This one continues to tell the tale of how the Boks play.

Notice Sacha's touches versus Love's!

But Sacha makes more carries and wins everywhere aside from pass accuracy.

Sacha has about 350% more meters carried at only 60%'ish of the amount of touches.

Agreed but if it comes down to goal kicking it’s advantage NZ.

Start Sacha and Pollie of the bench.

You would think so, from a security point of view but Rassie has pushed Polly to 3rd choice

But for the first test it should definitely be Polly on the bench as it should be Wilco ahead of Porthen. I just have a feeling that Porthen is going to be on the bench which will be a risky call. He is a great player but not the dominant physical force that Wilco is

Sacha's stats are crazy though...he's at around 8.5m per carry.

He's the game breaker we've never had.
