Anyway, it’ll be tough for the ABs in SA as always, but in theory the ABs should be too strong v a SA with injuries affecting the latter’s midfield, 2nd & back rows.

However, Hansen must be confident if he’s giving guys like Sopoaga & Broadhurst a run out over there. Also, though, what better prep for these 2 as there’s no sub for game time, esp in Johannesburg.

Don’t think SA will kick so much ball aimless ball away v NZ as they did against Oz. They need to keep possession & use it effectively, because the ABs will likely do so.

ABs need to defend the maul better though.

A bit of a mug’s game predicting a result, not to mention a scoreline, but can’t disagree with the author’s opinion. We’ll see though.

Will Oz let another game slip v Argentina? Prob not, although they’ll need to win more breakdown ball, not kick it away & ran @ them in 2’s or 3’s rather than 1 up runners as v SA. They’ll also need to watch their ‘D’ & not fall off tackles as they did with Kriell last week.

Argentina seem to have improved their back play with quicker & slicker handling, but it was still ineffective v an AB blanket which suffocated them last Sat. They will likely do well @ set piece & will no doubt roll their maul around the Oz flank when they get a sniff of the latter’s tryline, so Oz better not give away penalties.

Oz by 5-7? Maybe.
