A test is a test. Just because the competition has been won doesn't mean the test is dead.

 Surprisingly McCaw is of the same opinion as you Pakie. I voiced my reasonable opinion to him and he said: "Hakwa, It's nice not to have to worry about bonus points or different permutations," he said. "It will be a normal South African All Blacks test match and everything that comes with that. That's exciting. We want to go and play well and win."

Just downloaded the game & watching it now - Spanish version. Poor Spanish singer is struggling with the NZ anthem, lol
Glad to hear Kev had a great game, he has more in the tank than I thought he had

C'mon Hakwat, we wanna play & attempt to beat the world's top team . Anyway the dead rubber provides you with a handy excuse if you do lose.

 No such thing as a dead rubber.
I thought your team of all teams should appreciate that ! 

A match is a match and that is that.

You go out and play your fixtures.
Simple as that !

 It is probably the best Test to test Beauden and Harris. I was disappointed Harris missed out on this Test. At the same time I can see why they don't want him burnt out when he is not ready for a Full Test yet. Remember Cruden's shaky start against the Wallabies in Sydney and Nek minit....GLORY to GOD.

theres one record i want more then the RWC,,,

Boks vs All Blacks test in SA...
45 tests - Boks have won 24, All Blacks have won 20, 1 draw
Boks 53.3% - All Blacks 44.4%

amateur era
22 tests - Boks have won 15, All Blacks have won 6, 1 draw
Boks 68.2% - All Blacks 27.3%

professional era
23 tests - Boks have won 9, All Blacks have won 14
Boks 39.1% - All Blacks 60.9%

we have already schooled the Boksuckers in south africa during the pro era, but were 5 tests away from having a superior record to the Boks in total, and i cant wait for the day that happens, cos for all our accolades, that would be the icing on the cake.

its important that we keep playing lesser teams like the wallabies and the Boks, cos what most kiwis dont realise is that as much as we own them, they are the best the world can do to challenge us.
its not that they are pitiful, cos theyre not, its just that All Blacks are in a completely different stratosphere, to where they are.
thats why the Boks and wallabies are content to fight it out for the honour of being IRBs official poo, or ranked No2, while the All Blacks lock up No1 for 90% of the time since its inception,
