Presumably you don't watch SA often as they've been pretty expansive this year with Mannie at 10.
They will however bring Pollard back in for knockout rugby and go back to their strengths. Plus they know how to win WCs after losing pool games.
Ireland are very good, I just get the feeling that this game has been their focus for years and they may take their eyes off NZ.

England won the WC with 14 grunts and a kicker, SA are trying to win it with nothing but grunts, and you can't do that. Really expected they'd beat us tonight, brutal, but we made it and haven't (hopefully) lost many players.
Still have nightmares of the decades of being pushed around by England when our scrum was basically John fucking Hayes. Standing square with this SA side makes the heart swell.
Plenty of time to get ready for Scotland, looks like we're solid to get out of the group.
