Your blokes won there in 1937 as well. Others were:

Australia 1913, 1952, 1958, 1998
Lions 1977
World XV 1992
France 1994

Overall 39/48 at Lancaster Park & 3/3 at "new" AMI.

Coetzees doesn't need to do anything this weekend if this doesn't fire up the Bok nothing will

I know the AB's won't be getting ahead of themselves but the Kiwi media sure are

^^^^^^^^^^^ Mark Reason seems to be trying to make up for his father's incessant trolling of NZ rugby circa 1960's-1980's by being an even bigger pro-NZ troll. Makes Gregor Paul look fair & balanced.

Sopoaga in place of Cruden on the bench? Injury or form?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Bit of a gamble by SA not to have a No 9 on the bench.

They've got a spare one on the wing

Cruden has a groin strain

Blacks by 50.

 

[PaarlBok]

Have a good feel about this one. Bokke to surprise and win by 1.

Reads like a Kiwi wrote it and was sacred to jinx themselves by not wanting to predict a blowout!

Now listen here, @mst(s), I've given the God of Random Rugby Results (GRRR for short) her bottle & put her down for a nice nap with the invisibility blanket Richie gave her & a pretty sweet Rob Simmons soft toy. If you should wake her up prior to 19:00ish Saturday AEST with more of that foolish talk, I've nothing left except "Hey! Look over there! Wallabies!"

I will be making a'lotta noise and waking the GRRR about 18:00 and hoping she wakes up and gets out of the wrong side of bed;and possibly take it out on a certain team just cause she can!

PS - Its also a ploy to distract her from the events starting at 20:00ish!

Sightings of Springboks down Victoria St at the casino heavy on the sauce...

You sure its not the Kiwis? Check for any "dance performance" as that will confirm it

If that is true it's utterly damning. Get your heads out of your arses Springboks.

Maybe a bit pessamistic Blue, but I tend to think that the ABs will win comfortably. Fine, sunny day forecast for Christchurch, so no rain to slow them down either.
