I didn't like the All Black side against Australia. They've got a lot of new players and are having to replace (as much as I hate the guy), one of the best players in the world, Dan Carter, at flyhalf (like point guard). Donald, his replacement was ok, but not brilliant. Richie McCaw, the AB captain and currently their best player (kind of like a really active outside linebacker) was outplayed, in my estimation, by his much less heralded opposite number for Australia.
They're out of sorts having lost to France and barely beating OZ. It will be hard-hitting, but I think the Boks take it handily as long as they take the match seriously.
Note - Steve, I do question the Boks' replacement of Steyn at flyhalf. He played really well against the Lions, but is back on the bench.
