Made it

Aug 25, 2023, 18:20

Well done KK, looking forward to your reports!

Aug 25, 2023, 18:28

yes, Kingcorn - cant wait for the live match review. Upload a Selfie of you & Saffex!

Aug 25, 2023, 18:29

Must be pretty tough on these AB supporters... World Cup game times.

Does the bench only have one back on the bench?
I thought I saw 7 forwards listed, perhaps a mistake.

Aug 25, 2023, 18:43

Good early pressure by the Boks.

Aug 25, 2023, 18:44

Bit unimaginative with the attack close to the line under advantage.

Aug 25, 2023, 18:53

2 new zealand forwards in the bin.
Now is the time to put some points on, especially as no points have been scored.

Aug 25, 2023, 18:53

Two yellows for the All Blacks.

Aug 25, 2023, 18:56

Bit sad that we couldn't score against 13 men that close to the line.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:04

Sweet break by Esterhuizen.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:07

Not exactly the Bok/AB clashes of old, is it?

Aug 25, 2023, 19:10

Smart work by Moodie stopping a dangerous looking AB move.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:17

Intercept try for Arendse. All Blacks looking pretty average.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:17

Finally, great game s

Aug 25, 2023, 19:17

Finally, great game so far. Feels like ages, so tense

Aug 25, 2023, 19:19

All the southern big three are all time bad Pakie. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:25

Ref in the pocket. Check. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:26

Yeah I hear you DX. 

I dunno KC, I feel my interest waning. Doubt I'll bother watching the second half. Something is lacking. ABs looking like a second tier test side. Red card probably not going to improve matters. Meh.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:29

And the Red Blacks score on the half, who would have thought.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:30

Try cancelled due to a naughty hand. Oh dear.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:32

Just tuned in. I'm time to see kiwi ballarinas score.

Wee abs playing dirty again. Glad ref is blowing them. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:32

Not going the AB way that's for sure. The score could be a lot worse. The red card is a big problem for the RWC efforts. ABs can still win this game, they need to get more ball.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:33

Justin Marshall agrees with the red. Please note JW. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:38

This game is not necessarily over. Wee abs can still win. Remember when 13 sharks players whipped the Crusaders in NZ. 

Deus writing off wee abs in case we win. What did I tell you guys. If we win it's because the other side is useless. 

I hear the commentators saying our forwards very dominant. Oaks agree? 


Aug 25, 2023, 19:39

Stransky says Boks could have scored 35!

Aug 25, 2023, 19:45

7-1 split.

Called it.8-)

Aug 25, 2023, 19:45

Stransky? The man has the iq of a meth addicted peanut. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:49

He actually has a genius IQ Deus. 

Boks score. Nice work Kolisi and Marx. 

Libbok converts from touchline. It's 21 nil

Aug 25, 2023, 19:50

B team pack coming on. 

Rassie wants to see how the oaks go. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:53

Moodie scores a beaut after AB play breaks down again.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:53

Moodie

Aug 25, 2023, 19:54

Brilliant Canaan Moodie try.

Oops no try. :'(

Aug 25, 2023, 19:54

Officials checking again. Would be cruel if that's disallowed. And it is.

Aug 25, 2023, 19:56

Let's see how B pack goes. 

Heavens what a Bok scrum. Wee abs demolished. 

Aug 25, 2023, 19:58

Man it's sad to see an AB side this toothless. That backline looks neutered.

Aug 25, 2023, 20:01

Steph was trying to wrap his arm around Cane. 

Marshall agrees with me. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:01

Steph might be in trouble for an arm to the face. Card time, yellow.

Aug 25, 2023, 20:02

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

Aug 25, 2023, 20:03

Pakie they are on the back foot as wee a pack not shaping this far. Then our defence is up fast. 

Bok front row over powering wee abs again! 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:05

Interested to see how Kwagga goes. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:07

Nothing kick by Faf, come on man.

Aug 25, 2023, 20:08

Faf flattens Jordan. Best defensive scrummie in the world. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:10

Too much power from Boks. Try time! :D

Aug 25, 2023, 20:14

This reminds me of the 2013 away test to NZ. A farce. And waste of time. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:20

Libok line kicking again excellent. 

Kwagga twinkle toes over. Try! 

Could have made a great inside center. 


Aug 25, 2023, 20:21

Poor Deus all his talk of Boks having a glass jaw and soft underbelly!!!! Deus disappears under a mountain of EGG


Aug 25, 2023, 20:21

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.

Aug 25, 2023, 20:24

Faf kicking ball away leads to try. 

Look at Reinachs pace to haul him in. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:31

Let's consider the RC, she this farce. Context is key. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:35

I hope all our regular Bok knockers will zip it for a few hours. Hahahahahaha. 

Glass jaw, soft underbelly. Bwahahahahaha. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:37

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.

Aug 25, 2023, 20:37

Boks should go to number 2 on IRB rankings. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:39

Boks too good today and I’m just glad that wasn’t a quarter final in the RWC….

Aug 25, 2023, 20:45

Mooooo abs should improve.


Aug 25, 2023, 20:45

Congrats to the Boks, a dominant performance! ABs will bounce back!!

Aug 25, 2023, 20:48

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?

Aug 25, 2023, 20:50

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!

Aug 25, 2023, 20:51

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. 

Aug 25, 2023, 20:53

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.


Aug 25, 2023, 21:11

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.             

Aug 25, 2023, 21:17

Aug 25, 2023, 21:45

Well, that was a jolly strange old match ! 

Aug 25, 2023, 21:47

ouMaaik, are you back on the booze?

Aug 25, 2023, 22:15

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.

Aug 26, 2023, 06:23

???? can anyone please translate gibberish?

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.


Aug 26, 2023, 08:08

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 

Aug 26, 2023, 08:13

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
