Boks Vs Blacks

[gingergenius]

Anyone else getting a painfully slow stream from ARC? I really can't bear Grant Fox. Saffas are ******* all over NZ and apparently it's Rolland's fault.

Could you pm me plz ?

 

[Sir Speedy]

Sublime strike from Donald. 17 - 13.

Rokocoko isn't very reliable under the high ball...

 

[Sir Speedy]

Weepu... Two shocking passes.

 

[gingergenius]

more **** commentating. 'springboks don't win very often against the ABs'. pfft

oh, and 'there's still another to go next week in durban. that's not at altitude'

 

[Incredible Schalk]

:bravo: Bokke :bravo:

 

[munross]

Bokke is bakgat!Brossow named man of the match, well done Boks!

 

[shtove]

Shocking lack of confidence from AB players, all those fumbles. And when are they going to field a scrumhalf? Leonard was awful, and Weepu looks like he should be playing some other position.

SA have the world's most lethal winger, and the only way he can get in to the game is by chasing kick offs?!

Good battle between McCaw and Brussow. I give it to Brussow because he ripped the ball off McCaw at about 65 mins.

 

[cyRil]

South Africa should have won by 20 really. Pienaar controlled well but place-kicked badly and Morne Steyn place-kicked well but controlled poorly. I thought the flankers played very well and Matfield was wonderful once again.
Smith's try was pure class and Donald had his best game for New Zealand.
Also, Eaton was immense when he came on....

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!11!!11one!!oneone1!!!1!

You're a cloth-eared ********. Why don't you just leave out the part of what Fox said that validates his statement!

"..springboks don't win very often against the ABs in Tri-Nations"

Tri-Nations Wins

All Blacks 21
Springboks 8 (including today)

I'd call that "Not very often"

True, prior to Tri-Nations you had a much better record, but then you did have the advantage of having the 16th player (i.e. your cheating "home-town harry" referees like Gert Bezuidenhout, Ian Gourlay, Piet Robbertse and "Boetie" Malan) when you were playing at home.

 

[cyRil]

Oooooooooooh someone's bitten his bum!
And just because GG supports Saracens doesn't make him a Saffa!!

 

[shtove]

What did you think of Rolland?

Seemed very clear in his refing. Could have allowed a SA advantage in first half for try opportunity in right corner. And there was plenty of arm binding on beast's side of the scrum that he let go.

 

[bristol-iain]

Ref did ok. People in the stream I was watching were banging on about how crap he was but he was fair and didnt stand for crap around the breakdown.

I thought he was pretty good overall though there were some glaring cockups.

► 31 min - He missed an obvious knock-on from Botha & a minute later, Nonu was pinged for offside. - 3 pts to SA
► 41 min - Smith wasn't anywhere near offside from the kick. I have looked at a stop frame that shows him a metre behind the kick - 3 pts to SA
► 56 min - Weepu penalised for hands in the ruck, except it wasn't a ruck because Weepu was the only player on his feet - 3 pts to SA

Both players were binding incorrectly, but since the scrums were not going down, its immaterial.

Now lets look at how I did with my prediction list;

►McCaw will be targeted and smashed with some late, high, illegal hits; nothing is more certain
- only saw one by who else but the usual thug

►Leonard will be found wanting so perhaps Weepu will come on early.
- yep. Leonard had a shocker

►If the AB's try any stupid 50/50 flat or miss passes out wide, Habana will punish them for it.
- Habana didn't, but JdV almost did

►The Boks rush defence will operate offside all day and the referee will do nothing about it.
- Boks didn't use much of what I would call rush defence

►The Boks will fill their usual quota of taking out support players off the ball.
- yep. plenty of that going on. Par fior the course really

►The Beast and Tony Woodcock are in for a titanic struggle (no quarter will be given or asked)
- didn't rise the the heights I expected

►The ABs will be pinged for going off their feet at ruck time.
- yes they did, and yes they were. When will they learn?

►If the AB's give away any penalties within 60m, one of the Steyns will punish them severely.
- that happened 4 times

►There will be at two dropped goals scored, both by the Boks
- that didn't happen, but F Steyn did try once

►At least one player (could be from either side) will get a yellow card
- close but Rolland kept his hand out of his pocket today

►At least one player will cop a season ending injury
- Jean de Villiers looks gone for the season
