Being a Bok supporter i must go with you thought on the score but it sadden me to think that Jake are going the same way as the coaches before him by not picking the player which are on form. So i go with 33-14 for NZ

I'm a huge All Blacks fan, but I saw the last games
I think 21-17 .....All Blacks win a close one
Reasons
1. AB's rotation of the squad
2. South Africa playing strong just lacking discipline (penalties) and making big mistakes (like missing a lot of kicks)
3. Location always plays a big part in a game
4. SA's in trouble in the media and if they cannot win soon will be looking at very large changes not the least of which being a change of coaches
5. SA has nothing to loose (neither does the AB's except they are 3 games away from the record for most AB wins in a row which is 17 set in the 1960s)

I think it'll be a very close game. As an ardent AB supporter, it would be difficult to say which team has the more solid advantage. The boks have the home field advantage at altitude. The ABs have Dan Carter and Richie McCaw, the haka, and momentum behind them. However, out of all the teams the ABs have consistantly beaten, the boks have been the toughest (AB winning percentage against SA is around 54%). The deciding factor will definitely be discipline, if the Boks can maintain discipline with their famed "Rush Defence" and keep the pentalties down, they definitely have against against the All Black B squad

The AB's are the best team in the world. We have the best players in every position. With Dan Carter running the show and Lukey McAlister outside him the Boks don't have a hope in hell. I only say that because no matter what team the AB's have put on the paddock no team has got anywhere near as close as they've wanted to. With a back row of Richie McCaw, Chris Masoe and Reuban Thorne the Boks will have to fight for their lives and with the bench quality forget a Bok win. 40 - 21 AB's.

27 - 19 to the All blacks. Despite the home crowd advatnage for the Boks, the Kiwi's are in top form and no doubt pumped after coming away from a sweep against the Aussies.

home game might swing in boks favour,i think kiwis will target bok scrums and high balls on montgomery.accuracy at the poles will be deciding factor.
