As Jake White would say, "Well take the win"! I really think that if we keep ball in hand, keep attacking and not start defending as soon as we are ahead, we will whipe the floor with the poms.
I just hope I can watch the game, going to Bloem with friends to a lan.

Madsuppet posted this before the 1st Test against England :The world champions vs the Mighty Springboks: head to head
The world champions vs the Mighty Springboks: head to head
head to head with a difference this week. A study of who will be the most incompetent on Saturday. It looks like it might be a tight struggle out there, with these two teams.
15 Josh Lewsey vs Francois Steyn
Josh has some large incompetent shoes to fill in the void that is Balshaw. He will look to continuing his form from last week where he showed some quality chip kicks into the oppositions backline. Francois had three good runs against Ireland while playing out of position. Jake believes in continuity, so he's decided to play him out of position again.
Adv Keo
14 Mark Cueto vs Bryan Habana
Mark has had a long rest and been able to watch the comedy from the sidelines. He'll be keen to show that he too can screw-up. Bryan is back on the wing, but still lacks form.
Adv Stephen Jones
13 Matthew Tait vs Wynand Olivier
Tait will always be remembered as the man who made Gavin Henson look good. He's a quality rugby player and might struggle to fit into this England side. Wynand lacks pace, power and flair. Otherwise, he's a solid centre.
Adv Keo
12 Jamie Noon vs Jean de Villiers
Noon has had a few good runs over the last two matches, so it makes sense to move him out of his favoured position. Jean is a great playmaker, so it makes sense that he's given the role of the basher in the midfield.
Adv Stephen Jones
11 Ben Cohen vs Akona Ndungane
Ben has been England's best backline player over the AI's, so it made sense to drop him, but now he's back and will be hoping to screw-up to fit into Andy Robinson's master plan. Akona has been so poor for the Boks that Andy Robinson has been looking into his twin brother's English ancestory.
Adv Keo
10 Charlie Hodgson vs Butch James
After last week's performance, the Twickenham crowd have nicknamed him the "Boot", with a silent "T". Butch James has been given orders by Jake White to get a red card in the first 10 minutes of the match.
Adv comedy
9 Peter Richards vs Enrico Januarie
Peter can't pass and is slow to pass, but he's fast, which is important obviously. Enrico is slow to pass but he looks cuddly, which is important obviously.
Adv Keo
8 Martin Corry vs Jacques Cronjé
Martin's lack of form, poor option taking and lack of leadership seems to be good reason to keep him going. Jacques is the best number eight in South Africa, if the other five top number eights died... and remained dead.
Adv Stephen Jones
7 Pat Sanderson vs Pierre Spies
Pat has finally been given the opensider role, after having his confidence torn apart over the last two matches. Pierre is a quality runner in open play and will therefore be given instruction to keep it tight and bash it up.
Adv Keo
6 Joe Worsley vs Danie Rossouw
Newspapers have reported that Joe is angry. The man obviously lacks a sense of humour. Danie showed last week that he lacks the skills to be a flanker, therefore he continues in that role.
Adv Keo
5 Ben Kay vs Johann Muller
Ben and Johann's skills in the loose can be compared to a beautiful poem written about the scent of rain on a cloudless summer day.
even
4 Tom Palmer vs Johan Ackermann
Tom comes into the side to replace Danny who spent large amounts of time on the wing. Tom will want to prove that he too can stand on the wing and do nothing else. Johan's zimmer-frame will give him an advantage in the line-out.
even
3 Julian White vs CJ van der Linde
Julian has been out of form, but will hoping continue his new role as first receiver from quick ruck ball. CJ's most impressive moment from last week was kicking a ball 20 meters while on his own touchline. Two frustrated number 10s obviously.
Adv butterflies
2 George Chuter vs John Smit
George and John will be attempting to pick out the opposition's locks come line-out time and both will continue to show how to not make yards in the loose.
Adv Stephen Jones
1 Andrew Sheridan vs BJ Botha
There's been a lot of talk about Hayman tearing Andrew a new ******* three weeks ago, but this week he's up against BJ. It sounds like a low budget porn.
Adv Keo
I'm not sure who the other two teams are in their rugby world cup pool, but both coaches seem to be determined to be trying to be the underdog for their pool. A clever tactic, if their respective unions keep faith with them, leading up to the RWC.

