There is no way we could underestimate the English. Have to be 100% switched on.

That is hardly terrible. Few teams have your kind of backup. Against Italy this won't be an issue at all. I expect the Italians to get well and properly stuffed. Frizell and Retalic back is absolutely massive. Changes to complexion of the pack completely. Also starting Codie is way better...

This. It is off the scale good.

True. He gave the halfback no time but the halfback had time to get it out before and hesitated. Had he produced it quicker, would we have scored for sure? No. We lost this game primarily bc of slowness / inaccuracy at the breakdown, not the ref. Points would have helped of they were kicked...

SAFFA humour at its finest :)

Petal. What have you been watching?

Always rated him. However, this is not the Tonga defense. If he can keep those numbers against SA I'll be the first to acknowledge that he is currently the best. There is a subtle change in our defense over the last few weeks. We either flood the breakdown or let them play and rush. Will be...

The game will be won or lost based on whether Ireland can counter the forward onslaught. Really simple. Find a way to get near parity at the breakdown and a way to unlock the rush defense and Ireland wins. No need to guess how we will play.

7/1 bench like against NZ

Who said we're were favorites? Nobody thinks that. Every other forum or SA news site acknowledges that this was a very weak Welsh side. All the SA supporters I know think we are really up against it. My prediction is we are out in the quarters. I also predict that we lose against Scotlnd and...

This is a VERY difficult pool. Fiji and Georgia will be well up for it. Look out.

The squads are not official until 1 September. If that fails. Just beat up one of the little guys. Who needs 4 anyway?

Pollard reported running at full pace and taking full contact in training. Great news as it is plain to see that Libbok has great potential but he is not ready.

As a Saffa I am very worried about Scotland. I'd say it's 50/50. Scotland need to get off to a flyer and make us play catch up. That;s their best chance. We will want to suck them into a dirty arm wrestle from the outset. What a well coached side they are.

Pollard would have made zero difference in that test. Our forward got blown away in the first half. Our collision accuracy was abysmal, and we were off the pace in every facet. No flyhalf fixes that. But with No Pollard and Am we are not defending the title. He also picked four scrummies...

Pollard out of the competition. Pity. He was in almost his best form for Leicester. This gives the Boks a chance to see if Libbok can step up to this level. Calling in Jantjes as a backup is a massive step backwards. I would rather have had a 40-year-old Ruan Pienaar who is playing excellent...

Y'all fired that guy.

you need one less team and you need to beat the Kiwis more than they beat you. it will be like magic

Out! Out! You dirty rotten Saffa. We can tolerate Saffas here, but ones that want to take sound business decisions? Nice try. Off you go buddy. This is OUR boy's club.
