All Blacks (20) 32 / Springboks (3) 12 (Final Score)
The All Blacks hosted the Springboks in Auckland, New Zealand at 09:35 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The All Blacks comprehensively outplayed the Springboks and dominated all facets of play, even the lineouts and scored 4 tries to none.
The All Blacks won 32 / 12, a full 20-point margin seperating the sides.
Defensively the Springboks were found wanting on the outside channels and also allowing the All Blacks to speed up the game and run with their dangerous back three with great effect.
On the ground Read, McCaw and Kaino were masterful and Kevin Mealamu had a sterling game at hooker.
Back to the drawing board for the Springboks but some players still emerge with credibility, Zane Kirchner, Schalk Burger and Jaque Fourie.

Francois Louw has been quiet
Kirchner is solid
Ref het ons van n penalty gerob, hy het nie ons die volle advantage gegee nie
Better scrum Bokke!
As ons nie volgende punte kry nie, is dit ‘tickets’
NZ steal our lineout
@ grootblousmile:
Skeef gegooi deur JS
Read gets his rods pulled down, whole ugly butt exposed…. hahahaha
bdb, some stuff a ref wiil see and some he won’t. That’s just the way it is in any sport. Let’s be man enough not to blame the ref everytime something doesnt go our way. I know blaming the ref is our national pastime, but the time has come to ditch that one I reckon.
Ok, so game over.
Try Nonu, around a maul, in the left hand corner.
Kan nie rugby speel sonder die bal nie.
All Black came for this game, it will be a miracle if we save this game, now the bloody bonus point comes into play too
All Blacks 20 / 3
69: fender ek blameer nie, wys net die foute uit. AB’s is beter as ons vandag, maar dit kanselleer nie die ref se foute uit nie.
NZ doing all the playing
Penalty Bokke, on the side and own 10m line… too far
Schalla playing hard, like usual.
Hooter goes.

@ bdb:
Fender is maar so hy hap altyd alle Bulle k@k, selfs ons ondersteuners. 😆
Something drastic has to happen in the 2nd half!
They are making the Boks look 2nd rate at the moment
Surprising result so far? What’s going on with bokke? Is it AB pressure or boks just off their game???
83@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
AB’s are playing superbly…. Bokke battling to stop the going forward.
Jean’s wing looking vulnerable, think Aplon must come on.
at the moment we’re being outmuscled and we dont have an answer for that
all blacks getting clean, frontfoot ball most of the time
they’re gonna rape us if we dont get the ascendency in the rucks soon!!
Bokafrigters moet besef sonder FDP moet ons ‘n wedstryd plan B hê, waar ons balbesit behou en nie skop nie. As hul aanhou om uppies te skop, gaan ons die AB’s ‘n bonuspunt wen gee.
Bring Ruan op as skrummie, bring Bekker in Bakkies se plek, Danie in Louw se plek, skuif JDV na binnesenter, Aplon op vleuel, en begin hardlooprugby speel, ons het nie ‘n ander keuse nie.
SA Studio personnel also saying Bokke looking suspect on Jean’s wing, he tried to intercept 3 times there and they got around him each time.
gbs @ 84
think so too
BUT
with jean moving into 12
bdb @ 86
exa-cit-ly!!
@ bdb:
Dink al daai goed gaan gebeur maar waneer?
