[QUOTE="rugbywriter, post: 327409, member: 42104"] It's deffinitely gonna be an awesome game, but the Boks will come away with it. Having two South African teams in the Super14 final really shows what a good place SA Rugby is in at the moment. I'll be disapointed if we see an all-Shark front row, considering how useless the Sharks were this season and fullback will either be Pienaar or Kirchner so I'm not very excited about that. Still, the Bok's line-out, breakdown superiority and Morne's boot will help the Boks to a close victory. It just seems like lately Carter doesn't make anything that isn't right in front. What worries me is if Kirchner plays fullback with Dagg or Jane for New Zealand. Dagg and Jane are both outstanding players and rarely make handling errors. Kirchner does nothing but kick, and Jane and Dagg can catch a ball till the cows come home. Not to mention that Jane is one of the best counter-attackers in world rugby. So on that note, I do see New Zealand having a ton of attacking opportunities. I think Januaries slowness at getting to the ruck will be costly. I also think his poor defence will open gates for an opportunist like Cowan. But, like I said before, I think the Boks will come away with it. Apart from Richie McCaw, South Africa are far superior from numbers 4 through 8. South Africa 28 - New Zealand 24 [/QUOTE]
