Springboks (16) 22 / All Blacks (14) 29 (Final Score)
The Springboks hosted the All Blacks in their last Tri-Nations match against one another of 2010 at FNB Stadium, Johannesburg at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was bradcast live on SuperSport 1, SuperSport HD and M-Net.
The All Blacks won, scoring 2 quick tries in the last 3 minutes, to break the Bokke hearts and those of their supporters.
It must be said though that the Springboks showed moments of brilliance during the game though, with the Hougaard experiment working well and Juan Smith and Flip van der Merwe doing their part brilliantly too.
Jean de Vlliers shone at inside centre and Morne Steyn’s boot was as effective as ever.
… but well done Blacks, you came, you saw, you absorbed a shipload of pressure … and you won!

Helloooooooooooooooooo
A number of Castles strong, but the body is still ticking…. heheehe
Man, you guys should see where I sit…… farking hell……… PERRRRRRRRRRRRRFECCCCCCTTT!
I just worked through a wonderful buffet lunch, thanks SARU and the GLRU… that was amazing!
@ Puma:
Yeah but he did a poor comparison between JS & Mealamu. Called Mealamu a fatty, what a cheek. Just look at Mealamu’s work rate around the field on both offense & defense, he is a real asset, a 4th backrower. Love to have him on my team any day.
Hee, Haw, getting ready for the big game, it’s going to be a cracker. I’m going to try to stay on RT during the game but will run the risk of breaking my PC due to excitement. 🙂
@ Treehugger:
Mealamu going to eat his lunch today 🙂
Come out boys and girls were are you all hiding?
@ superBul:
I read somewhere that a 1955 British Lions match had a crowd of over 90,000. I assume it was at Ellis Park, but they did not cite the actual crowd size.
@ JimT:
Hi JimT
Hope this game could be played with 15 player a side all the time.

@ superBul:
Yep, I agree with that. Don’t need any excuses today. Let the best team play & win. Can’t imagine what the atmosphere must be like at the stadium.
@ grootblousmile:
Jy eet suip en drink wat kry jou assistent?
@ superBul:
That was a great BI team. The overall series was tied 2-2 as I recall. All welsh front row, Cliff Morgan, Dickie Jeeps, Tony O’Reilly – what a team. Pity we in the UK never saw the matches but just read about them. O’Reilly was only 18 when he toured, celebrated his 19th in Kruger Park while on tour.
