South Africa v New Zealand. 21 Aug 2010. What is your prediction?

[smartcooky]

Fantastic!!

Superior fitness told in the end. The Boks will be devastated as really, they deserved to get more out of the game than a losing bonus point.

yeah, i thought they were the better team, all blacks very lucy, but the boks have only themselves not to at least have a drwa

 

[DanCarterite]

It was all in the last 10 minutrs, the Boks visibly ran out of steam, but it was a huge improvement from them. Tough hard fought match that could have gone either way, kudos a plenty for both sides .... still YAY YAY YAY Tri Nations trophy comming home, and No Yellow Cards!!!

Comfortable win in the end. :lol: New Zealand eased away in the finish and were never really troubled. :lol:

Hell that's all I copped last year from our South African forum buddies, so I guess things like that blow both ways.

aaaargh who is she!!?!!?!?

 

[shtove]

ABs should be really proud of that win - head and heart.

Amazing to see SA getting mashed in the scrum. I guess ABs were fitter, and SA so tired in the end they couldn't figure out how to keep the ball. Steyn needs a talking to for giving away position with those deadball kicks.

Long overdue for a change from my sig, but Gemma Atkinson. There are some very nice pics about the net, lol.

south africa have every right to complain about mccaw again,this is in the heat of the moment BTW,whats the rule cook about his try when its grounded with his foot in touch at the same time i think it was a try just, but a brave decision either way

 

[TRF_Cymro]

On Nige watch ... thought he did well, could have given penalties either way. Feel sorry for South Africa ... manned up for 75 odd mins and lose like that was heartbreaking.

And New Zealand can complain about Burgers sticky fingers too. The last angle before the try was awarded showed the ball touched down one frame before the foot hit the deck.

South Africans will say one thing, New Zealanders another, but at the end of the day.....New Zealand will forever have won the match. No matter how deep the river of tears. :lol:

the lion supporters would be laughing i guess considering i was one of them,but nothing can be as bad as losing to the ABs at the death for the umpteenth time

 

[TRF_Cymro]

I was thinking about Dagg's try where was his hand in regards to the grounding of the ball, the one angle I saw (SA TV) was that for me it seemed before he grounded it his hand was over the dead ball line. Im probably wrong ... but just adding to the spice of speculation.

 

[TRF C A Iversen]

dont be a arrogant dick mate

Hey don't personally insult me. I didn't insult you. Arrogant? What happened all year last year?

 

[cyRil]

I thought the same as it was happening Cymro.

 

[TRF C A Iversen]

I thought the same as it was happening Cymro.

Could be, but read it in the paper tomorrow and it'll still be a win. :lol:

Did feel gutted for John Smit though. He looked like he was taking it pretty hard.

but please no one blame the ref for missing the forward pass leading up to mccaws try, he was 10 metres behind,and mr iverson theres no need to gloat this soon after a defeat,and i never gloated lAst year as i was wasnt posting and have no need to after victory

The touch judge could have clearly called it anyway, he was pretty much in line.

Craig ... no need to be a bad winner either. You can say ... look in the paper and all that, im just saying that I thought the try was a bit dodgy, simply stating a fact, that is all.

Hmmm, does someone think I'm gloating right at him specifically? I'm not going to tack a list on of all the particular fans from last year who deserve their come-uppence. Just realise I'm not speaking to you personally.

Do we have the world cup? NO. Do we cop it a lot that we struggle to win it? YES. So, it's all gold when someone wants to mock NZ, but it's boo-hoo time for others if we celebrate?

Okay. So, what have I said that's specifically bad winner? There wasn't a whole lot of that sentiment going around at all last year mate and that's 100% true.

Where's the bad loser comment for the McCaw stuff I responded to?

Geez, I'm having a laugh and even using the right emoticons too, like this. :lol:
