Same team as the Mt. Smart game against SA?

[Victor Meldrew]

No surprises. Nepo & Sami T on to strengthen scrum in last 20.

[Billy Tell]

Feel for Newell but it’s probably a sensible decision.

I’m glad we’ve not copied the Boks crazy 7-1 idea.

[African Monkey]

Where the fuck is Cam Roigard?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is that still a thing?

[sparky]

@Tim Same starting XV, but Tupou Vaai, Braydon Ennor and Caleb Clarke were on the bench rather than Sam Whitelock, DMac and ALB.

[BerniesCorner]

Come on Foz you got this

[Smuts]

That’s a bloody good team. Can’t wait.

Sir Ian Foster, IRB Coach of the year?

[ACT Crusader]

@African-Monkey Frizell? Why do they keep picking him? Ioane isn’t a centre. Beaudie is past it. Our old locks aren’t up to it. Why is Codie starting and not Sami?

[pakman]

@Smuts Boks have many eggs in Pollard basket.

Williams sure has had a meteoric rise. He will be finishing off the biggest game and yet he’s still a 23yo pup.

Boks starting with plan B with plan A sitting in the stands?

Running rugby versus anti-rugby in a true good versus evil showdown. Or am I just over dramatising this because of how slow the week is going?

Nah, it’s men in shorts, but I think most of the neutrals in the stands or watching on TV will be supporting the Men In Black for the evening.

Not at all. It’s sensible for you to embrace your villlainy.
