If they don’t take this opportunity to win, then I agree they never will……..good luck

Ha. I bit. You got me. I have to concede that.

I agree with you. I think we should win this. Still think we will screw it up somehow but we should be big enough to admit we are good enough to win so will suffer the brickbats if we lose.

Sorry mate. Just couldn’t resist. Was timing how long it would take Brighty to respond but annoyingly got called away by work.

Brighty – just winding you up. I do think they are stronger with Burger, Pietersen and Habana but it’s hardly a B team

Good chance for Wales though dependent on which SA team turns up. If they play the way they did against Ireland my money is on Wales. If they keep it tight and play to their strengths it’ll be close but they should edge it

Wales have their best chance of the autumn against what is almost a B team for the Boks

Lose this and Gatland will NOT enjoy the press conference

Very fair assessment I think. For some reason I’ve got it into my head that Wales are going to win this. The last game is traditionally where Wales have their best shot in the autumn, having played together the longest. Also in previous years Wales have by this stage been completely rolled over by at least one of the first three opponents, which hasn’t happened this year. And I don’t remember the last time Wales have played a SH side under this much pressure (admittedly mainly self-imposed by their ridiculously high standards). Just think the boys are going to do it. Wales by 8-13 for me.

“Something they (or any of the NH sides) have not managed this autumn or for some time”

Bit harsh on Ireland that!

“slick and accurate against the English”

Were we watching a different match, SA were terrible for most of the game, which made losing to them all the more sickening.

Wales should and I think will win this.
