@ Zambokke - have you read the comments on the thread related to the last SA Baa-Baas match? No-one crowed or was particularly complimentary about the England team. Especially the Englnad fans. We rued the score-line and the leaked tries. In fact it was a Saffa (if memory serves), who defended the performance, suggesting that that ground is always good for a try-fest. Not sure where you're getting your information from, but it ain't here sunshine!

We should win and I hope everyone gets a run out. And, JayStarr, I also hope we don't underestimate the Baa-Baas, as it could prove to be costly!

@Zambokke - country versus club games are often riddled with unpredictability - that's why the mid-week games are useful (for both sides) and entertaining in equal measure. I agree, shipping four tries isn't exactly fantastic form, but then the Boks came unstuck against Leicester Tigers a few years ago too!

This is basically Pumas versus England. To explain to the guys in the UK, this is basically the same as e.g Exeter plus a few guys from Bristol versus South Africa. Not sure what the pongos will learn from this? Good experience for the young Pumas. Not sure how England leaked 4 tries last week in a similar fixture or why they crowed about it - if SA leaked 4 tries against e.g Newcastle plus Leeds, we wouldn't be too chuffed.

I only know Demas - pretty good winger - but the rest are unknown to me.

However, it seems like this team is mainly made up of Pumas players - and unlike the Kings, they actually compete in the Currie Cup Premier Division with the big boys... and they have caused some major upsets. They are a very tough, physical team who also know how to move the ball, they never give up or go away, and if they are coached by their regular Pumas coach, England would make a mistake to take them lightly!

Should be an entertaining game!

it's made from provincial sides as far as I know...sort of the same as county sides in england. Still...the Pumas aren't half bad...I still expect at least a 40 point win margin against them.
