Absolute Legend. He should have had over a 100 caps for the Boks.

Eish my Kiwi brothers - get your shit together!

Could have been worse - like forced to sleep on mattresses in the bowels of the stadium the night before (ala 1981).

Don’t you just love when this guy runs off to the mods like a tell tit to a teacher ? Spends so much effort in an attempt to irritate and provoke with outrageous exaggerations and straight up lies then runs to mummy . Bloody embarrassing. And yet you are the one with the most reports on this thread...

F*ck me there’s some gold in here. “Don’t go out at night” :lol: The self-appointed expert on the country is some smug English kant who spends all his time in f**king Toti :lol: And hasnt seen other parts of the country like CT for ages yet has it as a certain shithole. He’s the worst type of Briti...

Wrong. Again... Comprehension failure. The testing is 100% compliant. The issue is that the legislation hasn’t yet been amended due to incompetent politicians. Not difficult to understand. Signatories are required to undertake three steps in order to be fully compliant with the Code: acceptance, im...

Has NZ ever had a kicker in the high 90%. Did Carter even hit 80%? Carter probably hit 80%, definitely not 90%. Don't let facts get in the way of a good story though. More importantly he slotted kicks when they really mattered... that 2015 WC he hardly missed any in the knockouts... plus those drop...

It was always going to be a close game. Interesting to look at the games played between the Springboks-All Blacks since Rassie returned - rivalry is back: ‘18 / Westpac Stadium / 32-34 Boks ‘18 / Loftus Versfeld Stadium / 30-32 All Blacks ‘19 / Westpac Stadium / 16-16 Draw ‘19 / International Stadiu...

Is Rassie officially now the most despised name in the land of the long white cloud?

South Africa are the best coached side in the world. They know exactly how to play to their strengths and get the opposition down that road too. They are keyed into every possible detail. You only have to look at the water carriers and physios constantly barking out orders coming down from the box,...

Springer

Why extend ourselves if we don't have to? You only need to win by 1 point. We don't have to be the Brazil of rugby to entertain you. It's a ballsy strategy to hope your opponent will miss what would have been the winning kick. Merts missed one in 95, and DickMo and Jordie both missed one this time ...

Here we go...also saw somewhere that there are a certain group of fans now coming up with a new conspiracy theory re the Final being rigged!

Klarse op and responses gents.

The question is, Clogs, will you change to Double Asterix when Siya lifts the Web Ellis for a 3rd time in a row, and the Boks 5th WC win, in 2027 - and Bok fans proclaim Siya as the GOAT amidst a PR meltdown?

Springer

The Springboks needed their defence to step up - and they did so, making 209 tackles, significantly their highest tally in a match at the 2023 tournament (New Zealand made 93 tackles in the final): Player of the match Pieter-Steph du Toit led the way for the Boks with a match-high total of 28 tackl...

I recall back in the day when the All Blacks celebrated their players for their remarkable ability to cheat and get away with it. Richie McCaw is perhaps one of the most celebrated. The GOAT. Not just for his amazing prowess as a player on the field, but also for his remarkable ability to break the...

Fixed for you.

Springer

Another moral victory to the plucky English for making a final and losing by 20+ points, but more importantly, Tom would have been in a safe palace not hearing Wit Kant.

Springer

That's even worse than I remembered. Penalty SA - not an All Black within a mile of where that pass was going. Deliberately thrown into Eben. Except for the direct line to Jordan, the most devastating of devastating running backs. :(( :lol: :lol: Not. Even.Close. or in the same zip code.

It's all about this. Somewhere out there, Siya and the Boks have sparked dreams amongst a few poor, under privileged kids that now believe and have hope. How cool is the below pic. Both Faf and Siya ended up playing in Joost and Schalk's jerseys! https://www.goodthingsguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023...

You should see if you can get on the show.. it doesn't have enough non-Kiwis on it!

This Bok team vs 2007 Boks would be very interesting Current Boks have a much higher workrate, something the 07 Boks were vulnerable against But 07 Boks had some proper heavyweights and were masters at controlling the flow of a game. Butch would obviously get red carded in the first few minutes if ...

Springer

Yup, the world has certainly moved on but unfortunately the Kiwi's haven't.

And do not forget the unsung hero here who always puts in the hard yards without getting any glory - Franco Mostert had 16 tackles in the final and 49 total across the QF, SF and Final and missed 0 tackles!

Very interested in visiting Capetown with a Saffer couple we know . He’s a lovely bloke . She hilarious , both doctors . I get the feeling that it’ll be very much like the US in the fact that’ll I’ll love visiting but never want to live there . Which certainly won’t stop me enjoying it however . Pr...

That thread is too long so I didnt read all of it. How about I summarise this for everyone? The All Blacks are the greatest 3 time Rugby World Cup Champions in the history of the game. Ever. Ever, but on the rare occasion that they do lose, they don’t really, because it wasn’t their fault. If howev...

Just to make the case: 2023 Boks beat: - The worst team in the tournament by points differential (Romania) - The 3rd best team in that year's 6N, who didn't qualify for the quarters (Scotland) - A team who only managed one other win, against the worst team in the tournament (Tonga) - 3rd in the wor...

The 4, 5 and 6 are as good as there has been. Individually its arguable. And with Marx at 2 a good shout too. Vermuelen is past his best quite evidently. Perhaps the 4,5,6 and 8 of 2019 RWC / 2021 Lions were better. We've had better forward packs. I think 2007 was better - even w/ Danie Rossouw. To...

Nope - not even close Actually, that poses an interesting question. Enz - which Bok forward pack would you rate as the best? The 4, 5 and 6 are as good as there has been. Individually its arguable.

True, we can't beat ourselves although our B team would give us a good run

Yes completely agree. Could’ve gone either way but I guess the Boks did enough to make it go their way when it counted. Not agreeing here. Great teams know how to win. They got the point lead and then dont let you have a sniff of getting near the tryline. This team clawed back 2 games against the L...

This Bok team is probably the best pack ever imo, but it’s hard to say they contend for title of best team of all time because they only seem to perform at world cups, whereas other World Cup winning sides like England 03, and the great Nz side of 2005-2015 were dominant in their eras, at the World...

Yes insanely tough road to the final and hell of a final opponent too. 3 one point victories in knock outs is telling also.

Some great games at this WC but France vs Boks for me. Wildest first half I have seen in over 50 years of watching Test Rugby, and even though errors created some of the pulsating rugby, one can say that pressure caused those. A brutal, physical, and at times sublime game in a pressure cooker enviro...
