Canan Moodies try that was adjudged to be offsides actually wasn't. He's holding Mapimpis jersey when the ball comes out. There's an angle where you can clearly see it. The tmo never got to see the angle.

AFAIK just holding on to a jersey has not counted as being bound for a long time already. You have to be in full contact from the elbow down.

So he was not bound and thus offside.

All the Rugby pundits and analasists have been saying, over the past few weeks that they see the RWC as between 3 treams:
Iteland
France
New Zealand.

With the Boks a bit further behind in 4th.

Then all the other teams way behind with slim chances of getting to the final.

It will be interesting to see what they say now.

They have to put some northern countries in there to add hope. Otherwise few in Europe will watch.

The game was exceptional from a Bok perspective and I will savor the win, it is a record one after all.

Some hard work and analysis will follow on the AB Camp and even harder words will fall. I think they will come out snorting in that opening game against France. We definitely didn't do France any favors last night.

"Peaking" in your final warmup game is surely the best time to do so. Better to be on the right side of this result than going into the Cup on the back of a record loss. Can you imagine how we would be moaning is we lost by 28?

It isn't a peak. NZ had 14 then 13 men. Then 14 again.

You guys should really stop watching supper sport. They are very anti SA.

Ohk, initially he was bound to the ruck but holding the jersey when the ball came out. Does holding the jersey not constitute being bound?

Boks are a good 3%-5% where they could be by the time they meet Ireland. Still a few work on's.

NZ down to 13/14 was a direct result of the pressure they were under.

We put them under so much pressure in the 1st 25 minutes, cutting down on their space and time, harassing and hurrying them, forcing them to play 88 minutes under huge duress. Their set piece was under siege from the 1st scrum to the last and long before the red/yellow cards.

It was a fantastic performance against a NZ side that, tbh, didn't look 100% committed to the fixture.

I thought Andre was brilliant and I'd start him ahead of DDA. He's been the form 12 for a number of seasons now for Quins and I just feel DDA is a yard off the pace these days and there question marks over his distribution.

Anyway, big wins against Wales and NZ and we still got 0 world cup points, so let's not good ahead of ourselves.

I got a feeling Fiji is going to dominate England. I can't wait for that match.

I'm really hoping Fiji make the quarters this year.

They've grown up a lot since joining Super Rugby.

England are desperate for a result though.

Should be a cracker!!

Looking forward to it...

This whole game is poor. Appropriate for two second tier sides

Yes England got completely deflated when the rain came.

Now I'm surprised the way the match is panning out. It's school boy stuff man.
