[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 971909, member: 74121"] Yes, the Boks kick it. But the Welsh backs can handle that all day long. If it turns into aerial ping-pong then I would give Wales an edge, as Pollard, Willie and Faf are not overly consistent at that style of play. Plus Wales would have the sense and ability to tackle the Bok lineout if Marx is throwing (which Japan failed to do, probably because they were understandably terrified of the rolling maul and focussed on defending that). To put my comment in context, France outplayed Wales for long periods, but Wales hung in there. Australia also looked the better team in the second half against them and I think the Boks will look superior. I just rate Framce and Australia a bit more highly than most relative to the Boks. Nobody seems to get maximum efficiency out of a team quite like Gatland in a big game, so I think the Boks will probably win, but won't boss it. [/QUOTE]
