Across the board. Other than Japan Ireland, we could have all games finishing withing 8-10 points.

It's going to be an incredible weekend of rugby. Guaranteed..

super excited to be here in Paris and attending the game tonight. Rain has gone, sun starting to shine. Wearing my SA rugby socks, tops and old school rugby jersey. Think I should watch the replay of their last match again since it's on youtube. This stupid hotel I am staying in has no sports channels :(
 
Boks by 15.

I was hoping to see Cheslin Cullen at 15 again, but maybe that will be Italy.

Lucky bastard!! Enjoy and keep us posted on the weather. Still 6 hours to kick off.
 
Third yellow for the All blacks.

What a day for rugby!!!
 
When you go over the goal line but the ball is held up you used to get a 5 meter scrum. Who was the genius that decided that it should be changed to a goal line kick to the opposing team. Makes zero sense and spoils the game.
