[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 591529, member: 57076"] huh....that still means NOTHING on my awesome "Real Top 10" thread... But yes however, it will definitely be cool to watch the Boks really compete in this one. They've shown some great ability in some of the past 5, 6 matches, so there are no excuses here. They MUST compete in this one, they just can't afford to lose by 20. And boy, NZ hasn't lost in a WHILE at home, ey ? I'd imagine SA to have an edge in the scrum. They may push hard in the rucks and the breakdown overall and the physicality and strength of their forwards may be another edge. And then their backs aren't too shabby either, but SA still isn't near NZ, not even close, in terms of creativity on attack. NZ still have a huge advantage there, and have a good enough defense to shut down SA the whole game not scoring more than 1 try. The turn-over ball will be huge for NZ, as it always is, but more so here as they are globally quicker than the Boks. The breakdown will be absolutely huge in this one, a very important and capital sector of the match I reckon, and McCaw will be dearly missed - not making excuses for NZ, just stating fact. [/QUOTE]
