              Boks are red hot favourites
              Aussie is a coint toss
              We should win if we step up in the forwards and the bench play well. I'm not confident though ... the odds look best for an upset

                That’s probably true. They’re far too busy whinging about Murray getting booted out of Wimbledon.

                    I thought he was only Scottish when he was winning. Lose and he reverts to British.

                        Aside from the lack of physicality in our tight 5, we feel very predictable to play against. Are we going to see anything different? Honestly, it feels like old school shit Blues style, where we throw the ball wide and hope for some individual magic to win games. We haven't coped with a rush since Lions 1, and there our fatties were sensational.

                        I think we should win - but I am far from confident. I can see us copping a Red as well if we don't keep tackle heights down (and the cursed bent over running style of opposition)

                          I'm confident we'll win. What i'm not confident in is if we'll look like we've turned a corner at all.

                            @nzzp I hope there aint any cards, Red means gone completely doesnt it?

                            this is what Red cards are there for, to deal with this filth, not accidental head contact, but even so, I think 20 mins for Ireland with only 14 was sufficient, heaslip was gone.

                                  @mariner4life Home advantage and the history that comes with it says we'll win, but I wish I was relying more on the players!

                                  My confident feeling departed when Will Jordan said, "Fuck, I think I've got a bit of a sore throat"! .

                                        that's sorta the point

                                        if the winning and losing of the game at our absolute fortress is the presence of one, admisttedly very exciting, winger, then we really are completely fucked. Especially considering the rest of the XV was probably penned in before the Covid issues.

                                                    so Jordan to centre then. so he gets the ball more or some shit.

                                                    Also i guess Scott Barrett to be AB captain from 6

                                                        Yeah - Reuben used to go to lock on occasion - especially for the Crusaders vs Jaapie teams and we'd run them off their feet.

                                                              the odds look best for an upset

                                                              we'll win

                                                              and if we don't then wowee the shit will definitely hit the fan.

                                                              I've got the popcorn in my Amazon basket already - just need to click "Buy"..

A bit light in the centres and a bit undercooked on one wing. I think it will be close but we will get shaded.
