And another AB attack comes to nothing before it even starts.

Could have made a great inside center.

Kwagga doddles through. Well this was a bit of a non-event, especially after the red. Boks way too strong, but geez, the ABs didn't even get a house of cards built before folding like one.

Faf kicking ball away leads to try.
Look at Reinachs pace to haul him in.

It was a solid performance by the Boks. They also gave both packs a good run with half a match each.
Willemse gets man of the match
The first time ever in test rugby that 7 forwards were on the bench.

Dang that was satisfying.
I've said it before...the Carter & Richie era was like the Warne & Waugh era for the Ozzies.
Those days are over. You can't live on reputation.
They're extremely mortal, very beatable and don't look like they're gonna trouble France too much.
Where is the depth? Where is their scrum? Lineouts?
Damn that was simply embarrassing.
Tough times ahead for the Kiwis...I mean, what don't they have to fix?

ABs can help themselves by not committing so many penalties and getting 3 cards. They are a better team than that! Congrats to the Boks though, well played!

This was not a test of significance Plum. We haven't improved, or cut a corner. You'll see soon enough. We didn't finish dead last in key facets of the RC for nothing. We weren't manhandled by NZ for nothing. This is one of those Hollow tests that Saffers hang onto.

The All Blacks had a bad day at the office. They just couldn't seem to their get their phase play going, and the lineout got worse as the match progressed
Tthe Boks put in their most allround rugby performance in years.
However, it was just a few games ago that the Boks were under the cosh against the All Blacks in Auckland.
The All Blacks will be back, but they need Retalick in top form who transforms the tight 5.
Willemse was great - but Leroux may have created more tries.
The Boks played well, arguably good enough to put anyway any team. The challenge will be to maintain this level through the world cup
I just hope Esterhuizen has played himself into the starting position.

Lets just know that l'Grande Merda did not watch the test at all? Just note that I know Stransky through Bruce Hulett - his father-in-law - who is a great friend of mine. He is a clever guy - academically as well and an absolute gentleman. So do not your own idiocy to try being evn more of a morn you normally are.

Significance or not, Deus...two teams were on the field but it looked almost unfair at times.
The best thing the ABs can take from this game is that they held up very well early, eating penalty after penalty. Pretty impressive actually.
Still, since when do they just give away penalties like that?
I mean, at some point it actually felt as though the ref was picking on them. But then, the penalties, as far as I could tell, were legitimate.
It's very strange. They got hit with same penalty so many times and kept doing the same thing. Pressure? Lack of leadership? There's certainly something wrong.
Honestly, I was hoping the game would open up and there'd be more running but why run when you can just win by rolling up field and forcing penalties endlessly.
I've never felt sorry for the ABs before but tonight I kinda did.
There's rot somewhere. Let's hope they figure out where.
And damn did Maanie play well. Practically flawless.
Guy is looking like the real deal. Funny, he slots his kicks, not much else changes, and suddenly he looks very very much like the real deal.
Lastly, Moodie. I think my girlfriend is in love with him...I may be too. Kid's got liquid nitrogen in his veins. That try was disallowed but he took it with all the ease in the world. And the best is yet to come from him. Absolute gem...just as Jake predicted.

A guy named Hugh and Meyer Bosman's mom thinks Stransky is smart because he tests L'Grande Merdas, not sure about the model. I think that's more or less it.

So guys, not being able to post any live pics. Was hard to get a decent connection.
Just miss catching saffex.
The All Blacks had no answer what so ever. I watched them play against us back in 2014 at Ellis Park and the boks were on the ropes most of the game.
So glad I got a I see this game live.
The boks defensive read and pressure was sublime.
The scrum was next level and you can see Frans Malherbe value.
Even Mostert put a decent shift in, not to mention winning two against the throw.
However, I don't know why Willemse got man of the match.
It was interesting to watch him. He definitely has blinkers when he gets the ball. There was a chance where he should have just caught the ball and shit to his left as we had numbers and the field was open. The All Blacks were bunches together. So I wasn't impressed with that type play of his. Doesn't use his backs

The All Blacks couldn't get their attacking shapes right. Some forwards getting in the way.
But Richy gas an incredible turn of pace an acceleration. Was a real threat.
Tales looked huge in real life even on paper he doesn't seem that big.
I have way more confidence now and I hope we can do the same again in the world cup.
Definitely a game for the rugby purist.
I was also impressed with Ox and Trevor. I know I give Trev a hard time but the guy is huge, wide. Amazing he can get around
