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.

Gbs do you allow this racist banter on your site. ### you loosehead. Ek sê ma net daar is nog 40min oor in die wedstryd.
@ Puma:
Changes to be made before the Wallabies match mate, that’s for certain. Like the sound of the big fella Mvovo too.
Its kool Super…
GifAplontjie MUST replace Jean and Ruan must replace Ricky…
Francois Louw also still not effective on the ground ball, John Smit is past his due date.
Aplon and BJ on.
@ grootblousmile:119 – gbs have to agree. Playing with 14 men cost us dear just like it did last week then we lost our way totally after. Hope we can come back today. Also have to agree with Super. This ref is totally rubbish today. Not blowing fair at all. A shoulder charge is a straight up yellow. Not telling the player to use his arms the next time. Rene Ranger should have been off to the bin for that charge on Zane.
Gio ON for Jean and BJ on for CJ….. goooooooooood!
pietman @ 101
morning pietman … wondered what happened to you!!
Penalty Bokke, on Halfway…
@ Wezwp:
Get a life. It is a figure of speech.
@ Loosehead:
Steps in the right direction. Too little too late, do you think Loosie??
comeon bokke!!
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:122 – OldG. Mvovo played really well once he got a given a chance to play for the Sharks near the end of the S14. He is playing CC at the moment. Hope he too can get a chance sometime. Now hope Aplon can play better than JdV. I think he will.
Okay back to the tv.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes, pc is set up nicely, still trying to find the refresh button though!
Son rewrote the whole thing and it is flying, so I will be on-line from home henceforth.@ Puma:
Sure thing Puma, nice to see you guys are still holding out here.I had to cross a few oceans the past month to sort out a few domestic issues, but I am back in the saddle again.
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
G’day Old Qua!
Kick the penalty.
Penalty Bokke, great passage of play… slot it Morné!!
vat hulle
vat hulle bokkies
vat hulle mannetjies vas!! 😀
NZ 13 / 10
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Poor choices to start with, imo.
game on!!
In usa whites aren’t allowed to use the word nigga in sa whites can’t use the word monkey ok. Anyway im glad Aplon is off. Jean shouldv played his way back in the team.
NZ heavy on attack, 10m out
Try Ranger??
TMO
@ Ashley:
Hello Vaaljan en Loosie, lekka om julle boys ook weer te sien!
Try…
I have always been afan of John Smit as a captain and at hooker.
But I think that his time has passed. He looks fat and unfit.
@ grootblousmile:
what do you think GBS? Try or not???
NZ 18 / 10
@ Wezwp:
Who says that I am white?
145@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:

Boys, we pride ourselves in getting along here… everybody, from all persuasions… let’s keep it that way.
We’re not Voldy!
