HKGK….love him or hate him, this McCaw is one smart player.
great scrum pressure from the ABs.

Aussies se petrol is op, hulle is moeg van hul SA uitstappie. Weereens moet die AB’s vir Snorre bedank.
Giteau’s missed kicks now rued by the Ozzies
We’re at the crunch time. After leading all game the wallas now behind. This is what wins world cups. Can they come back and regain the lead????
Relieving penalty for Ozzie….. after it looked like all money that the All Blacks could score again
Ozzies have the ball, can they milk a penalty within range or score….
…No, penalty All Blacks
1 min left
Penalty Ozzie, in their own 22…
Hooter goes…. Ozzie have the ball.
Knocks both ways…. it’s over
All Blacks win by 1
now the heart can slow down… well done ABs
Giteaus kicking again costing his team..
Very good Test, All Blacks back themselves so well to come from behind and then close it out.
Ab’s almal se baas. Help nie enige span ander span wen volgende jaar die WB nie, AB’s is die beste, ongeag die WB.
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Wallas’ tough schedule getting to them, boys are out on their feet.
But Gitau, eishhhh mate, Piet Visgie wouldn’t have done it that way, neither would your old mate Peet Smith, he would have nailed those penalties eyes closed…..but anyways, ell done Ozzie, it was close.
Faaaaark, now we have to listen to ole Graham Henry’s gloating again, eina!
