(I'm really not sure, anyway, how much of a factor playing at altitude really is) Look, I reckon, after due consideration, I'd give the Boks 7 points start.

This is the Aus/RSA match this Sat right?
I would've given the Wallys a half-dozen points or so ... The Boks were beaten fairly convincingly by both NZ and Aus so I would have thought both teams would still start as favourites against them, even in SA?
