As per, was picking and choosing what he was going to penalise at the end hoping for the hollywood finish, how on earth the ABs weren't awarded an offside pen I'll never know, oh wait, Nige.

Categorically the worst referee in world rugby

Yup

Waiting on the kiwis to tell those of us who gave the Boks no chance we're not allowed to celebrate the win

You'd better at least provide an abject apology to your team

No problem

Hope the north island posters are questioning whether Barretts conversion kicking is up to International standards now.

SAAAAARRRRRDDDDDSSSSS You fokkon dick head. You suck like Kolisi.

I was supposed to be at this game with 5 AB supporters and 1 bok supporter. I was going to support the boks (usually it would be the other way around) so my mate wasn't on his own. Couldn't go because we are getting our house ready to go on the market Wednesday.

Gritty stuff, Boks. Well done - 5 tries suggests you brought it to the ABs in spades.

Couldn't put it better.

fudge them, did you see that knocknon with three minutes to go? Let them apologise for that first.

Unreserved CONGRATS Bokke. I didn't particularly enjoy being beaten, but it'll do us no harm I guess.

7th beats 1st away from home. How far do we climb the rankings now?

Good stuff and pleased to be wrong about the Bokke. There was some excellent play mixed in with errors on both sides. The ABs will need to do better...

Nah. Fan pressure counts a lot. Once we accept shit, they will dole it out always.

You mean no goal kicker = vulnerable ABs.

What did Barrett kick tonight? 2 from 6?

Congrats Bokke. Flustered the All Blacks quite well.

Good stuff.

So much for the ABs being miles ahead of everyone else.

Flo. I bet Ox kicked the cat

That was a bit of a surprise. Very tense finish. Well done SA.

Do not think they made any provision for that ....

You wrote your own team off, it wasn't just 'I think the Bokke will lose' it was sloppy white flag, expecting a hiding sh-t on here.

Enjoy the result, hopefully it put a few more hairs back your collective lady-chests.

Already thinking about some kind of celebratory braai for tonight....

Been awhile

Note to the SH neverending-return-games-lovers :
If your *cough* "competition" was a one-off game thing, this kind of game could be a tournament changer, making all other games live-or-die games. Hence the interest. But here, it's just a another game...

We're not allowed to point this out apparently; uncharacteristically the kiwis get quite precious about this...

What a sad bunch of cvnts

Do you even Rugby ?
Try focusing on what a fantastic game that was

Negative much ?

As an AB fan, I am not in the least unhappy about this. World Rugby needs more strong teams, and the Boks should be one of them.

Radio Sport NZ was lamenting the demise of one of the world’s great sporting rivalries today. They’ll be genuinely as happy as anyone with this result.

Read the thread you wankers.

What?!

I'm a North Island poster, and I lead the way in telling the world BB farking sucks at goal-kicking and always has!

It's sheer arrogance that he's kicking ahead of his bro, or D-Mac when he's on.

Dude needs to give it up already. Hansen grow some stones and tell him!

Bok Bevok. We just won the world cup!!!

You called it after 40 mins, mate.

Pollard did the same for us in Argentina 3weeks ago.

Marshall Banana wrote:Looking forward to BB goal-kicking next game when we have 2 superior goal-kickers on the field next to him.

Can't farking wait.

If they nail their colours to the mast and put JB at fullback on a permanent basis, BB doesn't need to kick anymore. I think the rest of his game might improve too as the pressure is likely getting to him. In fact, I'm quite certain it's the pressure that's getting to him when he is place kicking. He was fine for a few years until a bad day or two and ever since the media noticed he's always been wobbly.

I'd say he's carving up on the practice field as if he was anything like this then Ted would have ditched him already.

Well done to the Boks, showed everyone that the only way to beat NZ is to keep the taps wide open for 80 mins and keep in at them. Appalling game management by NZ at the end, but what a game!

Sandstorm wrote:Rassie in. Yeah?

Rassie can have the freedom of Durban.

You always learn more from defeat than victory. Aside.from the obvious - playing far too loose and Beauden's kicking was gash - there will be plenty to dissect.

Sonny Blount wrote:No Brodie = vulnerable ABs.


A Smith should have stayed on another 15 mins. The team suffers behind TJs pass.

Not enough of Ben Smith on attack in the second half.

He was really missed out there today. Tremendous player. Worth at least 5 points to the ABs before the game even starts. That was the margin you needed.

Agreed. Too many tests, too many games against the same sides. A pet peeve of mine.

Treating the left touchline like the Germans treated the Maginot line. (Yes, I know that won't hold up under scrutiny. Don't analyze that one too much)

Sonny Blount wrote:No Brodie = vulnerable ABs.

This loss had nothing to do with Brodie's absence. They expected to win but the Boks had other ideas.

Beauden couldn't kick a conversion to save his life and the All Blacks gifted the Springboks two tries. They'll learn far more from this get than anyone else.

This was one of his goals for the year.....he got it. Respect for that.

I was hoping that they didn’t take the drop goal. Seriously....if we’d won on a droppie, I would have felt dirty. The Boks wouldn’t have deserved to lose like that, and the ABs certainly didn’t deserve to win like that. As much as I’m pleased (big picture) at the result, I really wanted to see a gritty try up front, or an amazing diving effort in the corner.

This is no bad thing for the ABs. We are not all of a sudden a terrible team. We had an ordinary game in kicking and execution, and that’s a rare thing. So I doubt Shag will be panicking. Goodhew showed that he is becoming a massive part of the AB success. Ben Smith got real quiet in the 2nd half.

All-in-all, I’m not too worried.
