Awesome game of rugby and a great win by the Bokke!!!!!! Had me grabbing my heart pills, that was close. Our line-outs were a bit of a mess at some stages. We need to look better after the ball and our defense must be better at turn-overs. Also thought that our forwards would dominate in the scrums but sadly not. The Kiwi's played some great footy and they could easily have won. But a win is a win. Onto Cape Town!

Also, great win by the Lions, giving the Bulls a bit of a hiding.

I thought it was as good as usual but the AB's were spoiling badly. Do agree on the line outs, they were an absolute shambles, hope they're worked on for the next game!
 
My wife's company (international company) sponsors the All Blacks, and she has the opportunity to see them on Friday at a company event... I'm hoping to crack an invite.

We're both huge Springbok supporters, but to meet the ABs is an awesome opportunity too
Now I don't own an ABs jersey and have zero intention at all of wearing one, but would wearing a Springbok jersey be rude?

Silly question I know, and we have heaps of respect for the sport... but... would be cool getting a pic with these guys while wearing a springbok jersey

Why wouldn't you. It's far from any kind of disrespect at all. They're in SA and they're professional sportsmen, they wouldn't think any less of you. Hope you get the invite and have an awesome evening.

The only concern here is how the wife takes it.

Are you new to marriage?

The two South African derbies have been postponed to the start of 2025 as they clash with the Currie Cup playoffs. So no Saffer teams in action over the weekend of the 20th.

That is okay so we get curry cup and then the other matches will follow after it's okay.
 
The All Blacks haven't lost four in a row to their great rivals since 1949, when the Springboks won the test series 4-0.

Big weekend ahead!

The ABs lost twice to Rhodesia in 49 too. They also lost 2 tests in one day cause they had AB v Boks and Maori vs Australia playing on the same Saturday...

I love this podcast. Keo has excellent rugby knowledge and Zel's comments are a blast. One of the best rugby talk shows out there.

Seriously good!! So much of what they say resonates. Top, top punditry!!

Take a listen to Harry Jones, this guy also surprised me, once I got over his faux sounding American accent. Unbelievable insights and a staunch Bok supporter...
