    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Paarl Bakkies Botha gets cited in France for legally running over a attempted tackler. So you can see BdP, Botha, Etzebeth all are marked customers by officials and they would consider car accidents where culpable homicide is used as murder. On the other hand the Ellis Park game should be...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Bullsrush first I want to congrats NZ on the win and in no way am I saying they did not deserve to win. They did. But thats not my point. Think past the gates of Eden Park and think of neutrals and selling the game of rugby. Game was spoilt because referees seem to apply SA do nothing by...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    People are not saying NZ won because of xxxxxxx IE the referee. What they are trying to point out is why officials have a higher tolerant level for NZ than most teams. It really spoils games and I am sure NZ supporters would have felt the same if they were on the other end.

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Hawko I got that part. But hence why I say they won't care about the rankings as the no 1 team get less points for winning matches everywhere than other teams would get. That is why AB are only a small margin ahead. Hence why they got 0 against Argentina. And as you can imagine SA would have...

    All Blacks v Springboks - Eden Park, Sept 14th 2013

    Brisbok correction. The fans want to be number one to run around and brag on the internet. The players just want a win and don't care by how many or how it was done. SA vs NZ have always been about rugby supremacy and you are as only as good as your last game. In the end win or lose one things...

    Australia vs South Africa - Brisbane 7th Sept 2013

    Bruce I think the mental aspect is more important than the physical aspect. Anyone can train to be powerful or strong. There are a lot of people out there who have got great physical attributes, but it is the mental aspect of, for example, being able to punch above your weight that counts.

    Worrying about the IRB rankings when the WC draw have been done is a bit pointless isn't it? Why would SA care about the IRB ranking? No cups for no 1 spot and no incentive. The gap SA would like to close will be the performance on the field to what it was between NZ and the rest of the teams.

    Brisbok South Africa looking good or Australia being that bad? It has very much to do with closing the gap on the All Blacks cause Australia both teams played and fter it both performances were compared. So I don't know why you are confused?

    lol Hawko Australia have just been that disappointing rather. One can see against the reactions as they thought SA are a bit easier to take as oppose to the All Blacks and Lions. The last game was a good measure of how bad they exactly are rather than how good SA is.

    Australia miss Digby. There is no linebreakers in the back or someone who could do the job what he did. Also you can't play the Aussie way with phase after phase when you only have a lock to do the hard yards upfront and he has to do the ruck cleaning.

    The NZ/SA Rivalry, how fierce is it?

    DAmo if you say that have no relation then I am afraid you should go do some research. The perception going around that NZRFU contacted the SA rugby union or vice versa and were told Moari players were not allowed. When the SARU were never contacted nor any requests made by the goverment. The...

    The NZ/SA Rivalry, how fierce is it?

    Damo its hard to explain the political and social issues of two countries and the reasons behind it in two to 3 paragraphs. Also you unwillingness to read it probabyly the reason for perception over the whole issue. The whole issue started from a single reporters telegram who was perceived as...

    The NZ/SA Rivalry, how fierce is it?

    Damo you are taking this out of context. Firstly you are showing signs of ignarance on how New Zealand marginilized the Moari's through the years. The fact that they were forced into European customs should already let alarm bells go off all was not well in NZ bback in those days. Even the...

    The NZ/SA Rivalry, how fierce is it?

    They weren't requested. NZRFU said no Moari must take part in the Kiwi trails. Thst is even better documented but ignored for some reason. Sorry cant edit my post but posted the wrong line up here are the correct ones FB Bob Scott W Bill Meates C Maurice Goddard C Ron Elvidge (c) W...

    The NZ/SA Rivalry, how fierce is it?

    Sorry can't quote my account is still buggered. But it seems to me people misunderstood what I said. Firstly when I said they chose to play league I was reffering at the highest level firstly. Those that were good enough to make the New Zealand team. Then the period was during the Great...

    Bowside altough it might look like it but playing Goosen will have the opposite effect for SA.
