    Juan Smith will captain against the Baa Baas. Vic rib injury and JdV groin injury. Both coming home also on their way home is Spies, Morne and Stegmann. Ruan and Frans Steyn go back to their clubs.

    @ superBul:13 – Super, It is only a Baa Baas game, not worth much these days. When I was growing up a Baa Baas game was actually a BIL team put together but called the Baa Baas at home in the UK. Now a days it is a mixture of all countries. So I for one never take it that serious at all. So we can experiment. Don’t care what the out come is. But if it was a team put together from only Britain and Ireland that would be a different story all together.

    Long penalty by Sexton , IRE 22-6

    The greatest Baa Baas game of all time was 1973 against the All Blacks. BRILLIANT game. Could watch it over and over to this day. Now that was a Baa Baas team. All were from up there. None of this from every country that plays rugby. Just not the same anymore.

    Contepomi found his kicking boots at half time , he slots his 3rd penalty

    @ grootblousmile:23 – Super, WE gonna get a huge klap I think. Who from AB’s and Wallabies?

  • 26

    Hierdie game is maar goor hulle kon hom maar op n Dinsdag aand gespeel het dit is n bol stront

  • 27

    @ Puma:
    with 12 Sharks there we can play the CC champion team against them

  • 28

    @ superBul:27 – Not being funny, but we should cause at least those players know each other’s game well. But that wont be enough Super, with a combined AB and Wallabie team we wont win. Not going to take it serious, just like to see how some can cope by starting a game, but of course with out some of our top seniors that wont help them a lot. So really wont take that game serious at all.

    Okay out of here now. Cheers Super and Gbs.

    Well done to Ireland.
