[2018 Rugby Championship] Round 6: South Africa v New Zealand (06/10/2018)

[SomeOke]

Pretty much zero surprises for the Springbok team... Koch in for Louw is the closest and I'm sure they are just resting him. DDA back, Flouw in for Notshe, otherwise pretty standard.
Nothing left but to enjoy the game!

Also happy that Brieklig is starting. All in all happy with the team, now I just hope we're up for the backlash

Kitsoff? My soutie friends and I call him world eater .

I actually like Beast starting though, then Kitsoff can have a big impact in the last 30 minutes (and Beast doesn't give ground to anyone). Beast coming off the bench doesn't seem like the same impact. Happy though, Kitsoff is probably the better all round player.

Brieklig is an awesome nickname for him.

He definitely needs a nickname of some kind:

What happened to Thomas the Tank Du Toit?

What happened to Thomas the Tank Du Toit?

One for the future, don't think he's out of favour just a little low on the pecking order, he's only played a season or two of super rugby.

 

[Steeler]

Yes. He's at home due to family bereavement.

Update: Both teams have now been announced and added to the OP

no Retallick or Damo Mckenzie, big chance for u guys imo

game wont be decided by DMac not playing

Still think it's a crime Dmac is backup 10 ahead of Mo'unga.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

Mo'unga's got the nod this week, maybe Hansen is coming around to having a specialist first five in the squad, barrett gets to try and cut loose to start with and Mo'unga comes on to play a bit tighter, control things a bit more

 

[Bean]

All Blacks have this easily.

My prediction: AB 75 : RSA 6

 

[Bull]

Louw again , I don't understand the love affair SA coaches has with this guy. Looks like an ok team, glad Esterhuizen is out. AB's to win though.

 

[All Black]

If the Boks win this then they have truly turned a corner because we're coming to win. It makes for a good game.

 

[SomeOke]

Bokke by 25, Aphiwe Dyantyi to be named king of Wakanda and granted New Zealand as a fief.

 

[TRF_heineken]

I think this game is going to be a close one. And a lot is going to depend on how we start the game. If we let the AB's get a lead, then I don't think we will have it to pull it off again like in Wellington.

honestly this is an odd comment

it has more chance that it will than it won't

world class sub in the final 30 minutes, he decided the game last time in SA where we won by 1 point, match winning run

i also believe retallick would've won the match for us the other week - so missing those two is no doubt a major loss

hahahaha

good funny point

but i think Beaudy leaving 15+ points out on the tee was more game deciding than that!

 

[Steeler]

here's the vid as a reminder to some folk what we'll be missing!




also how good is Havili here? what an offload, he's better than Jordie imo
