    die game is net n klug

  • 242

    Ok, guys we can now all relax. This game is over and only academic. They can run up the score all they like. It will mean nothing.

  • 243

    Game over now. The first yellow card to Bissie WAS not a card offence at all. This one was only questionable. Hell what has it come to now?

    We have to make our voice heard here with the bad officiating against us. Need to speak to the IRB or something.

    Bissie will be back for the next game mark my words. After they have a look and see he was unfairly given a yellow card the first time.

    Now not interested in this RC at all. They will get their 5 points out of this game infairly. What a damn farce. The big build up for this game has been ruined.

    We can only hope that we beat the Aussie well at Newlands and thrash this AB side which we will do at Ellis Park with a honest ref. We may still win this one.

    Reffing has totally ruined what would have been a terrific contest. Shameful it has come down to this. So disappointed and really angry.

    @ 4man:
    @ smallies:
    Janee, dis n naaiery, soos die Namakwalanders se….jammerte.
    Klug, wat n grootse wedstryd moes wees.
    Puma het gewaarsku die ref is kuk, al uit Skotland uit.

  • 246

    Now it’s important to go play in the right areas of the field!

  • 247

    235 @ MacroBull:
    Bisse was our best player. The ref made sure he was out of the way. That is how I see it.

    Mallett too was very angry about Bissie been yellow carded in the first half.

    Game over now. Not even worth watching. What a damn farce.

    @ Puma:
    Ja man, great occasion ruined by this palooka ref, disgrace to rugby.

  • 249

    I really feel for JdV and the guys. How do you continue to play in these conditions? What is going through their minds? How do they motivate themselves to continue?

  • 250

    So is this the only way they could bet 4 tries against us? Hell I am angry.

  • 251

    Bokke defensive penalty… now go search for territory!

  • 252

    The only hope is that a AB player can be sent off too to balance things out…

  • 253

    249 @ The_Young_Turk:
    I would take my men off the field to be honest. This is a farce.

  • 254

    Kiwi commentators almost sound embarrassed.

  • 255

    Ons passing is glad nie baie goed nie, ball seker nat

  • 256

    We will effectively have played with 14 men for 48 minutes… against 16 men

  • 257

    Bokke must now show grit and passion like never before!

  • 258

    @ superBul:
    Hierdie game spoil die hele comp, al wen ons ook die bleddie beker aan die end.

  • 259

    Imagine ons wen nog van hier af!

    All Blacks now playing a territorial game against the Bokke… and the Bokke are rattling

  • 260

    Nonu knocks… phweeew

  • 261

    While its no good crying over spilt milk, perhaps Bismarck should have been replaced at half time by Strauss, wouldn’t have lost too much in playing ability, and with Bismarck getting that first yellow this was always a possibility, especially as it sounds like you guys are saying the ref is not blowing well. Sounds the first card may have been dubious, even if it was from an offside position and meant one of their star players ended up leaving the field injured, but come on guys to use an elbow in someone’s sternum is just not on, and how often in the past have we seen ‘robust’ play from Bismarck. Sorry but think its was an error of judgement on Mr Meyer’s part not to whip him off before it got to this. Will Bismarck be cited and have to sit out more games or will his red card be considered enough punishment?

    Doc Jannie & Beast off, subbed

  • 263

    Bokke defensive scrum, we need to make this count

  • 264

    @ Pietman:
    All Blacks can even win the competition if they rack up a good score against the 14 Boks today! They will surely get 5 points and we will get none. Then if they pick up at least one point in SA, they will win the cup.

  • 265

    Ook nie sy ma se mooiste nie, daai een met die hare sonder ooghare, Nonu. n Regte moermy gesig…

  • 266

    Bokke scrum penalty… goodie

  • 267

    Bokke get another defensive penalty, nice one DUANE!

  • 268

    Jeez, we just need a spark somewhere!

  • 269

    @ Bullscot:
    You make a good point about subbing Bissie, but clearly you didn’t see the incidents, The first was completely legal and the second was clearly unintentional and more the fault of the tackling player.

    @ The_Young_Turk:
    Whatever, but this game will be spoken about for many years as one of the dark days in rugby history between the two countries.
