IMO the final penalty was a 50/50 call with Burger falling into the tackle. The TMO was clearly erring towards a no penalty call before Barnes decided otherwise.
another 48hrs before i see the game. 70 000 homes in auckland without power. Switches off a hour before kick off. Conspiracy theory if ever ther was one
Fug!
The all blacks got away with more then the boks. I wouldn't say the all blacks were missing several players either and I wouldn't be talking about the travel. boks were the better side. All blacks stayed in the game from some brilliant work from individuals. Just like us against the argiesGreat game to watch even though we lost.
The bright aspect is that the AB's had done so much travelling, were playing with several top players out, (and others playing like shit), and still almost won the game.

The Boks also got a way with slowing the ball a lot, and could easily have had someone binned, but all good teams tread that line.
That said, they played a terrific game and it was good to see Pollard come through and silence his doubters. What a future that kid has! Looks very much like a young Daniel Carter.
Duane Vermeulen was all over the ball, that was legit but Schalk Burger entered the ruck from the side without making the tackle, it was a carbon copy of McCaw's penalty that gifted the Waratahs the title.
Why oh why did they sub him, any idea? He was absolutely carving up, NZ basically had no answermy boykier Handre.
Muttonbird!Fire started a hour before kickoff so the perps would've had to be both psychic & psychotic which is an unusual combination, even for jafa's.
Last week against the Wallabies Meyer did the same thing. Lambie actuall played well in both tests, I was more upset about Strauss coming on and could not find his jumpers. That cost us the momemtum.Why oh why did they sub him, any idea? He was absolutely carving up, NZ basically had no answer
I think he lives in the same road as I do. Well there is a greying old man with a NZ first bumper sticker with a tattered silver fern flag from the RWC flying out of his window. Pretty dam sure it is him.Muttonbird!
No sign of him around here lately AND he is a psycho AND he lives in Ellerslie!
What a fantastic match. Congrats Boks - well deserved victory.
Highlight for me was that one-eyed prat Justin Marshall declaring that the (legit) penalty at the end was "ok because it's not within kickable range."
That Pollard is a gem.