RWC champions vs bushbucks: head to head - part 2 Thu, 23 November 2006 13:33
15 Josh Lewsey vs Frans Steyn
Josh's tackle on De Villiers last week has been nominated for a nobel peace prize. It was so good, the sporting society deemed it not worthy for any other awards. Frans has a 50% drop kicking record. That's all he can do.
Adv England
14 Mark Cueto vs Bryan Habana
Last week, Mark burst back into the international scene with a brilliant solo effort try. Bryan is only in the team to give seasoned veterans like Paulse and Ashwin Willemse a rest.
Adv England
13 Mathew Tait vs Wynand Olivier
Matthew had an explosive game last week. On countless occassions he wasn't driven back 20 meters in the tackle. Wynand's shampoo endorsements are paying off, because he's worth it.
Adv England
12 Jamie Noon vs Jean de Villiers
Jamie's move into the number 12 jumper has been a great success. Every game he's played in that position, England have won. Jake had a sit down with Jean this week and tried to explain to him that having a black man on his inside, doesn't make him gay.
Adv England
11 Ben Cohen vs Akona Ndungane
Ben's kicking was below par last week, but his **** is apparently much bigger than Dan Carter's. Akona was denied thirty-four tries last week, due to Luke Watson.
Adv England
10 Andy Goode vs Andre Pretorius
Andy changed England's fortunes last week by coming onto the field and reminding the forwards, "You're forgetting, they're crap." Andre changed South Africa's fortunes last week by coming onto the field and reminding the forwards, "You're forgetting, we're crap."
Adv England
9 Peter Richards vs Ricky Januarie
Peter's passing game is like a javellin competition. There's a long run-up and the chances are relatively high, that somebody will get killed. Ricky's breaking from the ruck sets him apart from other scrumhalves. He hasn't broken from a ruck since 2004.
Adv England
8 Martin Corry vs Danie Rossouw
Martin took England back to basics last week. 10 man rugby was played. There are rumours that England would do better without the 5 girls in their team. Danie drew the short straw for SA's 8th man position this week. His family have already sent flowers to the rehab clinic.
Adv England
7 Pat Sanderson vs Kabamba Floors
Pat is apparently too small to make it as an international loose forward. Kabamba might struggle to get to the breakdown with the stilletoes Jake White has forced him to wear for this match.
Adv England
6 Joe Worsley vs Juan Smith
Joe had a relatively quiet game last week. Juan was one of the best forwards on display last week.
Adv Boks
5 Chris Jones vs Johann Muller
Chris finally gets a start after knocking on the door since the Australian tour. Johann continues to show just how good Matfield is.
Adv England
4 Tom Palmer vs Johan Ackerman
Tom had an easy ride last week. Johan's catching from the kick-offs and line-outs last week were so poor that Jake White has banned him from watching any more All Black matches.
Adv England
3 Julian White vs CJ van der Linde
Julian and CJ are probably the girliest names to ever play at international level. Those ** ** ** have a point to prove this week.
Adv England
2 Lee Mears vs John Smit
Lee remembers playing against John at under 21 level. When John was asked if remembered Lee, he replied, "Luke Watson is too short to play international rugby."
even
1 Phil Vickery vs BJ Botha
Phil had a big impact when he came onto the field last week. His new motto of "Keep things simple", is a clear indication that the RFU will be extending Andy Robinson's contract. BJ is also a great name for a prop.
Adv England
England - 13
Boks - 1

With the Lions tour to South Africa just around the corner, it's a scary thought to think that peanuts on bar counters contain many germs.

Lets just say the outcome of the match doesn't matter at all. This thing about SA Rugby flying Jake White back for a meeting in Cape Town seems to confirm the fact that he won't be with us for long...
It's sad actually, in 2004, he was named IRB coach of the year, but he hasn't done anything good for SA Rugby since then....
The hard truth - politics is screwing up all sport in SA
I would say though, that if we don't win on Saturday, you will only be able to describe the Springboks as pathetic...
