Owens had a shocker, as usual. At least he's consistently biased against the Boks, if that counts for anything...?

It should - for his dismissal. Seriously. Refs like this give otherwise decent to ordinary officials a bad name. I have to wonder if that little turd is on the take.

Jip. This is what I was afraid of. Eben has been branded a thug and like Bakkies, he will be more readily "seen" to do something wrong.

Given the conditions it was a good performance from the Boks. Tough, gritty, pugnacious performance!! Lambie's tactical kicking was superb today!!

Lambie did better today and looked more like a flyhalf than the last two games. I still would prefer him on Fullback.

Haha, yes he was very poor today. From the first scrum where he penalised Jannie but the Pommie loose head slipped the bind, to not having a word with the pomms as he did to us for infringements at the breakdown...

Well done boks. Ruan had a shocker and Lambie despite what Matfield would have you believe had an ordinary game even with his new freedom.

We were very lucky today. England's hands let them down. About 5 times in our 22 better teams wouldve converted it into points.

Ref was bad but Naas pointed out we shouldn't have scored the try due to an offside.

Boks need to learn to either close out a game or play for 80 minutes.

I feel for their captain because I would also have gone for the penalty as they should've gotten the kick off with half a minute to play and been able to work in a drop goal or penalty.

3 from 3 and hopefully a successful 2013

I'm not. He blew a shot at the win. Our pack was struggling to hold their maul. I would have nutted up and kicked for the corner.
 
An All Black player got cited!!!! WTF???

Hore cited for Davies incident
25 November 2012, 22:07

New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited by the International Rugby Board (IRB) for allegedly punching Wales lock Bradley Davies during the All Blacks' 33-10 win in Cardiff on Saturday.

Hore appeared to catch Davies with a punch from behind in the game's early stages and the Cardiff Blues forward later went to hospital for precautionary examinations.

"Andrew Hore, hooker for New Zealand, has been cited by the IRB's independent Citing Commissioner for allegedly striking an opponent during the match between Wales and New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday," said a statement from the Six Nations Committee.

"The relevant incident occurred in the second minute of the match and involved Wales lock forward Bradley Davies.

"The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB's appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed."

I saw that incident, and the Davies guy clearly attempted to gouge Hore's fist with his face.

Well our lineouts were brilliant all night, so that might have factored in.

Also did anyone notice that if the Pommie lock/prop combo heard the call, there was a receiver waiting with his foot outside of play to field Lambies kick....... poor communication from the pomms.
 
Pretty much, he will miss the England test, then 3 warm up matches that he would never of had taken part in for the highlanders
