You’d better get crowd to set up brai behind Springbok goal line. Plenty of boerewors!
Need all the help you can get!

And the way it’s going we could well struggle against Fiji

Avoid their forwards, they can tackle hard! Especially their 6!
Actually, I wonder if you will see a different or even stronger Fiji than we did, since so many play for European clubs. (... and UK clubs? Not sure if I say European and UK now?) -

Are we likely to see AWJ playing again then, may make it back for another crack at the Six Nations?

Glad I'm not going to this one (wedding)
Masks on all the time now in the stadium where it's essentially like being outdoors but no masks in any of the pubs around Wales where it will be 10 deep at the bar
Eluned Morgan can get fucked
Wales v South Africa: Fans asked to wear masks at match
Those attending the South Africa game will also have to show Covid passes to get into the stadium.

You wouldn’t bet against the guy. I’ve written him off too many times already.

@arhs said in Wales v South Africa:
That looks weaker than the team v AB's.
LRZ better than Owen Lane
Tompkins in better form than J Williams
Biggar match fit, Anscombe not yetCarre getting the start for finishing well against NZ
Wyn Jones is the better of the two but got penalised heavily against NZ
Could be tactical to combat SA prop substitutionsAWJ injured so Rowlands next cab off the rank
Moriarty injured so Jenkins next cab off the rank
Overall a better back line, marginally worse pack.
Ultimately it will be down to winning our own ball in the set piece
Elias a very lucky man to be starting
