The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

[cavedog]

Very good game from the boks. I saw a sneaky trip tackle from Richie Mounga but when I switched now to Sky Sports NZ guess what.

First thing they say again is very questionable calls from officials... Sigh

Must've gone both ways because I thought I saw a few dodgy ref calls against the boks.

Ok... so prediction bragging rights...

My prediction was: boks by 15: 40 - 25.

Final score: 43 - 28

100% on the points difference.... and not too far off the points

Very good call.

Well done.

You know they had a great game when you think why the hell was De Allende not man of the match. Then again Eben could also been MOTM. Maybe Arendse.

I just saw the old SA flag in the crowd. I’m going to bite my tongue and leave this for later. I don’t want this negative energy for the next few hours.

I will admit I was not a Krappies fan after game 2. But man oh man...has he changed my mind!!

2 brilliant tests in a row from this man.

Easy win in the end. Well done boks.

Dude! Same here, his defence is insane for a scrumhalf, definitely deserves to be picked as starter, must also add just like Krappies, Ethan Hooker is still inexperienced and green, but also did very well in defence, high balls and overall play against waaaaaay more experienced opposition.

Does Deon Fourie have pics of Rassie on Epstein Island? He's not even close to the second best hooker or all round loose forward in the country. We started losing lineouts after he came on.
Hope Rassie retires him when he turns 40.

 

[sand_man]

Unreal that despite all he has achieved there still some who believe they know better.

Yes. A number of contenders.

I need to rewatch the test but on first viewing in a noisy pub, the general consensus was we totally dominated.

Once again NZ scored a meaningless try. They've done that in every one of the 4 tests ie a try at the death making the losing margin more respectable. In the case of Ellis park a flattering winning margin.

50-14 would have been an accurate reflection of last night's game.

Magnificent.

Yeah that score was very flattering for NZ and cost us some ranking points.
