Yes. Bok can win this. ABs have not looked champion material so far. (And I’m a big fan)
Well the Boks might win this, but it’s 2 games in with mainly a ‘try out’ AB backlines & the odd fwd ‘experiment’ thrown in.
However, they did score a try bonus pts win v Argentina & they face a SA team with a novice midfield & a make shift back row… & the Saffas did lose last up.
So another team playing with two Open Sides. 3 perhaps, depending on ones view of Burger.
I didnt see the games last week but with Bismarck as well, they seem to be aiming to disrupt NZ’s quick ball. Wouldn’t have minded seeing this game had I been around at the weekend.
Try catch up TV. An hr’s viewing is still there.
I think playing two opensides against the AB’s is a mistake personally. The teams who have done well against the AB’s recently have played with all rounders on the flanks. Its more about effective decision making than raw fetching ability
Which teams were those then Leon?
Agree with you about decision making, but it’s also about getting to the breakdown in numbers (when approp). IOW, it’s both. That’s 1 area where Oz fell down last Sat.
