Hooper looks like he is crying and wants his toys back.

What's Beale's kicking game like - line kicking, field position and up and unders? I am assuming he will take those duties and be hidden away on defense.

Beale at 10. A stroke of genius or madness? Saturday will tell.

If he is at 11, he won't be marking Savea. It'll either be Ben Smith, Charles Piutau or Corey Jane (all much easier to smash than Savea)

I think and Smith, Piutau and Savea have more upside than Dagg, Smith and Savea. What counts in Dagg's favor is Piutau's possible lack of match fitness. And it is far more than me debating this. Go look on the Fern. There are plenty wanting Smith at FB.

Nah, corked thigh. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/10343114/Crockett-confident-of-recovering-for-All-Blacks

Carter injury is, apparently, not too serious. We will find out for sure tomorrow. Crockett also said he was "confident" his knee injury is not too serious. The ABs, potentially, have 3 loosehead props injured - Woodcock, Crockett and Joe Moody. In which case, Ben Franks would start. My...

Someone has to take over from McCaw as Aussie enemy number one. Every interview I have seen with him he has been humble and gracious. But then again, he isn't on the losing end very often. So maybe he is a "rank sook and a sore loser" with "zero class" -:)

I feel we are a lot better at lock than you guys.

Aside from home advantage, where do you guys see your edge over the ABs? I am thinking Hooper is better. Fardy better at turnovers than Kaino, Palu more powerful than Read, Folau is better in the air than Ben Smith. But for the injury, I would have said your hookers are better.

Where to play Beale is a conundrum for you guys. 2nd five is a problem because Nonu will run at him all day. I think one of the key positives for the Wallabies is the continued development of Foley.

Congrats Tahs.

Tahs favorites in my opinion. Best team over the season with a wider range of attacking than the Saders. Hope the Tahs don't choke on the big stage:)

I'd have the Tahs at slight favorites purely because of home advantage. Tahs more dangerous in the backs but Saders are not too shabby. Saders a little more finals nous in the forwards but the Tahs have more powerful ball runners. Hard to call. Hoping for the Tah choke obviously. (but I don't...

Bollocks to that. I call it as I see it. SA get another side because of money - not rugby quality. Exhibit A the game just now.

And the cream of SA rugby are getting reamed. Best of all - they are going to get another team in the comp'
