I can agree with the last bit 😉
I wish you, as a die hard Bok supporter, good luck for Saturday but I shall be shouting for Wales. Though I feel a little uncomfortable saying that.
You loves it really
We'll see if I can actually get the words "C'mon Waaaales" out without having a seizure.

@Billy-Webb optimistic that it’ll be closer to Aus 1, 2019 than Wales in Washington, 2018.
Out of interest here are the lineups for those experimental bok lineups:
Aus 1, 2019
15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Sibusiso Nkosi, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 André Esterhuizen, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Herschel Jantjies, 8 Francois Louw, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6 Rynhardt Elstadt , 5 Lodewyk de Jager, 4 Eben Etzebeth (captain), 3 Trevor Nyakane, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Lizo Gqoboka, 18 Vincent Koch, 19 Marvin Orie, 20 Marcel Coetzee, 21 Cobus Reinach, 22 Frans Steyn, 23 Dillyn Leyds.Wales in Washington, 2018
Curwin Bosch; Travis Ismaiel, Jesse Kriel, Andre Esterhuizen, Makazole Mapimpi; Elton Jantjies, Ivan van Zyl; Ox Nche, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Wilco Louw, Jason Jenkins, Pieter-Steph du Toit (capt), Kwagga Smith, Oupa Mohoje, Dan du Preez
Replacements: Akker van der Merwe, Steven Kitshoff, Thomas du Toit, Marvin Orie, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Embrose Papier, Robert du Preez, Warrick Gelant
My loose assessment is Saturday’s team is closer to Aus 1. They’re at home, have a far stronger leadership group than either of those sides and the newbies are far better than what went out in Washington.
But this is also a much better Welsh team. Can’t wait.

Chick singing the South African national anthem looked like she'd turned up in a convertible and hadn't fixed her hair.

Bold move to get someone who has no idea how to pronounce Welsh words to sing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
-
Biggar already annoying the ref after 30 seconds
-
Cripple fight

This is appalling, almost unbearable. And, if anything, the rugby is even worse than the music.

Gardner just made one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. No idea how the touchie agreed.
AWJ binned for ….. nothing. Literally nothing.
That was worse than the Georgian
Fucking travesty -
Bloody great win for Wales.
Really chuffed for them.

South Africa 12-13 Wales
Big-scoring by the sound of it. Wales win after the hooter.
Well done Wayne Pivac, on the 12th attempt? He's a kiwi so that's NZ winning the rugby today.Moral: if you don't succeed, get some mates on the NZ Rugby board. Yup not talking about Wayne here.

Huge achievement to win in SA for the first time
But fuck we were rubbish and didn’t deserve to win
What I can’t fathom is how we can have a conveyor belt of world class flankers but can’t find a hooker who can throw the ball less than 10m in a straight line
-
Congrats to Wales on breaking that duck. Happy for AWJ especially. It was a dour snorefest in sublime conditions and sets up next week properly. Plenty introspection needed on both sides and hopefully we will see a livelier decider -
-
I don’t think we would have won if Biggar was still on the park
Next week
Forwards deserve another go
AWJ in if Beard is banned (he’s been cited apparently)Williams has to start at 9
Biggar at 10, Anscombe at 12
North on the bench -
How the fuck was AWJ given a yellow card? Christ Gardner is a clown.
