[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1097239, member: 65365"] On paper it's hard to say we stand a chance. We have a couple of players who can provide individual moments so there's always that, but otherwise. Yes we won a game last year but it was their first games without rassie, some of their players hadn't had a lot of rugby for almost two years because of COVID, apart from the lions series which was a slugfest, they had already spent a long time in a bubble, it's hard to get up after a lions tour, etc. On the plus side we had much harder opposition in preparation for this series. On the downside we'll be under masses of pressure which really doesn't suit the game plan we'll need to beat South Africa (we won't beat them by playing conservatively) [/QUOTE]
