I wonder if they have seen size stats on Pollard? Not that AC is big to begin with. Pollard will be very solid in defense, his inexperience in attack may be his only drawback at this juncture in his career. Will SA finally unearth a world class 10??
I Think that final kick where Steyn failed to find touch (and in doing so failed to beat the 16 opponents on the park) has meant that he has fallen out of favour, surprised that he hasnt even cracked a nod for the pine.
With MS falling out the 23, BdP on the pine, it looks like HM is showing his senior players that they need to perform on the park to earn their spot for the next game.

OuBoet AC = poster. He is only big in trolling.

Nice bit of research there PB. That oke Alischoice seems to have a split personality.

The guy has issues. Lots of them. Just ignore him. He pops up here now and then and acts like a complete buffoon.

Not a lot of comment from the usual NZ posters on this thread, but plenty of Saffer banter.
Which mob of supporters is more nervous, and which is more confident?
Hard to gauge whether kiwi silence on this thread is confidence, or nervousness, and for the Saffers: is the posting interest due to nervousness or confidence.
Bokke vs Black are usually pretty hard fought encounters with no prisoners taken, but I think The Darkness have this in a 12-20 point victory, depending on weather. Bokke to find some starch finally.

I'll be happy if tomorrow night is half the test match of that one.
Both sides played quality rugby.

A bit of nervousness as well as expectation from my side at least. Been too long since we last beat the All Blacks.

Tomorrow is going to be a tough day. Bokke & WeePee away against the top teams in the competitions. Bonus points on the log will be a bonus. I do have a special feeling for the Bokke, win in NZ vs the All Blacks is bigger then any WC trophe and I expect the Bokke to put up a very special performance.

The Boks biggest problem is their own consistency works against them against the AB's. Because the ABs know they will turn up every time, the AB's never take them lightly and they never get the chance to pull a surprise over the all blacks like the Wallabies occasionally do, that we still rarely take advantage of.
Unfortunately the Boks to my eyes have regressed from last years form. ABs by 2 converted tries.

Maybe you right HJ, could be a little nervousness, or just could be in my case,I not sure I got a hell of a lot to add. I will say again to me Bok all Black tests to me are the pinnacle, and I find I don't get into a hell of a lot of banter. Mind you I do love discussing games with Bok supporters, so perhaps there is a little bit of nerves keeping me quiet. Still as today according to a bit of paper called a birth certificate I apparently turn the big 6 with a zero after it, so I think I am just going to sit back let the test come along and enjoy it!! If I don't get back in here today to all Bok supporters all the best, I hope it another good test, and I have seen and heard some crackers over the years,and hell I still never get sick of them, and may the best team win ( hopefully the ABs) and lets hope the winning and losing fans take the result with proper sportsmanship and good grace!

Meant to quote Hugh Jarse in this response. Silly mistake from my mobile.

Here's hoping the AB give you a present befitting the occasion. Something approaching that Eliis Park doozy they showed last night would be nice. Happy birthday regardless, though.

Have a great one Dan!
Respectfully, I hope the Bokke win despite your birthday. I know you're the kind who would appreciate an honest loss anyway.
Let's hope there's no match official talk I agree.
