Played them in 95 Final, 03 QF, 15 QF
15 SF. Being pedantic.

99th time the All Blacks will have play the Old Foe.
That's pretty cool.
So possible for the 100th on the biggest stage.
That, my friend, would be a storyline from Boys-own.
Which, if the case, and given that they will be the underdogs, of course means the Boks win the RWC
Nah Buff Boks are def favourites
A Sunday Times rugby panel at a London World Cup gathering saw three of the four pundits opting for the Boks to win their third World Cup.

Barnes' said after "losing their way" under previous coach Pieter de Villiers, the Boks have found their mojo with Rassie Erasmus
Barnes is obviously an idiot.

True. I'm not sure of the words for Mr De Villiers but I'm probably not allowed to say "pot calling kettle black".

Agreed.
I am not a de Villiers fan, but to be fair to his tenure, the Boks actually did ok - mainly because he was wise enough to leave the coaching to the senior players.
The slide started post de Villiers. It's only now under Rassie that some semblance of "finding their way"seems to be coming back. -

Aura was recently spotted in Tokyo having sushi... with Secret Pact.
Insiders report a bit of a romance blossoming...On a more serious note - anyone who even remotely discounts the All Blacks is going to end up with egg(roll) on their face.

When have we ever paid any attention to UK rugby scribes here on the Fern?

@Billy-Webb all the time, if only to ridicule them

@Billy-Webb Why egg roll?

Egg roll is more a american chinese thing. Chawanmushi perhaps?

@rotated said in RWC All Blacks v South Africa:
I've got a pretty strong feeling there will be no dual playmakers for this one in the starting XV. Barrett at 10 and Smith at 15.
Yeah, I actually think the dual play-maker thing is more likely to be something we pull out at the 50-minute mark in all the big games. The question then becomes, who plays in the back three? I'm not sure what they'll do for this game - I suspect it will be the same combo they played against Tonga - but I reckon there's an outside change we might see Rieko, Jordie and Bender in the back three in one of the "big" games during this tournament.

How funny would it be if our super secret powder dry game plan was to grind in the forwards to win penalties and then have Jordie slotting them from 55 m out with an aim to score 15 points
The meltdown would be something to behold ... -
