Boks versus All Blacks official match thread

 well done nz just one team actually wanted to play

ABs win it, what a game. Too close for comfort. Boks gave it everything. Congrats to our boys, tough luck Boks & their fans. What a game!

 Kia Kaha Springboks !Kia Kaha All Blacks ! Your Mighty Boks pushed our boys [ and my heart !] to the limit .My commiserations to our saffa friends .Go The Mighty All Blacks !!!!

 Was it matfiled who did the headbut and had a kicable penalty reversed. Then lost a crucial lineout. Then called the ball to himself and then lost the ball. What a pap oak this is! 
Also giving away that penalty to the abs in the 22.Sickening loss
Also the TMO from Oz missed infringments by abs but pinged us.The ref on the field did a reasonable job.
Boks need to trust their attack more.

 Congratulations. Good luck next week.

 

 Well said Wardad. I need to borrow some of Beeno's meds to calm down.
We all know it could be close but this was agony . 

 Good night Cloudy. How you can sleep after that I don't know, lol

 JW I am actually not really enjoying the rugby of late so much as enduring it ,although there was some joy in sticking it to le Frogs !Hey Cloudy ! I rubbed the Autograph on Richies pic for ya ,you know for luck like a bhudda !

 One head butt which I missed seeing cost us the game. Also that penalty we gave away in our 22 when we should have just exited.
Boks now need to work on their attack game. We have some great young backs in the country and we need to get this going.Meyer has been over conservative and did not develop enough creativity.

 Yes Wardad that game was too close & tense to be enjoyable. Last weekend was enjoyable. We are spoilt fans & the expectation to win & win big put pressure on the players & the fans. Can squeeze some joy out of it but it is more relief.
Now we have next weekend. We will see who we face tomorrow.

 very badly played by the AB,..... but even poorer were the boks

ugly win, but a win that take the AB to the FINAL!!!!!

 piss poor tactics from boks......just did not want to win the game.....really really poor...it was not a ability issue but a mindset issue....the ab were not there in my view but due to the boks rubbish conservative mindset cost us....
there is nothing worse than pitching up and losing without even bloody trying

 Ironically the Bok fans may have enjoyed that game more than AB fans. You always would have thought you had an outside chance of winning it up until the last 3 minutes or so.
Yes, we won ugly again but a win is a win.

 yes just win and congrats is in order.....your team was the only team on the pitch actually trying to play the game and not get the ball kick defend and pray for mistakes to milk 3 points.....
thats not rugby in my books 

 Hard luck Bok fans but ABs deserved to win that one. 2 tries to zip and Boks didn't get close to our line so would have been a travesty if we'd lost. Penalty count against ABs must have been horrendous and we failed to adjust for a long time. Thought SBW made a huge difference when he came on and punched well over advantage line every time!Bring on the Final and go Argies!!!
