    318: dink dit is waar HM se fout ingekom het, as hy 5 jaar gelede die bokafrigter geword het, was ons nou die WB kampioene met die manne wat hy deur die ranks gebring het vir sy spelstyl. Maar tye het baie verander, hy moes nie ja gese het vir die tweede kans nie. Sien swarigheid vir hom. Het medelye met hom, groot voorreg om Bok afrigter te wees, maar sy kans was 5 jaar terug, nie in vandag se rugby nie.

    Howzit Super,

    Yip under Peter we played better ou maat. Hope we can sort it out next year. Well actually hope we sort it out in Britain otherwise we will lose to, Ireland and England no doubt.

    Okay I am out of here.

    Go Sharks for later.

  • 333

    Well… that’s it then….

    Oi vei… at least my Bru pick was right…

  • 334

    …. en die AB het nie eers gesweet nie ?

    beste span ooit in die geskiedenis ?

  • 335

    @ Puma:
    I don’t agree that the Boks were poor. They gave their all but there is a clear gulf between the 2 teams.

  • 336

    4 Great tries done with precision, one must salute them, ABs are the best, by far.

  • 337

    Well done New Zealand.

  • 338

    ek dink die janjies myth is te ruste gele bokke het plat geval toe goosen af is en het heeltemal in hulle doppe gekruip.ps ruan die allblacks kan skop en jaag skoppe vang hoor en hulle skop dit beter as jy ook,en druk n slag jou flokken hande in die losskrum en haal die bal uit dis jou werk….

  • 339

    Feels like we took a giant step back to the “Straeuli” era. Jeez hope not, can’t see our Boks fall for another 3 years like we did under him. We have far too much talent here. Bring in some help Meyer. John Mitchell and Mallett just sitting in the studio, get them in to help damn it man.

    Okay now going to watch my Sharks. Hope I am not disappointed there as well. At least will see better rugby no doubt about it.

    Cheers all.

    So, where to now?

    Bokke back to the Currie Cup… staying in shape for the End Of Year Tour.

    Was a hard Southern Hemisphere season, lots to learn.

  • 341

    die ergste is dat ek nou die papsak bende moet gaan face

  • 342

    The Bok players individually had good games on the whole. The difference is that the ABs play as a unit, a awesome professional machine that punishes ant error and makes almost none of their own.

  • 343

    Fire eers daai stupid flippen Kaptein hy is te dof vir die job

  • 344

    anyway oor na die hoofgame

  • 345

    Maybe some old Bokke need not be taken on the End Of Year Tour….

    Jean de Villiers the prime example

  • 346

    341: wie is hulle ?

  • 347

    Well done All Blacks. Just far, far too good for our Bokke. Sad to say that but they are. We have taken a huge step backwards.

    Now out of here.

  • 348

    Goed manne, kom ons begin met die post mortem van die Bokke se 2012 seisoen tot dusver. Doen ons dit hier of op die volgende game se draad ?

  • 349

    Remember that these ABs have never looked troubled in any of their matches. Sometimes they didn’t click but they have NEVER looked like losing in the last 20mins. They always seem to be able to go up another gear whenever they need to.

    @ bdb:
    Jy weet mos jerome shaniqua brendan daai klomp man sonder die voortanne

  • 351

    @ bdb:
    ek weet jy gaan nie PC wees met HM nie, so doen dit hier , ek dink hy is buite sy league

  • 352

    Wat Read in sy kop eintlik sê: “wat het van die magtige bokke van die verlede geword ?

  • 353

    351: wat is PC ?

  • 354

    Goosen sparks the Springbok backline more than Jantjies, but Jantjies kicks better to posts under pressure, it seems.

    Goose still undercooked as far as BMT is concerned.

    Our scrums went well, our lineouts went well…. our forwards dominted early and eventually had parity.

    Nothing happening from Ruan Pienaar onwards….

    Our defense is super shit

  • 355

    @ bdb:
    Politically correct

  • 356

    We played to our potential, simple as that. When you watch this game again, take off your green tinted spectacles, and just enjoy pure, uninhibited, great rugby. The AB’s know exactly when to kick, exactly when to pass, exactly when to commit and when to stand back. They know where every man is at every moment. They never have to look. There will always be a man on their shoulder. They find the gaps with ease. They know each and every law, and play to with in an inch of it. There are 15 thinkers out there and a guide in the shed.

    Every coach in rugby should get a copy of this match and should show it to their charges at every practice.

    They are simply Awesome 1-15 and the bench too

  • 357

    @ bdb:
    maybe here it would be called something else , like RT correct or….

  • 358

    Too many Bokke handling errors…. penalty dicipline good, only 4 penalties conceded

  • 359

    @ Just For Kicks:
    Do we see you next time at Newlands in a AB shirt? No just joking , i also love the game and dammit they play a dream game.

  • 360

    Bokke had 55% possession and enough territory… but I think their attack was naive and not creative enough.

    First try by the Bokke was sublime though.
