    I believe this is a warm-up match for the Boks before the WC. They play on the 21st August, KO 19:30

    South Africa aren't even playing their A team in the 3N what kind of team do you think they are going to send to play Connacht?

    You obviously have never taken to the 4 day weekend idea, you should. Its good for you!

    No more than an opposed training run. They also play Namibia in a warm up. But must be good for local fans and presumably the local club gets the gate takings.

    I predict Connacht to shade it by 4 points:rolleyes:

    Nice attitude lads.

    Any idea on where/how to get tickets for this match? I'm down the west around this time anyway so it would be perfect.

    They were on sale at the Sportsground itself, on TicketMaster or if you've bought a season ticket.

    I'm not too sure what the availability is like now.

    It's a good move by Jake White. Obviously it's a trial match or preparation match for players who wants 15 - 30 in his squad. He wants them to play against a team who may not have as much skill but will have heart and be organised which is what his 2nd string will face in the WC.

    That's a bizzare choice of game or SA...any of the other 3 could have posed some kind of resistance, but this is a poor ML team! I just hope, somehow, this wont be a 50+ point winning margin...Connacht confidence can't be great as it is!!
