TRC Round 2 : All Blacks vs Springbokke @ Cake Tin

[Dismal Pillock]

Fair result. Stags butting heads around halfway line for 75 mins, ended up cancelling each other out.

Although with only 5 handling errors that seemed about as good as SA can play with that side. 3rd gear with no ratio for 4th. They kept the AB's in 3rd gear without ever letting them get it into the 4th and 5th we know they have.

Oh fuck, Lurch has broken something there.

Was a heavy heavy contact hey

Drawn final, SA win on count back of lineouts won.

Didn't you read the rule? In the event of a tied final, England wins

I think from a mental perspective that first game between the Boks and All Blacks shapes up to be much more important than many realise. No team has gone to win the RWC without winning all their games. Always a first time I suppose, but mentally that will be a problem to overcome for whoever ends up second best in that game.
