rugby: Going for the championship

Going for the championship

It's either the stupidest plan in the world or a very weak bluff. The Boks havent scored 4 tries vs the ABs in about 9yrs. They either try to grind NZ into submission by dominating setpieces (wont happen) and Steyn kicking 3 points after 3 points, which wont net them 4 tries....or they can try to play open rugby which turns their game to pie whenever against any serious opposition. Could be a great game in the making but end up ABs 50 Boks 30.

I havent seen anything from the Bulls in recent years to suggest they are close to capable of doing this in a tight game. We always get the same tripe rolled out after any game where the opposition had already folded and the Boks manage to run in a couple of tries but when the pressure is on their backplay skill drops below schoolboy level. Very much what we saw last Saturday.
