Spring Vs AB - Saturday is the series decider

So before you all jump out of your skins, I know it is a 4 match series.

Can we honestly call it a 4 test series when only 3 games are played in SA.

Saturday is a must win for us because if we don't, then technically the ABs have won 2 out of 3 games on SA soil and would then take home the advantage.

Despite our win on Saturday, the many moans about the reff, we did take our chances but our defence nearly let us down.

What can we do if don't have our scrum dominance?

I for one hope the curse of the calabash doesn't strike again.

Stemsaam ... many down in ME are saying its a 3 test series in SA, Baltimore's about the money.
Nevertheless if we lose I'll get tweegesig & include Baltimore .

That Baltimore thing grinds my nuts. There hasn't been much in it so far. Boks dominated the first 55 minutes of the first test before overdoing the scrumming for penalties nonsense. Had we used just one of those scrums to score a try we would likely have won, the ABs were under enormous pressure. Second test likewise until we started kicking too much, which allowed them back in and we were probably 3- 5 minutes away from a draw at the end. ABs had our defense well beaten numerous times. Both teams will make adjustments, it's a good old tactical arm wrestle. Should be a great third test.

Calabesh to Baltimore, two shit holes if you ask me.

Don't understand why they play a game over there. The last time the boks went states side we lost against Wales.

I think Rassie will throw that game. Not to mention, two weeks later they are popping up in Australia. What are they thinking?

It made sense when the AB played against Ireland in Boston and having so many Irish expats and descendants from Irish immigrants living there, but does SA have any expat community in the US.

My uncle had 3 tickets to watch the game but after the first game he just put it back up for resale and I was going to join him for that final game.

Don't think it is worth all of this cash to support the boks when you don't know what Rassie will produce.

Last time I got really luck back in 2023 when we played them at Twickenham and he actually selected the right team.

We had Manie, AE, Moodie, Arendse in the midfield and it was an incredible game. Yet, now we are stuck with the two old mild field tractors and a coach that just wants to scrum but on evidence the refs have been instructed not to be so quick on penalties when it comes to scrum time.

So wonder how Rassie will plan Saturday.

I don't think these ABs are that strong, vey inexperienced and young team compared to the boks.

We know have Kolisi, Eben, Du Toit and Dud all on a 100 caps and we also have the oldest test player of nearly 40 in the team.

I'm expecting a proper snotklap.
