Boks versus Abs official match thread

 Jean - you're a better man than I am

 It was a typing error I swear. Now its a punch. Why no red?Go Bokke finish them off hahahahahahahaSeem to be working a point re the rolli ng maul?

 Too many silly errors

 14 men and we score a try!!

 Beeno, enjoy  the game mate. It's a great one and its not over yet.

 Where are the reserve backs?

 cmon

 Back to 15 men & outscored the boks with 14.

 Cloudy women should be seen but not heard - at least until after the match!

 Man hard luck again - Willie misses a try!! 

 What is wrong with the Springbok lineouts and driving Mauls. Nearly all other areas have been great this match, and in the 4nations.  The 2 traditional strengths could have seen a much better return

 I hope this typo does not become a issue after the game. Both teams have done the game proud and it should be won on the field.

 Brilliant game. Well done both teams!!! Fantastic.

One of the best games ever !
Mr Meyer - thank you for building a team that can legitimately challenge what some have called the best All Black team in history. 
All Blacks - deserved #1 team in the world. All credit - truly remarkable consistency and excellence

 Congratulations to the All Blacks. Overall i think rugby won today. Sorry my Bokke.

 Boks have shown they can play a 15 man game and they answered many questions IMO. But the ABs, what a victory in Ellis Park - it took 16 years but the got the win.
Commiserations to Bok fans but IMO you have nothing to feel bad about. Boks are back!!!

 Hard luck Boks but too many soft tries to abs. Mistakes cost you.Congrats to abs.Also congrats to the ref who was a breath of frewsh air.
Boks will look at this and realise with the talent coming through we are almost there. The best backs were actually Boks. Jean and Bryan. Man what a pity he went off we needed his finishing. 
Also need a second lock and not a passenger. Du Toit will fit the bill. Eben was outstanding. We should also have had Deon on the bench so much better player. Kolisi however was okay.Du Preez has lost the devastating break he once had. So next season its the very fast Reinach. 
Meyer is building well.

 Hi folks sounds like a ripper game eh ? 

Boks lost some edge with front row subs - 50th min? Maybe too early?

De Villers is all class.

JW thanks. The Boks are back and will be better next year I am sure. Very little in it now. 

 What a game!!!!!!!!!
One of the bests I've ever seen. The All Blacks are simply the bests. They stated it loud and clear .
Kieran Read has been inmense. What a total player he is!

 Oimatey I think the bench will improve next year. There is a lot of quality coming up. I think we can improve significantly even by next year. Too many simple mistakes.
I hear Mallet talking about to simple exit errors giving two tires to nz also Willie's try effort which was desparately close.Its all little things. 

 abas dont be rediculoius it was desparately close.I note Mallet is saying Coenie is not an international tighthead. He is a loosehead. We need Malherbe in the picture.

 C'mon beeno.................
It's been a close game untill Read broke it scoring his try with 14 AB players on the field. But they have also stated it because:

-They have won 9 from 9 so far this year, now with 385 wins from 507 Tests.

-The All Blacks have won 12 straight matches in The Investec Rugby Championship, breaking the tournament record by 4.

-They have won 6 straight away matches in The Rugby Championship, breaking their record set in 1996, 1997, 2009 and 2010.

-New Zealand enhanced their position as the best travelling team in world rugby, winning Test 180 for a 69.6% away record.

-This is their 12th tournament crown in 18 attempts.

And could continue....

 abas please dont even begin to quote stats inflated by ref manipulation and blatant cheating. Today you won fair and square so well done.The Boks however made unnecessary errors and lost the game which was closely contested. Watch out in 2014.

 Beens, shouldn't you be happy you already have 400views on your post. I suspect you are trying to make it a 1000?. "official match thread" hehehehehehehe

Hakwa: Beeno always has some undetected diabolical plan, have we all been fooled again?  you might be onto something there mate, lol
