[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 326537, member: 42683"] Let me be clear that my predicition is based on my heart, not my head ;) In fact it could be a lot closer than 23-31. It could even be a win for the All Blacks. Just because we beat them 3 times last year in the Tri-Nations, doesn't mean we will do it again this year (Although I freakin hope so haha). The strength of the Springboks will be with the superb kicking of Morne Steyn. It's a shame we don't have Francois Steyn in the squad for some 50 or 60 metre penalties but no worries from the SA side. Du Preez can't play but we have Ricky Januarie for that. Also the injury of Bismarck du Plessis is a loss the squad of the Springboks can handle. I expect a lot from Gio Aplon. He is on the top of his form and in the tests against France and Wales he was one of the biggest surprises for me. The line-outs are a piece of cake. Not worried about that. The scrums however, can be a slight problem. I think it's very likely the game will be decided on e dropgoal or penalty kick. I hope Ruan Pienaar and Ryan Kankowski will get a chance against the All Blacks to show everybody what they can do. [/QUOTE]
