[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 1052200, member: 71899"] Hmm fully unconvinced. Van de Merwe's inclusion leads me to believe that Biggar may struggle to exceed his tally of 3 passes in the last game. Bomb Kolbe appears to be the plan. That's not near enough. I have some sympathy with the Lion's selectors. An obvious tactic would be to try and play fast / wide to tire the Boks a bit. However, due to Rassie's genius every single reffing decision is going to take about 15 minutes effectively turning the game into NFL lite. The Boks can go full bore for every phase and that'll make the difference. They are bigger, stronger and not without skill especially when they are winning the gain line. Phase to phase won't take enough out of the likes of DeJager and Etzebeth to make any difference. I reckon we'll get beaten up to be honest. [/QUOTE]
