Love rugby Likely to be objective about Aussie rugby Tend to be wary of AB tactics and agendas Cautious about Springbok chances Do not have enough time to want to know about any other teams

The Curry one was no more than a yellow. the defensive player was passive and there was no intent at all. Simply an accidental head cash.
World Cup TMO system in disarray as Bok escapes punishment and Chilean just cops yellow a day after Curry sees red
Is there a thumbs down available? Not worth commenting any further on this post.

Through their squad selection, the Boks have made it clear that passengers or wheelies will not be tolerated. Even though the likes of Pollard and Am could possibly be available later on, they were not selected. There is a contract of honour between coaching staff and the squad of fit players selected of national interest. No one in the squad is more special than another.
Injuries is not a concern to me, the depth outside the squad is there.
SPIRO ZAVOS: The best team in the tournament, not necessarily the best team, will win the 2023 RWC
All blacks doing a 3/5 split v Springboks 8/0. Who will be better off?
'Next step is eight-zero': Eddie applauds Springboks' 'bold and courageous' innovation to bench
The Aussies could be sitting pretty at the business end. So why not throw an early challenge and call their bluff?

Next thing you know, they will play a no8 at scrumhalf

Bliksem, that Williams guy just caused a whole lotta just nuisance!

I working off the slightest of memory here (you can help me out), but back when the Boks had that 15/16 game steak with Mallet in charge, Mallet said something about a new name in the Bok team during the Northern tour, something to the effect of: Despite of his size I have to have Rassie Erasmus in my team as he is the most intelligent rugby player I have come across.

unless it was a piece of foul play that was massively intentional
I am thinking some form of amnesty for those then wrongfully red carded in the past may be in order.

Harry, another great piece of writing from you. Made me think you should team up with Lee Child.
What three hours in a bar taught me about RWC contenders - including the 'most confident 0-4 team on the planet'
The squad selection is crazy! There is now an excellent chance for some minnows to get into the reckoning. I am disappointed as one of the three southern hemishere countries have elected to self destruct . The Wallaby selections borders on the delusional. EJ is severely overrated as a tactician. Any rationalisation of his overall squad selection and choice of captain is wanting an miracle to happen, followed by an intense investigation into misapplication of viable resources.
The best team out of this lot will not beat Wales. Full stop. Group C now provides a realistic opportunity for Fiji and Georgia to contest towards the QF.
All said, I will acknowledge that I will be totally unprepared and happy to accept that I am an idiot if I happen to be wrong.
'Surprised the hell out of me': Jones gets a 'disciple for life' with left field call on 'reluctant' World Cup captain
Manie and Grant, they must make more of these two. Speed in abundance. Game breakers. Must have. The selectors/coaches are far too conservative. I do not want my team to win the world cup as underdogs every twelve years! I have better things to do in between.
More than ever, the Springboks' hopes rest on what's coming from the 10
I love Libbok at ten, a natural (but different) over Willemse as back-up to Pollard. A must have on the bench when Pollard is back, IMO. If the coaching team does not have confidence in Esterhuizen (who I really like) for 12, why not just try Willemse there. Just to see? Nothing to lose in three nothing games to go after this week.

Kiwi View: The rare Boks moment that showed Wallabies where the All Blacks are vulnerable
True
Eztebeth leads Boks, Willemse at 10 but Wallaby destroyer misses out altogether for All Blacks clash
Mapimpi gets underestimated time and again.

Weather or not, the Boks will try to get then into the gutter

If the ABs go with who I expect, the most intriguing matchup for me will be the midfield battle between the makeshift centres v proper centres.

I expect a real dogfight and most action at close quarters for this one.

I suspect Marx will get a decent run, on after 30.

Quite the opposite. It is a sprint now fellows. Also, you do not learn from excuses.

Vision as important as selection after physical and mental battering - and it could mean following France's '19 RWC path
They can make bad kicks look good

Both players trying to get their heads out of the way. Much too much made out of this.
