I will be in the main stand for this game! Can't wait!
Seeing that we can't braai at the stadium (damn Park and Ride rules)! Me, my dad and my brothers are driving early Saturday Morning from Polokwane to Pretoria. Then we're going to braai at the Guest House we stay and then 13:00 get on the bus from Menlyn to Soccer City.
then when we get there, we go straight to the beer tent, to kill 4 hours before the game starts...
I will be the guy in my Bok Jersey, singing Die Stem Loud and Proud... oh wait, that would be every single one of the Bok supporters inside the 90 000 seat stadium...
Cracking game, will definitely stay up for this one! I think the all blacks will edge the boks, but the boks will come out firing like last weekend so I wouldn't exactly write them off completely.
oh fok, check out the ref!
Bokke to def win it now!!!

South Africa host New Zealand in the 95,000-seater World Cup soccer stadium in the last round of the Rugby Championship and - like the Pretoria Test against Australia at the weekend - the game will not be a sell-out.
Tickets costing R250 for the Boks versus All Blacks at Soccer City have now gone out on general sale.
SARU revealed that almost 7,000 tickets at R250 were released exclusively through Soweto outlets - but have now been put on general sale. This is in addition to tickets available in premium seats at R600 and a number remaining at R450.
Anyway, looks like ticket sales aren't going so smoothly. Might give the All Blacks a slight advantage...

All just because Ellis Park suck as a venue in it it's current location
Had this stadium been in Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town or PE and it would have been filled close to capacity.
Play the games where the rugby people live, not the soccer masses

It's a 90000 seater. Selling 50000 would be more than fine for most tests. Why not 'give away' tickets at R50 to 40000 people in Soweto who would not buy at R250? Do your part for growing the game in SA, SARU! And if the problem is that the stadium is asking for too high a fee for hosting then I am sure it can be negotiated as we have an unique situation in SA.
Get that stadium full even if you have to drive in 20 local schools by bus! And give each child a Bok t-shirt. That is what a governing body caring about grass root development of their code should do.
