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

[Hugh Jarse]

Great Meat Pie from Lambie.

This match has lost a lot of discipline and is almost like a Car Park brawl at the Mean Fiddler in Rouse Hill.

Well the saffas have crashed heavy back to earth after this drumming. Looking at the score line like most folk do outside GNG

AB's are just to good, from there quick clean out, to there perfect body height.
I think mid week training video for the rest of the comp should not be analysing how to beat them but how they play the game.

What? If the Boks had 15 players for that other 50 minutes it would be a different game.

Poite trying to even it up madly carding any AB in sight.

AB's should now jump every time they are passed the ball. If a SA tackles them in the air then its a penalty according to this ref.

What you thought it was a incorrect cal??

"At no stage did the Boks look to have this game in hand. There were some nice touches but that was it. We made incisive runs through out the game and continue to now. The Boks have not really breached the line at all. The packs have been pretty even and taken their opportunities.

But you'd have to say the team that played the more positive rugby will win and from here it looks like the ABs. Irrespective of the red card. "

Nonu.is there a shake my head in exasperation emoticon?

Nonu has apparently had 5 YC this year.

In Junior Rugby, that would get the team placed on probation, and several fines.

I guess that why he doesn't have a team!

Would you happen to be quoting Gregor Paul by any chance?

What a farce of a game.

I'm disturbed at the effort you put into that. But well done, sir!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Send one more off and we will have a game of Mungo. 13 aside.

This game will be remembered for a lot of things, for a long time, not necessarily for the right reasons.

 

[whatty]

See definition of hollow victory.

No, better, the Fern
The lack of Bok attacking ability clearly demonstrated throughout the match.
But, it is a hollow victory.
They'll take us at Ellis Park I reckon.

I agree, my point was most people look at the score line when they judge games, I read my post back and failed to get that point accross



It was a good hard game rugby, ruined by a french ref... ( my point )

 

[RoffsChoice]

This is one of those games which you just feel angry about.

I'd take a hollow victory, but I'm coming off a low base.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

I guess the Saffers may now have some empathy with the Welsh after Warbuton was sent off after "that tackle" in RWC 11.

Both games ruined as spectacles after Red cards.

 

[Shiggins]

What started out as the best test In a long time turned into a terrible result because of terrible calls.

Bismarck shouldn't have been carded once let along twice. We still don't know who the best side is in the SH because the boks played half the game with 14 men. So disappointing as I was really looking forward to this test and as I said it started out so positively.

Good too see Nonu finally getting a carded for a late shoulder. It's the second time he has done it in the test season.

Sorry to be negative guys. I was really hoping this one was going to be a blinder and to be fair the players had no part in changing that.

Unlucky Bok fans

Boks can hold their heads high - a great effort despite some difficult circumstances.
