Springbok set pieces were good
Defences were good… in the All Black faces…
Not a single player who did not give everything!
Was close, oh so close!
Springboks spent what felt like ages, defending on their own 5m line.
The All Blacks dominated massive territorial advantage!
For once the heart and passion was back in the green jersey!
The ultimate prize in rugby is beating the All Blacks IN NEW ZEALAND!
Can the Bokke kick on from here?
Goodness, what a Test… this is what rugby is all about.
I am almost as bushed as what the players were just after the game.
Scrummed with my Notebook in the hands, jumped on the couch when the players jumped, drove with my legs on the tile floor…
Freegin hell!!
Congrats to the Boks and thanks GBS, commentary was great as usual.

Nail biting stuff.
Congratulations Bokke . A true Test Match.
Flair shown by the Springbok newcomers out wide.
This result is exactly what The All Blacks needed.
Thank you SA.

Hopefully this result will relieve some of the pressure on Rassie and he can go about rebuilding for Japan.
Rassie has “The Toughest Job” in World Rugby bar none.

Yeah, I agree…. but to an extent he has made it more difficult for himself too, with a number of wayward picks, if you ask me…
I missed a big fight by the Bokke. No bloody Radio commentary, maybe a good thing at the end, i would have killed myself on the Road, not concentrating.
If i look at the highlights and stats
one wants to remember the Final score only.
If we beat them in SA too that would derail them , i think.
The doubt will set in.
On the other hand if they had a better kick result it could have been another AB win.
If Rassie drink a beer tonight he might see these stats, from a old friend here Jan Leon Louw on Facebook
This is phenomenal

What statistics can never show:
– Heart, guts and passion
– How well the Bokke defence acquitted themselves of their task
– How biassed the referee was against the Springboks on so many occasions
