[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1147814, member: 74895"] Has to be full strength v Tonga with the aim of getting a BP win. Rotate & rest v Romania and then full strength v Ireland. A BP win v Tonga is v likely to be imperative but given SA v Ireland is the day before our game we'll have a clear picture of what is needed from a BP and points difference perspective against Tonga and Romania. Last thing we want is going into the Ireland game needing a BP win and keeping them to 3 tries - that's as good as a dead rubber in my eyes. I guess a non BP Boks win by 8+ points probably suits us best to have any hope going into the last game. We could be as good as out on Saturday depending on how SA v Ireland goes and we'll have only played one game. Ridiculous seedings compounded by a shocker of a draw. Well done World Rugby. After deciding to have the last RWC during monsoon season in Japan it's clear that they couldn't organise a bevy up in a brewery. [/QUOTE]
