Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

[qwerty51]

Given how early Link usually names his team the delay is intriguing. Expecting some shake ups.

 

[Dctarget]

8pm tonight?

 

[KOB1987]

yes, you would think it's either:
1) a player or two doubtful with a niggle,
2) undecided on a key combination or two, or
3) none of the above, he's just fucking with us..

 

[KOB1987]

8pm tonight?

allegedly..

 

[Scrubber2050]

Joe in place of Horne? or Kuridrani?

Would have to be wing - does Joe play elsewhere?

 

[Braveheart81]

Maybe it's just the fact that they're on tour and there's no need to stick to a regularly scheduled press conference to announce the team?

 

[KOB1987]

Would have to be wing - does Joe play elsewhere?

yes, I meant shift AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to 13..

 

[Wilson]

Joe in place of Horne? or Kuridrani?

Only reason to drop Kurindrani is if he's injured

that would be way too boring..

 

[KOB1987]

I do agree, he has been very good..

Genia in

What, in denial???????

 

[KOB1987]

Saia definitely and I reckon Joe Tomane on the wing - cannot see any others on the horizon.

spot on Scrub

 

[KOB1987]

The voices inside your head saying that one?

that was re Saia to start TWAS

 

[Scrubber2050]

Horne has to be disappointed, as maybe Hanson and Cowan.

Congrats to Robbo - at least at 50-70 minutes, when Slipper and kepu replaced we should still have a strong scrum.

 

[Wilson]

Would've liked to see Genia on the bench instead of White

I hope so, Robinson hasn't scrummaged well under the new laws, but I'm willing to believe he may have finally adapted, I suppose will find out on Sunday morning.

 

[PaarlBok]

Obviously a 40 point victory, Boet, but which way?

Bokke by 50.

 

[Pfitzy]

Announcement wasn't scheduled until 8PM Sydney time???
