What fans say
After the All Blacks legend Carlos Spencer said the Springboks are the favourites, some fans had to share their opinions.
@Lungi “This All Black team is positioning to annihilate the Boks. Right now, they understand the pressure that is on them no to lose at Eden Park. They are using all their resources to transfer that pressure and restore their fans’ confidence. They have been on this strategy for a while. Listen to Scott Robertson talk about Rassie. They are in a similar position the Boks were in when Rassie took over in 2018. They are more dangerous now than they have EVER been. I hope the Boks and Rassie are well aware of this fact.”
@Louis Fourie “Lets rather focus first on getting allot better than how we played recently”
@BiltongRing “Boks must be prepared for ABs who’ll be absolutely rabid to not be the team to lose the 30 year Eden park streak. It will be World Cup final levels of grit from them. Side note: I’ll be there!
