Boks have been outplayed today. Kick-offs, line outs, defence, converting pressure to points....

Well played All Blacks.

I now understand why people have a problem with Kirchner...no options from this guy, just kick long long or run straight into opposition defence.

Well deserved victory by the All Blacks. Magnificent team. Read has to be best player in the world at the moment. Absolute titan.

There are many options for his position but ffs they keep on playing him, JJ has an injury but yet they play him

It feels a bit blue to me,excuse the pun...

There are some glaringly wrong player selections and game play options and bringing players off options ....... the sooner they are dealt with the better. The only problem is, those players will stay where they are and continue to play dumb and the replacements policy will also likely not change, so yeah.



P.S - I expect the Pretoria fanclub will come swarming in on Monday with excuses and insults coming out of their arses as usual

All Blacks played very well and even scored a few with 14 since our defence sucked badly.

One time we had 5 players around the ball carrier and they failed to tackle.

I can't get over the fact of how many times their forwards outsmarted our back line defense.

I'm a Blue Bulls supporter and I agree that nik naks man should have been replaced after the first 5 f-ups.

No excuses from me drop JJ and Kirchner, they can only do better at the Bulls.

Hats off to the All Blacks. They are truly amazing and the best team in the world. Today they really answered any questions regarding where they stand. They are ahead of everyone.

Springboks. You made me proud. You scored four tries against the All Blacks and that's amazing. You played great rugby and you were beaten by a better team. However...

I see greatness coming. This Springbok team can become great. They made so many strides in the last year. Next year they will be even better.

And last but not least: Nigel Owens. You were outstanding today. It was a great game between the two best teams in the world and you controlled the game superbly.

It was an awesome game. We lost and that sucks but wow! This is why I watch rugby.
