England or France could. If they send a B team to Japan then Japan could.
Next year, if Meyer keeps it up, the Boks could well beat them twice. Whoever tours can come close (See Ireland test 2 last year).

So I say 1 year at most.

You're having a laugh. An E team maybe. Maybe.

Yeh I know what u mean. We r no way near as bad as marshal though. That was terrible. He only spoke when the all blacks did something. Kept quiet when the boks had the ball. Margo and kearns are the problem. Sharpe is brilliant and clarckie isn't bad. Malony doesn't go bad either. He is very even

Just re-watching while getting ready to go out and this is soooo far off the mark it's unbelievable. In the space of about 3 mins I've heard Marshall compliment and commend de Villiers, Habana and the Springbok team as a whole. And I don't even like Justin Marshall.

I really think your hatred for the All Blacks is really spilling over into anything remotely connected to them.

Greatest of all time is always a very subjective assessment, but this game will go down in history as one of the classic matches of Rugby.

Glad I stayed up to watch it live. Two heavyweight contenders going head to head, punch for punch, cliche for cliche for all 15 rounds. Nothing left in the tank when the referee blew no game.

Congratulations to Meyer, and Hansen and their teams for this demonstration of how the game should be played.

Great game. It has been a while since we saw a game like that. Congrats to the AB's on a well deserved win.
Everything about the game was great and I though Owens did a fantastic job out there.
AB's still ahead by far, but I thougfh the Boks improved again.

Geez HJ, glad I not only one thinking this was one of better ones I have seen. Agree all subjective, but for combo of running and brutality take a bit of beating. It not all that often that these kind of tests live up to the hype, but this one because of 2 welled coached teams seemed to of!!

I disagree. I didn't say that he puts down the opposite team. He just only gets up for the all blacks. No emotion while the bokke had he ball.

If there's been a better game of rugby this year than that, I'd like to see it. Decided to watch it live and thankful that I did. Habana's second try was incredible, Kieran Read gave a masterclass and for McCaw to play the entire game first game back from a medial tear is immense.

As for Justin Marshall, listen to how excited he was for each of Habana's tries, I remember him gushing over them. I quite enjoy his commentary, at least he's enthusiastic.

Wow, great game.

Interesting to see what Mark Reason trolls this week after this game, when the AB's have a good win he tends to focus on just being anti rugby.

Any other game and Beast would have gone to the bin. Owens was very nimble in managing his way through that one.

The funny thing about the cards, is that they were more or less appropriate and didn't dominate the game in terms of taking the gloss over a fantastic game of footy because of a "pocket happy" referee.

Yes the odd person may have a bit of a technical beef with aspects of how Owens handled certain aspects of the game, but to all intents and purposes that was as big a game as any RWC final match - altitude, 70000 saffers at home, Premiership at stake, #1 rank vs resurgent #2 rank.

Well handled Mr Owens.
