    Ha I reached the limit at Telegraph. Have been visiting it every day since the tournament started.

    Did you guys see all the media sites with:
    1. The top players of the pool stages. What a load of tripe! Lood de Jager doesn't feature in any of them. In fact South Africa is completely absent, except for Bismarck in one of them and Kriel in another. I'm not sure that these people watched any games. Plus if you look at the stats South Africans are leading or part of the leaders in almost all the stats. De Allende has the most defenders beaten. Habana the most clean breaks and joint leader in tries scored. De Jager is one of the top defenders. Burger one of the most carries. And so forth.

    2. The favourites for the tournament. South Africa is completely ignored on the multiple sites that I visited. In fact a lot of sites feel that Wales will beat South Africa. South Africa didn't have a great year but they seem to forget that we lost the games against the All Blacks and Australia in the final moments of the game and back then we were still trying to play with people like Oupa. That yes we lost to Argentina but then destroyed them in their own backyard.

    I've got a feeling the Bokke may just do it. It's going to be a tough road but go Bokke!

    Good, let them underestimate the Boks. Let them think they can easily come and beat us. It's good motivation for a team to be treated like the underdogs, because they have something to prove on the day, and they end up playing even better. They'll be singing a different tune next week this time

    Well if we can beat NZ in the semi if france doesn't upset them then we can win this WC i'm sure of it but i would like if the aussies and nz can both loose cos not only does Aus have a deadly back-line now they have pck that can scrum all of a sudden too

    I have no real complaints other than Fourie Du Preez, but it still beats having Ruan Pienaar in the starting lineup

    That's probably the current best team we can pick for the RWC. I'm glad both Lood and Eben is back as the lock pair. Should be a strong enough team to beat the Welsh senseless.

    Yeah, I agree 100% there. Also glad to see Malherbe starting in Du Plessis's place, it's the way round it should be, IMO.

    i would have liked to see Bismarck come off the bench as well... but thats just cause i dont want the du plessis bros to give away any penalties unnecessarily.

    i honestly dont think Wales will be able to beat us on saturday, they never looked like they were going to score against the aussies even with them only having 13 players on the field.
