Well done KK, looking forward to your reports!
Well done KK, looking forward to your reports!
yes, Kingcorn - cant wait for the live match review. Upload a Selfie of you & Saffex!
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.
Goo
Bit unimaginative with the attack close to the line under advantage.
2 new zealand forwards in the bin.
Now is the time to put some points on, especially as no points have been scored.
Two yellows for the All Blacks.
Bit sad that we couldn't score against 13 men that close to the line.
Sweet break by Esterhuizen.
Not exactly the Bok/AB clashes of old, is it?
Smart work by Moodie stopping a dangerous looking AB move.
Intercept try for Arendse. All Blacks looking pretty average.
Finally, great game s
Finally, great game so far. Feels like ages, so tense
All the southern big three are all time bad Pakie.
Ref in the pocket. Check.
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 matter
And the Red Blacks score on the half, who would have thought.
Try cancelled due to a naughty hand. Oh dear.
Just tuned in. I'm time to see kiwi ballarinas score.
Wee abs playing dirty again. Glad ref is blowing them.
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.
Justin Marshall agrees with the red. Please note JW.
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?
Stran
sky says Boks could have scored 35!
7-1 split.
Called it.
Stransky? The man has the iq of a meth addicted peanut.
He actually has a genius IQ Deus.
Boks score. Nice work Kolisi and Marx.
Libbok converts from touchline. It's 21 nil
B team pack coming on.
Rassie wants to see how the oaks go.
Moodie scores a beaut after AB play breaks down again.
Moodie
Brilliant Canaan Moodie try.
Oops no try.
Officials checking again. Would be cruel if that's disallowed. And it is.
Let's see how B pack goes.
Heavens what a Bok scrum. Wee abs demolished.
Man it's sad to see an AB side this toothless. That backline looks neutered.
Steph was trying to wrap his arm around Cane.
Marshall agrees with me.
Steph might be in trouble for an arm
And another AB attack comes to nothing before it even starts.
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!
Interested to see how Kwagga goes.
Nothing kick by Faf, come on man.
Faf flattens Jordan. Best defensive scrummie in the world.
Too much power from Boks. Try time!
This reminds me of the 2013 away test to NZ. A farce. And waste of time.
Libok line kicking again excellent.
Kwagga twinkle toes over. Try!
Could have made a great inside center.
Poor Deus all his talk of Boks having a glass jaw and soft underbelly!!!! Deus disappears under a mountain of EGG
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.
Let's consider the RC, she this farce. Context is key.
I hope all our regular Bok knockers will zip it for a few hou
rs. Hahahahahaha.Glass jaw, soft underbelly. Bwahahahahaha.
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.
Boks should go to number 2 on IRB rankings.
Boks too good today and I’m just glad that wasn’t a quarter final in the RWC….
Mooooo abs should improve.
Congrats to the Boks, a dominant performance! ABs will bounce back!!
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.
???? can anyone please translate gibberish?

Well, that was a jolly strange old match !
ouMaaik, are you
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.
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
