Wallabies v Boks

One team has been bashed & beaten over the last 2 weeks.

The other team is inexperienced, undersized & hasn't played for a month.

It's on tonight, I'm excited.

You should be writing copy for SKY, Mick.

If we can't win this we may as well forfeit the rest of the series.

I'm not that confident, JGK but will watch in hope.

I think we'll get them. After last night's league game anything's possible.

Aus have to overwhelming favourites

Couple of hard matches v Blacks will have primed the Boks, taips.

No, we are finally seeing the proof of what many have been saying for ages.

Pdivvy is a prime asshole.

Story here is that Fox will be compelling Brendon Cannon to apologise to Div at the beginning on the broadcast tonight. If it happens, I'll be flaming the Fox inbox.

You'd reckon, but I honestly don't know. The ABs were brilliant, the Boks weren't in either game. What does that mean for tonight? Feck all I'd say. The Boks will fire up. Victor will insist. They'll believe they can win & the lead will be gone from their boots. Ruan Pienaar will be the catalyst for a hugely improved effort.

The Wallabies, what chance? Even money & no better. There's lowish cloud but it should be a dry ball. Elsom is massively overdue for a contribution ball in hand. I'm confident Genia will be ready. To win him & Cooper must excel.

The Wallabies are fragile taips. There'll be two head cases wearing 10 & 12.

Nah, we are missing Juan Smith more than people realise.

Cheers Pete. I love the fact that the team doesn't play every week. You get to truly look forward to a match.

Juan, Jake, Bismarck, Fourie & Brian's heart.

Fourie yes.

The word around is that Bismarck can be a disruptive force

Is he hurt or out of favour?

Injured.

But both he and his brother are out of the Sharks and on their way to Melbourne

pharque! I didn't know that. They love playing under MacQueen.

It's been on the cards for some time. It might explain the Sharks successful season.

Not even mentioned as a rumour here.

You're not optimistic about the result? Whaddya reckon they need to change?

Will see if I can scare something up.

The coach?

Fourie and Devilliers back at centre.

Frans Steyn back from France.

A scrummie who can pass more than 5 metres.

Juan Smith.

A lobotomy for Bakkies.

The coach? Given the politics, that's gotta be unlikely.

Fourie and Devilliers back at centre. Not options for this match. Fourie is a massive loss.
Frans Steyn back from France. Talking of head cases as I was earlier, what his story? Wants to make his bundle before an injury intervenes?
A scrummie who can pass more than 5 metres. aye, that's an asset. Pienaar will set a very different tone tonight.

Juan Smith. yep, him or Brousow (sp?)
A lobotomy for Bakkies. Dekkers is a better package.A bullet for Bakkies.

Quite a few old stories like this one.

Everything seems under wraps at the moment

Cheers taips. I'm off.

Correct unfortunately. We won the TN despite him last year.

Steyn is still a youngster. Will be back for the WC and should be better for his French experience.

Brossouw is more a like for like replacement for Burger. Doesn't get though Smith's work in the tight/loose.

Bekker appears to be a bit soft to me. Can't play him and Matfield in the same team.
