All Blacks (13) 31 / Springboks (7) 17 (Final Score)
The All Blacks hosted the Springboks at 09:35 SA Time in Wellington, New Zealand for the 2nd Tri-Nations Test. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The Game was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
For the 2nd weekend in a row the All Blacks score 4 tries against the Springboks to earn a bonus point.
This time the All Blacks win by 31 / 17, a 14 point margin.
Lots of complaints about they way the referee handled the game, but let’s be honest, the All Blacks were the better team on the day again.
Let’s hope Ruan Pienaar now gets a starting berth against the Wallabies and BJ Botha plays at tight head prop. Let’s also hope the National Coach realises that Jean de Villiers is not a right wing.

61@ The Chosen One:
Hello
Should I even turn the TV on?
@ grootblousmile:58 – This is totally rubbish to watch gbs. Really this team should be playing far better. Also some selections are terrible.
Super, asb broer lossie ref. Dissie die ref wattie kan tackle nie, dis okie die ref wat ons skrapse possession weg skoppie.
So much more hunger from NZ
@ Loosehead:64 – No just save you energy…LOL. Boks are rubbish. We really miss FdP and Juan and a good wing. JdV is not up to it either. Actually none of them are. Going to turn over and watch the Open instead.
@ The Chosen One:61 – Morning.
Loskoppie, watch man….
We need more ground-ball…. and our defences out wide, specially on right wing where Jean should be is very suspect again
Morning Chosen
was weg, wat gaan aan?
Nice one, Super….
73@ The Chosen One:
Alles hang mooi net die Bokke wat rondfok wat pla
Shit, I should have taken Ouma’s advice.
@ Loosehead:
Ouma = Puma.
JDV will be cited for a spear tackle.
Jean with a spear or almost spear on Ranger…. lucky to get away with it
@ fender:
Just as we moan about the ref your standard reply is to piss in your pants when we query anything from a ref.
Anyway D Muirs influence can be seen in the Bok side they all went from stars to naughts
Jean is pathetic…. sub him please
80@ superBul:
Flok SuperBul, los die aggressie, tjom.
NZ 13 / 0
Super, must I assume that this is your final response, seeing that you removed your first response in which you told me to ef-off?
Weepu having a field day against Januarie
84@ fender:

…..and Kirschner being heavily exposed at this level.
87@ Wezwp:
