Test loss

Ok guy lets put it to the vote.

Did Matfield's performance on Saturday cause us to lose the gaw.
All that is required is a simple Yes or No.
Yes is my vote.

 Yes

Yes  

 Well he didn't really help the cause either....and that reversal was a tipping point of sorts, but lots of errors were made by all the players and officials...and we were playing the best  team....The whole team is to blame equally, including the coaching staff and SARU. We had enough opportunities to win it though.

At no time did it look as if the Goats were ever going to score a try.

That one lonely opportunity should have been pounced on.

Matfield and his decomposing brain made sure that the Goats would never see the final.

 

 Lol no, at no point did the boks ever look like they were going to win the game. At no point did they look like they were going to challenge the abs line. Abs were at least 15 pts better, the scoreline flatters NZ.

The score line flatters NZ?  

 No. As others have said the Bokke never looked like scoring anything but a penalty. I don't think you can blame Matfield for the Boks not winning. Meyer maybe. Moz you know what 3ku1 meant.

NO. Like most I agree that Victoria should have never been anywhere near the RWC squad, BUT, there were a number of incidents that contributed to the loss, none more so than the BS style of the boks of whom Meyer is directly responsible.

No. The tipping point was starting the second half with a 5 point lead and the All Blacks down to 14 men, and then conceding 10 unanswered points. We were never in the game again.

 No.
Many plays/players contributed to the loss.

 It all depends really on that penalty if undeserved matfiled didnt in fact loose the game although he so useless he didnt help at all.
A big point is how bad are the wee abs if we are so frot! Bwahahhahahahahaha
My conclusion - Abs extremely fortunate to win the game via a penalty reversal by get the Japry conspirator A YOB.Tries are not the only way to get points in rugby. If you are put under pressure and seek to nullify that pressure by illegal play you get a penalty against you and that rightly translates into points.
A YOB worked the script and handed to match to the nz - which happens almost every time we play these serial cheats.But note how Craig Jouberts wrong call prevented Oz being knocked out. Neither Oz nor Nz should be in the final barring ref error.
End of story

Obviously, no. There were several factors which contributed to the Bok loss. As an example the Boks lost 4 crucial lineouts which killed their momentum, to me that is one of the main reasons for their loss.
