[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 150563"] What the Boks need to do is to do the basics well, especially in the 1st half. Keep it tight, kick for the corners, put pressure on the Fijian set-pieces. Attack their scrums and lineouts especially. Dominate possession and territory, and make the Fijians make a helluva lot of tackles around the fringes. Forget all about trying to give the ball air for the 1st 60 minutes, and then when fatigue kicks in, unleash the running game. Simple subdue and penetrate. However, I fear that the Boks might well be suckered into throwing the ball around, trying to match the Fijian flair. We`ve seen this happen against both Tonga and the USA. If the Boks play smart rugby, keep it tight amongst their pack and wear down the opposition, we could well walk away with a 50-60 point win. But if we`re suckered into playing the high-risk stuff, probably more like a 10-15 point win, conceding 3 or 4 tries in the process. I`m going for something in-between, Boks by 20-odd points.
