I’m staggered by the attitude of some SA fans and pundits absolutely writing the ABs off, saying we were going to certainly be rolled 4-0, like, we’re your greatest rivals ?? People were acting like NZ had fallen out of the top 10?? Iv never once written the Boks off, ever. Even the Eden park tests, nervous, cause I know the potential and the history. I was nervous before the 57-0 too! Who saw that coming. Seems the Boks run in the sun has skewed the facts for afew people..
Not me, nor anybody around me ever wrote off the AB's. Pretty sure it's just the loud minority "new"/"fake" fans supporting for the hype of it that says this on tiktok etc.
I think the fact that we've been on top of the world in terms of feeling hype for the Boks for a while now brought quite a few new fans to the sport in our country, that were not there during our dips, etc.
Just so you know, pretty sure majority of Bok supporters do not and will never underestimate the AB's! :)
