@ gunther:
2 games?
This year?
Then they are 2 points in the lead…glass definitely half….full
@ nortie:
322
more important: the ABs will not enjoy Peyper and Barnes ‘services’
Sony Bill is great all around but fairly poor in the defensive alignment, he tackles well in his channel though
G’nite all – time for a wee dram or two …
@ gunther:
It wasn’t a whine buddy just a statement of fact, in nearly ten years of blogging and countless beatings you’ve never once congratulated the winning team 😀
Enjoy the win funny guy.
Goodnight from the PRC.
@ Angostura:
Cheers, enjoy
321 @ BrumbiesBoy:
And having said that, thank goodness that that boring curtain raiser is finally over…now bring on the MAIN GAME of the evening!
@ NZINCHINA:
Look I’m sure that’s as magnanimous as you get.
Take care buddy.

Bok deserved that win….a lot for the Abs to work on

Great game by two great teams. Well deserved win in the end by the boks.
It has to be said though that the replacements this week was not as effective as last week. But that is how that goes sometimes.
Hougaard and Pollard was excellent tonight, and Duane is amazing. Also thought that Mohoje had a much better game this week. Good on him. I thought in the end the replacement of Bismarck took much needed strength away from the team.
Biggest disappointment in the team for me currently is Eben, he has gone off the boil and is nowhere on the field. He must really pick up his game.
Geluk Heyneke!
What a fantastic interview with Lambie.
Dink hul moet al die Bokke nou laat rus, niemand in die CB laat speel nie, behalwe die volgende ouens wat game time nodig het in die CB,
Marcel vd Merwe, Vic, Hougies, Pollard en Jan.
@ Te Rangatira:
Howzit mate, I’m at a birthday party in a pub & there’s a guy here with an AB jersey on…greeted him earlier & the accent sounds like a Saffer, am going to look for him now & will report back later!

Ek stem saam, die gereelde spelers moet nie speel nie. Hulle moet wel die bank en die res van die groep speelkans gee. Anders sit ons met spelers wat te lank terug gespeel het.
341: baie goed gestel Snoek, maar jy het vergeet om Lambie ook te noem, was ook skitterend, veral met daardie laaste skop.
Stuur groete vir Sharkies forever en Puma, sê die manne moet weer kom gesels, ons is baie lief vir Lambie hier !

The party must be boring if you find yourself on the internet. 🙂
What a game of rugby, played by two great teams… Well done Bokke, commiserations to the AB’s – they just never give up. The team as a whole played fantastically and if we can keep that going then we are going to make an impact come the World Cup…
Well done AB’s on winning the RC…

Ha ha, Lambie was nie vannaand beter as Pollard nie. Maar daai skop was groot. Laaste keer wat iemand daai skop oorgeskop het om ‘n belangrike game te wen (2009) het die person ‘n plek in die span bespreek vir 4 jaar. So Lambie moet in die wolke wees.
Snoek, jy is reg, Eben speel nie meer so goed nie, wil net fight. Bakkies speel eers goed en boelie dan die ouens. Hoop hy kom reg.
Gelukkig dal PSDT terug wees volgende jaar.
En Vic is soos wyn, hoe ouer hoe beter.
Die volgende beseerde spelers kan die bokgroep nog versterk

Wie nog ?
The Bok did a few things better than the Abs which were the difference..
Getting over the ball and slipping balls in the tackle…
A loss is a good thing is the way I’m trying to look at it…on the other hand it only builds confidence for them…which is not good… oh well maybe next time…Bok were too good on the day…
351: Flip vd Merwe ook nog, maar sal Bakkies daar hou vir sy ervaring.
@ Snoek:
Kia ora Bumble… Go hard….
Winning becomes a habit… Ask the All Blacks and the Ozzie Dream Cricket Team…
I don’t know how you guys felt, but I couldn’t catch my breath in the last five minutes of the game… It was that close… Phew…
@ Gumboots:
Hi Gumboots…. I feel happy for you…
The last five minutes whilst I wanted the Abs to win it…deep down I had a feeling that the Bok deserved it a tad more..
347 @ Snoek:
Nope, not at all bud,but he’s definately a Japie, shook his hand & offered him commiserations just now, he looked at my Wallaby badge & said: “Whatdaja mean, we won”! Noodles & co are gonna love that!
BREAKING NEWS:
Monkey goes missing in Johannesburg at Ellis Park.
The SPCA has asked all Gautengalengs… especially those who attended the All Black / Springbok Test Match… to be on the look-out for a monkey on the loose.
Apparently the monkey went missing from Springbok Coach Heyneke Meyer’s back after the final whistle of this epic game of rugby.
The SPCA would like to capture the money and take it to its rightful home and ensure it never again attaches itself to Coach Meyer’s back.
The cooperation of the rugby public will be greatly appreciated…!!!
Firstly… congratulations to the All Blacks for playing a great game that so very nearly won the match.
Kudos especially to Richie McCaw…! It could not have been easy to front up after his first loss in 22 games. But he showed that not only is he a gracious winner… but a very gracious loser too. Respect to a rugby legend.
Secondly… congratulations to the Springboks for playing a good game… not great because of the falling asleep in the second half… but great stuff for winning it in the end…
Kudos especially to Jean de Villiers…! It has not been easy fronting up to 5 losses to the Abs as the losing captain. But he showed that not only is he a gracious loser… but a very gracious winner too. Respect to a rugby legend!
Well done to Duane. To Hendre. To Hougie. To Patrick. To all the tight forwards. To the loosies. To the backs. To the replacements.
And a very big well done to Heyneke and the coaching staff. A really great guy is Heyneke who has been building the Boks slowly but surely over the last 3 years.
And has finally got his just reward.
