All Blacks to break Springboks record?

 Was that the same great Springbok team that were humiliated at Twickenham to bring an end to Mallett's winning streak which also started him on a downward spin like a WWII plain that was shot down?

Oh, and BTW, it is not Mallet that set the record with the All Blacks equalling it. It was the other way round. The NZ winning streak was 27 years old when we did started ours. They were first and we equalled theirs. They have just equalled their own original 17 game winning streak, which we equalled in 1998.

Another thing. That record is also only as far as Tier 1 sides are concerned. The overall record of all international sides is actually held by Cyprus and it currently standing at 23 matches and counting.

Glad I could be of service. Call again.

 Windpomp ya half wit take away the RAWs they would be any where near a record. Doubt they would have won 4 in a row!!! Two RAWs agaisnt Engalnd B this year alone. Bwahahhahahaha man talk about fictional records.

 There is nothing fictional about that. Those are the cold hard facts.

The All Blacks' first winning streak started with a win over the Boks and it was ended by a loss against the Boks.

• Streak began on September 18, 1965 with a 20–3 win over South Africa in Auckland.
• Streak ended in July 1970 with a 17–6 loss to South Africa in Pretoria.

Grootbek M allett's 17 match winning streak is actually only a 16 match winning streak. The first of the 17 test matches was actually the one under Carel du Plessis against Aus in 1997. It was ended with that humiliation against England at Twickenham. So, there you have it another balls-up by ou Rooidrol.

"When winning the 3rd test of their June series against England, the All Blacks equalled the record of 17 consecutive victories set by Nick Mallet's great Springbok team of 1998 (the last truly great Springbok team in my never humble opinion) and they will have a chance to break that record when they take on the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday."
