"It will be remembered for some highly questionable officiating from Jaco van Heerden, as well as from the TV booth, and mostly to the detriment of the Sharks ... but was also memorable for that old fox Victor Matfield quelling recent criticism of his playing standards with a hugely prominent role in getting under the visitors’ skins.

Although the vastly more youthful Pieter-Steph du Toit showed some good touches at times as well, a fired-up Matfield bossed the keenly-awaited individual battle at No 5 lock and continued his under-appreciated role this season in making some vital tackles in open play"

 Mozart
Go and look at the ESPN stats again and see who was doing the bossing.   I cannot believe that Ouma Victoria is still regarded by some as a worthwhile rugby player.   He really is a joke in bad taste.

What a load of shit. It was not even close between PSDT and Vic. PSDT was far superior in every department.

Well it's you and Mike against the world. Kinda like when you both thought Lomp was the answer. Matfield was the main character in that game, the other players danced to his tune.  A master at work.

 I love it when Mozart gets absurd - Matfield called the tune - but he was not the captain and what tune did he call?   Any rugby player who does not deliver the goods cannot call the tune - and Matfield did not deliver anything of substance.
You must be on cloud cuckoo land to think that Matfield called any tunes - the only tune he called  was whining when Bismarck slapped him like a fly.
Bismarck told him top his face twice to "F#ck-off"  twice and that was a tune with resonance.   Don't you think Bismarck does not know that Matfield provides zero support in scrumming?     He obviously knows exactly what game Matfield is playing running off to  Meyer to blame others for his own lack of performance in Tight 5 play.   
It has been evident for a while now - Matfield is no team player - so the chances that the players listen to his whining is about zero.

 Actually no everyone is correctly saying Matfield is a liability these days and both the stats and his contributions yesterday confirm nothing has changed.
Vic did nothing of note yesterday in fact taking 1 line out ball all game and then negating that with a lost line out ball tells me he was pretty bloody poor.
Him running around listening to the Sharks conversations and him hanging onto Bismark away from the ball is hardly the work of a master.
Vic was as useless as ever

 Matfled was pathetic and disappeared completely in the second half.Its the same story with mcaaaw. He dos squat and his groupies drone on about king Ritchie! Bwahahahhahahahaha its hilarious.Matfield 105 kg bossing Du Toit HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wee victor cant boss a scummie! He is a disgrce and shoud lretire immediately for the good ogf the Boks and the poor long suffering bulle.
Look at him being offside, tackling Bissie who didnt have the ball and then getting his desserts and having a hooker show what a weakling he is! I think th bulle also got a penaly after that.The match was rigged and the bulle should have lost by a dozen points or so. What a total disgrace that match was. The TMO should be chucked out for good.
The result was very unfortunate as it gve the matfiled groupies an opening to make twits of themselves by supporting matfiled.
Sorry but Beeno totally "p*ssed off by pathetic matfiled and the cheating bulle TMO!!!
WAKE UP MEYER MATFIELD WILL COST US THE RWC AND YOUR JOB.
