    No Bob

    That was not help ;-) . I cannot get a feel for the upcoming game.

    I know it is going to different to the AB’s, I just can make up my mind whether they are going to play up front or run the ball.

    If they play up front, we have a good chance but if they are going to run at us, I feel we going to have a problem. Giteu and Mortlock are danger men. Who do we have who can take them on? Yeah our guys, Habana, Petersen, Steyntjie has played well on defense, so maybe Im just being silly.

    What is your prediction????

    I will give my prediction, hopefully in the right place this time, tomorrow.

    In a way: this is the most difficult score to predict: Weather: Will play in our favor, i think. We have more speed to follow up- and -unders. Fetchers? Think Schalk has to upskill his wine skills, I think. That man Brussouw is gonna be worth 9 point already – in Boks favor. What a player!! I am worried about the only AB in the squad, alla coach, RD. He is sharp, really sharp and an intelligent coach…Still I think the Boks, could and should take this. Will wait till Friday for my score!!!

    This is going to be a GREAT test! Agreed.
    Just the fact that Bok Rugby is at a place where we go into Tri-Nation games as favourites is enough for me.

    Last week we saw the Blacks change their game plan in an effort to take us one.
    If the talk in the All Black locker room is ” We HAVE to take our chances and run from everywhere – it’s the only chance we’ve got to beat these guys” – well, as a South African, you really can’t ask for a bigger compliment.

    Regarding the Ausies – I agree Bob, it is going to be tougher and if the Boks play the way they’ve played in the past few weeks it will be close.
    The Ausies (and Deans) are a smart bunch – with a bit of luck here and there, they might surprise us. That’s the great thing about this game – you can never be 100% sure….

    But – and it’s a BIG but – I think the Boks can up their game even further. It’s as if they’re starting to believe that they are indeed the best and I don’t think we’ve seen this team peak yet……
    Let’s hope Saturday is another gear change.

    I’ll be in the Railway Stand to witness it.
    Go Bokke !!!

    By the way Bob, seeing that you’re showing off Newlands in the background – have you seen the virtual tour of the stadium?
