[QUOTE="unrated, post: 822965, member: 45773"] I get what you are saying. Records and stats point to a South Africa win. The problem is that we have not seen a complete performance yet. To believe we are going to do that against England is hopeful at best.Many of us have been scarred by the Ireland series and the RC Even the slightest indication of something positive will change my expectations But its a paradox. Expect a win and set yourself up for possible chronic disappointment or expect to lose and experience higher levels of joy when you win. I always give my team a chance whether its the Sharks playing with 13 men in Christchurch or the woefully out of form Springboks playing a form team at home. But from an objective point of view England has to be favoured to win. If we can pull of a win the chances of achieving a grand slam will skyrocket and it will restore some much needed faith in the national team. [/QUOTE]
