Lets say it this way, NZ tackles won them the game
Bokke denied again… lineout Blacks, 5m from their line
4 Minutes to go
Blacks scrum… think the fat lady has cleared her throat
Dink daardie drie net voor halftyd het ons gebreek … saam met ou Poite oorsee, te veel druk op ons geplaas.
Bokke scrum penalty, Bokke run it… and they muck it up
VdM has had a pretty indifferent game
Lambie now mucks it up
Errors, errors, errors. The downfall of the Boks today
We lost a lot when Habana went off. He runs much more decisive lines, and also more accurate. Is Jan Serfontein on the field?
Hooter goes… Blacks want to score again… they don’t
Game over.
Final Score: New Zealand All Blacks 38 / 27 South African Springboks
Well done All Blacks. Good game. You won it simply by making less errors. Simple as that. Back to the drawing board for the Boks. But I am now really excited about the NH tour coming up.
Let’s give credit where credit is due… the Blacks are bloody good
This was the Boks game too loose. And we were never in it. We never looked like being in control of this clash. And there was no clear game plan.
The Springboks did not disgrace themselves… they were leading at one stage, with their 4 tries in the bag… but the All Blacks came back with 2 more of their own
Hierdie span van die AB’s gaan alle rekords breek, ons lyk al baie beter, maar het nog lank om te gaan. Ons het hier ‘n kans gehad om ie momentum te swaai, maar het dit nie gevat nie. Jammer Bokke, nog harder werk.
Oh well, cheers chaps, have a great evening. Still going to get pissed, first few drinks just won’t be quite as happy affair as they may have been, but after that, the past never matters!!!
All Blacks win the series of controversy.
Congrats but hopefully We dont let this all go just like water under the bridge.
a Few questions will be asked. Did the ABs score their 4th try with a illegal player on the field.
If so the try could have been cancelled and they would have played out like us in the previous test with 14 men
319 @ superBul: Agree, that illegal player thing is going to rear it’s ugly head in the next few days, thats for sure
Nouja, so is dit… the fact that Dane Coles was in, is not an excuse.. he was announced earlier in the week to be on the bench. It would be severe sour grapes to moan about it or that Keven Mealamu’s name was on the team sheet

Have a great night all
320 @ Just For Kicks:
Hope not…. it would not be right
Kruger should not have started.
Bismarck was taken off way to early.
JJ should have been left out as it is clear that he is not over his injury. He did well under the circumstances but was far from 100%.
Folks, remember, the wooden spoon match after midnight SA Time (00:40 SA Time), Pumas vs Wallabies
Jean showed some great sportsmanship when the Coles debacle happened on the field, he said let’s get on with the game
Great comments by JdV. He has turned into one of the best Captains SA have ever had. I doff my hat, sir.
No reffing qualms for me tonight…
327 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip… if anything he is a bit too diplomatic… hehehe
The sad thing here is that the AB’s had 14 men on the field for 20 minutes of the match and it did not change their attitude towards this game.
