Looking forward to this. Arguably the two best in form sides other than France.

A final test decider would be grand

sad thing is there are four tests....so might not get a decider

ive mixed feelings, i think one of the things that was dampening interest was playing the same teams so often in a season...but also a little excited

first disappointment for the tour is the pretty average "special" jersey they have announced...its fine....very polo shirt vibe....i was hoping for our version of the French anniversary kit

Still feels really weird/greedy that the last game/decider is going to be played in Baltimore. I could see maybe it being a bit more sensible (but still pretty low reasonableness) if this was a game in London because we know how the South Africans rock up from the UK - But Baltimore is just the ultimate cash grab target. There really aren't many South African expats there, it's purely a greed play of FIFA World Cup ticket revenues.

... Just checking ticket prices to make sure I'm not exaggerating and they are a lot more expensive than in SA or UK norms... and yep. England vs Australia tickets in near the half way line are £166. The same tickets in Baltimore are over £500.
