@ Bullscot:
Done, enjoy the prediction game, i lost my touch with it. Won a few in the beginning, but end in the bottom half since.

Welcome to Sydney to the Springboks and all attendant bokkies fans.

It has been marvellous to see the boys training at local venues and seeing John Smit interviewed on TV. The inclement weather would have curtailed activities for them this week, but I hope they have been able to enjoy some of Sydney’s delights while they have been in town.

Play well; stay injury-free; enjoy the match and have a safe return home.

@ Puma:
Howzit Puma, ground conditions look surprisingly good. Watching Mvovo warm up; my favourite bok to watch right now is Basson – man, can he play!!
PdV just interviewed. Love the intensity of this match; new boks mixed with older boks and the Wallas desperate for a positive result. This is going to be a good match.

@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:8 – OldG, It should be a good game. I am hoping. I too rate Basson but only one part of his game is his defence. He works on that he will be top class.

For all the rain the conditions look not bad at all.

Going now to watch the start.

Back in a moment.

Good to catch up mate.
