Yes, congrats to the Boks and their fans! ABs will be back stronger than ever, they needed a wake up call. Boks fans on this site will be a little more cheerful its been a pretty dark in here for a while now.

Thanks lady and gentlemen - it really is nice of you.

Before the match  Hansen said the Springboks was the favourites to win and we all made fun of that statement.   I admire Hansen tremendously and think he is really the best coach I have ever seen in world rugby.  

After the match his statement was proven to be correct.   The statement seems to be how he sees the scenario and serious to the "t".  Next time I will not make fun re comments by Hansen - he knows rugby and the abilities of players and he saw it differently than a lot of our own world experts on site.

Thank you my Kiwi friends for your gracious acknowledgement of a wonderful played test. I thought both teams showed great sportsmanship. Hardly any penalties to speak of. Your captain Read is a legend and the way he smiled in losing. I think that he was happy that his team finally got challenged on their home patch. Will make our WC pool match even more interesting.

Great stuff by the NZ team, coaches and commentators.....and thanks to the AB fans on here. It reminded me of the old days when one could hardly watch the last 10 minutes of an AB/Bok test. WD a special shout out to you for often reminiscing about the old rivalry. Today we saw just how exciting it can be.

It was a great test. I certainly wasn't expecting the Boks to be able to fire back, but they did. This was essentially the second Puma test, but those missed opportunities in Mendoza were converted in Wellington. In games of small margins, missed opportunities are what kills you. My anticipation was for the Boks to have their usual flurry of physicality only to be sucker punched. Like I said before, the only pressure the All Blacks feel are points on the board. Thankfully we were able to do that this time around.

Cheers guys ,and great to see Brother Hakwa again !

True Moz I was starting to feel like it was a done deal ,I would have moved heaven and earth not to miss the whole game previously so I hope this kickstarts the old rivalry again !

I saw Bok fans crying for joy and it hit home how much more it meant to you guys these days ,us ABs fans have become not so much entitled as inured to the thought of losing on home soil to the old foe.

Just dont make a regular thing of it thanks and be sure to give Ireland ,England and the other SH teams the same passion and intensity for a good old fashioned SH rogering of the despicable NH player stealing buggers eh ?

Thanks Kiwis you  are gracious in defeat and showing yourself as true sportsmen, the AB's remain in my not so humble opinion the best team in world rugby.

For mine the loss has breathed life and hope into South African rugby but not only that it is also doing the same for SANZAAR and world rugby.As I've previously stated, no fault of yours but with the AB's ruling world rugby the game was dying....no-one is interested in a one sided game, no-one is interested in a game where the result is a forgone conclusion. 

And as for going out for dinner on a night of a test game Wardad, you've just reminded me of a dinner I had  and a bet I laid on the AB's under Taine Randell beating he Wallabies in Auckland....it still hurts.

Yes ... it was a good win ... and it meant a lot to us ... BUT!!

Beating the All Blacks in their own back yard is something rarely seen. It just doesn't happen ... and so you have to ask yourself, how did a bunch of losers like the Goats come away with the impossible?

Typical of South Africans ... we are now world beaters again ... the Bok is back ... and the world had better watch out ... but in truth ... the All Blacks had a shocker. Worst game I've seen them play for a very long time. 

Their fans have taken it on the chin ... without an excuse ... even Hakwazeeeeeee and hats off to them for that (that's the Kiwi of old I know) ... but ... I still think that it needs to be said ... and so I will do it on their behalf.

They lost the match ... we didn't beat them.

Stupid decisions ... and so many mistakes that I thought for a moment we were playing against someone else.

That is NOT the All Blacks that we know ... or should I say, that I know. They would usually still thump us by 20 pts while having an off day ... so no ... I wouldn't believe all the nonsense that's been printed in the media. 

Why you may ask?!!

For us ... NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! We are still the same team that consist of near on 60% failed losers. We are still the same team that hasn't come close to selecting it's best players yet ... we are still the same team filled with quotas ... the same team selected on race ... and we still have the same idiot token as captain.

I know idiots like SharkShit and Poepies will now hail this team as an all conquering side ... that we have our team for the coming world cup ... that Kolisi belongs there as capt ... and that Rassie is a genius coach.

They tend to swallow everything that's written by journalists. They're ignorant fools.

The All Blacks are going to sort a few of their issues out and then they're going to destroy us on our home soil.
They are going to put us back in our place ... and we're going to see why we're ranked 7th in the world.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Cloudster I once feigned illness to get out of dinner obligations but was caught out when the family came home early and caught me jumping up and down yahooing and cheering  the ABs !

Had to make some hefty and deserved penance for that one...

There are still serious problems in the Springbok team and you are correct in most what you wrote.

However, it opens the way for Mozart to write his normal BS and lies on the match performances and for Poepies and a few others to abuse reality.  Just an example is defense in the pocket  and where Pollard made 7 tackles and missed 5 - and suddenly he is the new inside center discovery.   He is not and to put him and Jantjies together as a 10 and 12 will just open a floodgate for attackers to exploit.

Lunacy on their part is always present and one can only read their comments with amazement,  

In the meantime a win is a win and we should appreciate the effort by the players in getting it.  We should also  get it straight - the gracious comments of the NZ members are admirable.

Hi Mike

Pollard is Moffie's man ... has been for many years ... and so he can do no wrong.

The truth however tells a different story.

He lacks consistency and his form fluctuates from match to match. It also seems as though the pressure of top test match rugby has taken it's toll on him. He is by some way not the player he was at junior level.

He in my opinion is not a reliable choice at 10 and I would only use him as a tool to blood Willemse properly from the bench. Also ... he is not even a solid 12 at SR level, so playing him there in a test match is madness ... but then again, Moffie loves selecting big burly blindside flanks on the openside and even spent a little time giving us his 101 on counter-rucking ... remember? 

His latest Moffie Logic was to select Marx on the blindside.

Haaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha. Sy kop raas lekker , jong!!!

Jantjies is a disaster zone ... to be avoided at all costs.

Kudos to you Kiwis for showing us how to graciously take a loss on the nose without starting to play the blame game and using it to take a pop at each other.
