Re: All Blacks vs Springboks: MATCH THREAD: Wellington 27th

as we face each other first in the world cup pool games, with the loser likely to face Ireland in the 1/4s (should both teams not do a england), then the psychological advantage from this game is huge..

I think we'll see close to both teams best sides start this weekend just for that factor alone..
