Is this going to be the biggest NZ rugby defeat in their history?

It may just be, one image I found:

35 - 7.
28 points. That is their heaviest defeat.

 

[backstreetboy]

Well damn the world cup is on. Going to be a good one.

France licking their lips... Ireland, have been put on notice...

 

[Katelknaap]

Congrats Bokke, probably the best performance I've witnessed for a long long time.

 

[Agent_Smith]

That was almost surreal. NZ just completely outplayed.

Man, it's gonna take me a while to process what we've just watched.

Morne Du Plessis was Bok captain when I started watching Rugby, and I've never seen an All Black game like that.

NZ had a red card. Their line out and scrum was very bad and couldn't deal with the rush defense.
Nothing went right for them.

I like the center combo we had. Moodie does give us something at 13. Arendse is always a menace.

Libbock played well and kicked to poles well so that is good news.

Samsung tv anyone

Hot damn what a game!! Unbelievable pressure from the boks from the get go. Just goes to show...deprive them of the ball and put them under pressure and finally: release that BOMB squad all at once

Manie 100% upped his game. He finally started wearing the Pollard undies for good luck

Pity that when we win, the ref was NOT bias but if we loose its the refs fault.
Anyway great victory.
Also reading this thread the last week or two much was said about Manie's kicking, puzzled me as people quickly mentioned Pollard and as far as I remember he had only a 63% success rate going into the semi finals in the previous WC.
Also are you aloud to play with jewelry? Sure I saw a wedding ring on Faf's finger

Very little chance of Bokke winning the RWC this year. I give them a punchers chance as you can never say what will happen in sport with absolute certainty.

If you think that, imagine what you think about NZ!

What is an interesting fact is that we were no 3 ranked in the world before the game and NZ was no 2. We should swap places meaning that at the world cup the top 2 ranked teams in the world will be in the same group. Us and Ireland. I don't think that has ever happened.

Good to see the game being slowed has been fixed.
The TMO can make his own decisions so it is not just one ref but the ref and TMO combo.
Discipline will be key with two refs looking making decisions.
I am sure there is going to be complaining at the world cup about the TMO who has much more powers.

Back to people on this thread and the average SA supporter always complaining about the ref.
I just read the All Blacks FB page and one of their supporters complained about the ref. He was flooded and schooled by his fellow AB supporters and one even told him that he sounds like a Bok supporter.
