The boks game needs to be a good display, we have seen what others have done, if we lose, I think we are heading for the wooden spoon.
The fact I am down the pub with friends means a loss will be expensive.
To say we have to beat SA is a big call. Regardless of recent form - to beat them is a huge scalp and needs to be considered so The fact I am down the pub with friends means a loss will be expensive.

Disagree, I think, with 14 they have been very, very good.
They are a massive force, and hard as it is to day as a Welshman, they will romp the 6 nations and put 30+ on all the teams, bar perhaps Ireland.
Argentina have been poor, very, bad decisions, kept it too tight when should have gone wide. The yellow cards ruined the game, as they always do.
How Haskell got a job as a pundit in his silly tight suits and pointy shoes beggars belief.
Don't count on that. They are a massive force, and hard as it is to day as a Welshman, they will romp the 6 nations and put 30+ on all the teams, bar perhaps Ireland.

Scotland have been playing very well recently which is pleaseing to see as no one likes going into a game knowing it's an easy win instead it will be a test.
Wales - with Howley as head coach it's the issue. He is an ok IC2 but he simply doesn't get the step up not his fault it's simply beyond his abilities.
French always going to be fun
England good to see finally they have some form
Italy hmm too small a Rugby nation to have any impact
king yea 3 wins v SA in all history's let's get fbasherX said:

So new rankings today.
Wales will leapfrog South Africa and this will be the first time since rankings came into play that South Africa are 7th in the world. Yes 7th!!! Really the performance they put in on Sat was far lower than that.
Brian Moore described that side on Saturday as, "the worst South African team I've ever seen" (or words to that effect. My SA mates at work are beyond depressed about it.Wales will leapfrog South Africa and this will be the first time since rankings came into play that South Africa are 7th in the world. Yes 7th!!! Really the performance they put in on Sat was far lower than that.
Wales didn't play that well - but as time passes Wales physically have 3 wins against the mighty SA.

Got two tickets for Saturdays game - taking my 11 year old rugby playing lad for his first time at Twickenham.
Can't bloody wait.

The club I coach at also have a few tickets floating around.

The World Cup rather ruined it for me. Before then, I'd go at least once or twice a year for England internationals, and I don't remember ever paying more than £60 for a ticket for any match. The 2012 NZ game cost me £54.
Then they slammed all the prices up for the RWC, and they never dropped back down anything like to where they'd previously been afterwards. Even Italy in the 6 Nations is, iirc, £67 upwards on the club ballot, and I'm sure that always used to be priced cheap specifically to encourage families along?
Taking our family of 4 to Twickers is now sillyThen they slammed all the prices up for the RWC, and they never dropped back down anything like to where they'd previously been afterwards.

Train £20 each so £80
Taxi to the station £20 return
Tickets £65 each min £260
Burgers chips for 4 easily £35
Drinks let's say £100 all up (family drinking quantity else heaps more)
So £495.
Expensive.
Oh no doubt new replica tops so make that another £200.
And travel door to door probably 2hrs each way
Or club 800yards away.... hmm
I hope. London424 said:
Was a really mature performance from the team and especially when you consider that a few of their best players weren't even playing.
There is so much strength and depth to the squad now in almost every position.
Frankly England have always and should always have that given the player base and it's multiples of any other nation. There is so much strength and depth to the squad now in almost every position.
