Surprised to see the omission of Taukei'aho.

I hope Mckenzie is there to replace Barrett.
Same. Bench at least offers some impact as well as experience and leadership.

Thank fudge Roigard is there instead of Christie. I'll call off the hit squad.

Re: Quarter Final Predictions

For SA to have any chance of doing all the above, Pollard will have to play good against Tonga and the breakdown with Marx's injury will have to be repaired with a possible Duanne Vermeulen start.

Not sure what game you watched but NZ lost the forward battle. You have to play defensive when you can't back your forwards recycling the ball.

I recall in 2011 when France and NZ were in the same pool, many pundits thought France had no chance of beating NZ twice in a row in one tournament away from home, so they wouldn't waste their time trying to do it in the pool match.
