You haven't seen the weather reports, have you?
Asking a Zimbo Guppy to go out in that? The poor bugger would be in the corner of the dressing room, weeping in shock. And let me be frank, I wouldn't bloody blame him. Forecasts of it getting down to minus 12 C tonight.

We played the while tour with one prop on the bench in the same weather. Why now two?

mate, the weather is not the same as it has been in the last few weeks! Its fricking cold (about 10 degrees C at least colder than it has been) and snow everywhere.

Blue, remember the Ireland-Bok game in Croke Park in 2009?
Well, it's about eight degrees colder. With snow.

Its not like the Walla-Blacks... I mean Baa Baas are going to be more used to the weather.
All I can say is the bloody Bokke better pull their finger out and win the game by 10 points, cause that's what I have in the lottery that is SuperBru tipping for the Autumn Series.
Looks like it will be a dour old day, possibly characterised by plenty of "up the guts" grunt from the forwards, with the backs dressed up like mummies in their gloves and skins.
On the other hand we may end up with the weather clearing like Paris last week and a magnificant spectacle being held.

No one else is concerned by the Barbarians pack? It's full of people that can barely make their provincial and national teams. I reckon they'll get steam rolled by the Boks, the backs are great but will get terrible ball. Looking to make some big money on South Africa twice in a row.
To be fair to the barbars, professional rugby and the law interpretations haven't helped in recent years. Watching a BarBar team with no chance of winning makes it just pop-corn

Can anyone tell me why the Bokke are listed at $4 to win and the BaaBaas at $1.25?

Now my final superbru tip is all confused...

Those odds seem about right to me. The Baa Baas have a champion back division and good-enough, mobile pack. That's par for the Barbarians course. The Springboks are very much a B team, and the Barbarians have a great recent record against B teams. The weather in London, according to the Met Office, is cold and clear. If it holds then I expect the Barbarians to win in a canter, and maybe put on a score.

No chance of winning? Gagger, I think you underrate the Barbarians. This year they lost to England 35-26 at Twickenham and beat Ireland 29-23 at Limerick. Last year they lost by just 25-18 to New Zealand at Twickenham. The last time they played the Saffas they won 22-5. Those results would not shame a first-tier international team.
I think you're right Groucho. The only way I can see my superbru tip of Saffers by 10 being right is if the Twickers sky opens up and throws down buckets loads of liquid sunshine. Tip was made too early before I had full knowledge of weather conditions and team lists.
