Sure, but then you will have to listen for 4 years that you were a lucky dip winner.

It will be better to do it the hard way imo.

This time the AB’s have to earn the right to play the Boks in the semis.

Haha, absolutely!

Should be one hell of a semi. I don’t see this French team beating the Blacks.. it is just not going to happen imo.

More balls to the wings by the All Blacks in 3 minutes, than we saw from the Springboks all game against Wales!

@ robzim:

Hey Robzim, the greatest living Springbok actually spoke to me via the wonders of Social Media!!

I am besides myself.

OH, for the record he was lovely, I asked him how he felt about watching the Boks play now, did he get tense?
51

The_Young_Turk on 17 October 2015 at 9:07 pm

ABs look in a mean mood but Carter makes a hash of it. He really should retire, like Matfield and JdV.

All Blacks penalty, against the frog cappie… Dan Carter for goal it is.
