Official Springbok Tri-Nations Thread

I think he needs to remove that Wallaby that's stuck up his ass. :D
 
I have never had a problem with Dickenson. He's rather equal in his decisions.

He has been blowing the game nicely so far. Remember he didn't blow on the Spear, the touch judge pointed it out and made a recommendation.

Appart from that he's been awesome I think
 
Who was the dumn fck that just kicked our posession away when we were on their try-line? :mad:
 
WTF??

If we don't kick possession away we don't commit enough players at the breakdown. And ever since Mujati came on our scrum is under more pressure.
Hope we can still do this but we're kicking away too much!
 
What a drop kick from Steyn :eek::eek:

The TMO should have given 3 points for the effort alone :D
 
Ag shame, just Ag shame... freaking idiot.

What a fight, what a disaster and shame for South African rugby as a whole.
 
I think South Africa was out muscled :(

Key players was not there, but that is not why we lost. I just hope this opens PDV's eyes :o
 
First off I thought it was a great performance by the Boks despite the result. They showed that they are still one of the few teams that can give the All Blacks a run for their money.

A few points....

1. Adrian Jacobs played well and answered all the critics
2. Brian Mujati got shoved around at first when he came on but then seemed to improve later on. If this was because of the ABs prop tiring or not I am not sure. But his initially few scrums had me calling for his head! Perhaps Smit's loss also affected the scrum so it my not all be Mujati's doing.
3. Why do TMOs not take time with decisions that are as important as ones deciding on a try? The "Habana/Carter try decision" and whether it was carried back. The first replay to me showed that Habana did not carry it over but the TMO only looked at it once and decided he did! That sort of incorrect decision could easily have led to a try!
4. It was mentioned by the commentators but I am not sure about Matfield's commitment around the field. He stands off a lot.
5. Captaincy... I wonder how much Smit going off affected the result.
6. Jean De Viliers started slow but once his confidence grew he knocked holes in the All Black back line.
7. Ndungane was missing in action. Barely saw him besides when the ball was kicked into the huge open space on his side of the field.
