2012 Rugby Championship Round 4 Game 1 New Zealand vs South Africa - 15 Sep

[Bardon]

SA making great ground again with the rolling maul, but look out of ideas once it's stopped.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Goosen will start next time out for SA after nailing that kick. If they'd had him on earlier they might be winning.

A stack of Saffer posters would agree with that. Plenty want to see Lambie start as well.

 

[Ash]

Boks just pick and drive and give away the inevitable penalty. Need to do more than that.

They were getting over the ad line more often than not though.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

There is the ball game.

 

[whatty]

Dam we have some rough calls tonight

 

[Ash]

ABs get a penalty out in front. Thought it went the wrong way though, the ABs seeme to be holding on.

 

[FrankLind]

If Steyn had no missed so many kicks, the Boks would be well clear.

 

[Ash]

Definite Boks penalty. Woeful call ref.

 

[Ash]

Yeah the Boks have been their own worst enemies. That and Meyer's obsession with M Steyn.

 

[Ash]

5 to go, ABs 7 up, that's the game.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

73 minutes gone and the Darkness are on 15. I picked Darklness by 15 (not total 15) on Superbru.

SAffers doing OK to restrict points by Darkness during Sin Bin of greyling.

Cruden lines up 22 out in Centre field and score now 18-11.

Lambie on for Kirchner, Strauss off for Lieberburger(Spelling)

Greyling now back on with 4 min to go.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

5m scrum?

SA knocked on? With the charge down I thought they'd have the scrum? Anyhow, game on.

 

[whatty]

I give up

 

[Hugh Jarse]

5m scrum is correct call. Carried back by NZ.

 

[whatty]

5m scrum is correct call. Carried back by NZ.

No it was not a PENALTY advantage

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hard to pick MOM. Dagg for Darkness. Pinnear for Saffer.

(M Steyn's boot is MOM for Darkness!)

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Greyling OMG.

 

[crangs81]

Cheers Heyneke Meyer. Your continual selection of Morne Steyn was a master stroke for an AB's victory

 

[FrankLind]

McCaw - legend. Slowing down? I don't think so.

 

[Bardon]

Greyling again probably lucky for him he's going to be suspended for the rest of the RC as he'd be out on that display anyway.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

McCaw - legend. Slowing down? I don't think so.

Indeed. He looked pretty darn quick tonight.
