Masive respect for the Boks. Has been since our first encounter. There is no bigger challenge in World Rugby. Hope to play on dry ground. Love from NZ.

[jacostrauss]

JK just hates paying the Bols any compliment. As a Bok supporter, the ABs are always the biggest challenge. They always have at least a 50/50 shot to beat anybody. No SA supporter will ever write off an AB team.

[johnnod]

Rassie never said that the side he's putting out against the Aussies is a B side. Mils is the only one on this panel who actually gives level-headed, calculated comments.

[graeme]

All Blacks is a quality team. Not as dominant as in the past, but still a quality side. As a Bok, this is still my favorite fixture on the rugby calendar

[heathcharsley]

Anyones game lovely to watch because it always is a pinnacle.Sure the whole world will be watching from all four corners.🇿🇦🇿🇦👍😊

[alistairclifton]

JK "I reckon Rassie put it out in the media that is was the B Team", actually in a press conference, Rassie categorically stated the opposite...JK is just a dick.

[WHeavy]

Kirstie and Mills deserve to be canonized as saints for dealing with these two walking head injuries week to week.

[ORYXGREEN]

As a Bok supporter, AB is our biggest rival still. Ireland has come to the party and become the other beast. But AB remains our biggest rival. It will always be unless the AB can't get their MOJO back. In that case Ireland will be the new greatest rival for us. Either way it's an honor to be part of this Springbok era. It always will.

[BoomsRiddico]

As an Irish fan I look forward to this! We are always trying to catch these great two teams with bags of great players

[kevinlindsay]

As a English supporter, watching these two big beast going at each other will be awesome. SA must start favourites, they look physically strong up front and use that rolling maul to such devastating effect but they also have clinical backs that can finish from anywhere on the park. NZ need to be at 110% to beat SA on home turf but if they can get behind this SA defensive line they stand a chance. Set piece will be crucial for NZ they must hold the scrum and win their lineouts. The ruck will be the deciding factor as SA give a lot of penalties away in this area NZ could use this factor to help pin SA back in their own half. Can't wait to watch the Game good luck to both sides.

[dereckwainwright]

New Zealand will be in the Boks faces. This promises to be a fantastic game of rugby. Game on!

[HowstheMoraahle]

I’m not South African or a kiwi. Completely neutral here. NZ are going to get walked in my opinion. Boks as strong as ever, rush defense, every player makes their 1-1 tackle and hit like a truck. NZ won’t find space in broken play when they have fantastic defense

[joevil]

I've never seen this much depth in SA rugby than in the last couple of years. They are incredible. Having said that the Irish are pretty formidable too. In fact, they are very good. That is the beauty of rugby. Like a wheel. One day you are up and the next day down. As a Springbok supporter, I always hold my breath when playing against the AB. You'll be bloody stupid if you don't.

[swm]

As A South African, I Love The AB's vs Boks. It's An Even Better Well Poised Contested Championship. The AB's Got To Bring Their (A-Game).
❤❤❤

[LittleBigMediaCo]

What's funny is that Klown Kirwan thinks he has South African friends ...

[Rundu]

AB's were next level in the wet weather. Well done boys. Hoping for 2 dry games here in South Africa😅

[nickrad]

Tight five is absolutely crucial. Scott Barrett and hopefully Tuipulotu returning with Tamaiti Williams starting may give the All Blacks parity physically which will make an epic game.

[groenrizla]

From a Bok supporter point of view, we are never favourites against the ABs and history proves this. As Naas Botha always said, the only thing that matters is what happens in the 80 minutes of the game. All bets, rankings and predictions are off between the 2 when the whistle goes, and it doesn't even matter if it's a home ground advantage or not for the Boks as NZ has the best record in SA.
Like the saying goes, a good team can win consecutive games but a great team can come back from a big loss and that definately sums up the ABs.
Will it be any different under Razor we just don't know yet but experiments are now over, the Boks will put their strongest squad together to face NZ, huge rivalvry and that's not going to change any time soon, the ABs are the Boks biggest rivals.

[insiderugbywithmark]

Kia Ora from Mexico. A friendly reminder, the ALL BLACKS have won the last 4 out of the last 5 encounters with the Boks in Johannesburg. The game the Boks won in 2014 was by a margin of 2 pts. As the great man Nelson Mandela once said ¨ A winner is a dreamer who never gives up ¨

[KJTmethod]

Bok supporter here and always excited for Boks v ABs, always great to chat to Kiwis about our beautiful game as we will always respect each other 👌🇿🇦🇳🇿
