Rugby Championship 2018

SA should win this weekend and keep the winning momentum going :woohoo:
Argentina will hopefully cause another upset and beat the All Blacks :woohoo: , but look a decent bet on handicap

Imo, Aus and Arg on handicap is the way to go....

South Africa v New Zealand, Rugby Championship Preview www.africanbettingclan.com/latest-news/i...championship-preview

SA =11.5 vs All Blacks - our record on this ground is not great but we should beat the handicap , Go Bokke Go :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Argentina - 1.5 vs Aus - Australia have there backs to the wall and surely cannot lose another game - Aus on handicap on pure desperation more than skill

Heartbreaking... Unlucky Bokke

Erasmus stuffed up. Took off our 3 best players when he thought we were home and dry. Disrupted our whole team balance that had played so well.

We not yet ready to consistently defeat the All Blacks just like in 2006 (or 2007?) just before World Cup when Kevin Mealamu scored a late try to beat us in New Zealand...a win that would have made us take over number ranking going into World Cup...

With the right development of the core of this team, we will be ready to beat the All Blacks at the next World Cup (likely in the final)...

Just not our time today...but the World Cup will be...

Open to correction, however is the draw for next year's World Cup structured such, if both countries top their respective groups and go as far as the semi-finals, they will meet each other at that stage - semi finals?

Seem to think when the draws were made, SA were not ranked in the top two or three, and as such would fall into the New Zealand half of the draw going into the latter stages.

@ Bayern ,Boks are in the same pool as the AB's. With the top two of each group going through should both the Boks and AB's progress through the knockout stages they would only play each other again in the final, the same transpired in the 2007 WC where England and the Boks were in the same group and then met in the final.
