Our back row has its work cut out. I still think Louw is a liability. If he can recover his form of 2 years ago then fine but this year he has been slow and had little impact on the game.

This game needed Brussow.

I think Wales have fired all their bullets in the pool stages though they do have a good record in QF's. SA + 9

Do they have a good record in QF's? They've made 2 out of 7 SF's so far. Perhaps if you ignore the times they didn't even make the QF, their actual QF record would look better.

Well in comparison to say Ireland who've never made it past this stage.

They're 2/4 when making it to the QF, while SA is 3/5. That's an interesting stat. For comparison Australia is 5/7, Scotland 1/6, NZ is 6/7, France is 6/7, Argentina 1/3 and Ireland is 0/5

Can't believe how many poster are riding SA off.

South Africa will destroy Wales.

De Allende and Kriel to tear it up in the midfield and score a hat-trick. De Jager, Etzebeth and Vermulen to tear it up in tight.

Wales have guts but they can't score tries like South Africa can.

SA will probably beat NZ in the semi too ;)

Yep. RSA for me. Don't think it'll be as easy as you think SV but I can't see Wales going through.

No you don't.

You bleated like a stock piggie when he was called back into the squad and now you praise him.

Better a chicken runner than a fence sitter.
Does this mean I had to flounce from my statement like you often do?

Vok ja I was wrong about him and is vokken glad to be wrong.

Hope it make you feel better.

This is also selling well in Cmyru.

Boks will prevail but Wales will be relatively successful in shutting them down (as they did to us).

Boks by 2.

If you'd watched any welsh games Seb you'd know that no one has torn through the welsh midfield for years. Ireland have beaten Wales well by skilful kicking and getting the ball wide. But hey. If South Africa wanna try and burst through the centres then that's a perfect plan

Well we scored 38 against you in the first test in SA last year. But the next 2 have been dreary affairs for us.

The first of those probably not as much as the second, as you lost by 1 point - but at least it was much better than the week before. ;)
We should've won the second but for Steve Walsh. That game was the closest I've ever seen to a fix. The first game seem to remember we had no flankers
