All Blacks vs Springbokke @ Wellington

[Hugh Jarse]

Coaches ringing changes. Coles off for Old Man River Mealamu. Le Roux off and Lambie on for Sefrika.

70 minutes. no change to score. NZ 14 SAF 10.

So much for my bold prediction of 15-20 point margin for The Darkness.

 

[Colin Windon]

Marshall is a classy commentator. I wonder how Kearnsey will measure up?

 

[Dctarget]

Hooper's a 7 and he plays wing...
Habana's a wing and he plays 7....

@boyo, Saffer and Kiwi posters are too bloody nervous tonight.

Only Waiopehu Old boy.

I'm here.


Sort of.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Pressure throw here from the battleship

A foofer valve?

If Strauss and Pienarr were still on the park theyd have won this already.

Du Plessis and Hougaard have been abysmal and even I, a neutral, have found myself screaming at the tv.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

3 minutes to go. will the Darkness just grind it up with one out runners to wind the clock down, now that they finally have possession?

Nah. Saffer 2nd string scrum shunt kiwis and get the pill.

 

[Dctarget]

fuuuuuuck great scrum from SA, turns ball over. they have a scrum 5 out from the black's line

 

[cyclopath]

Idiotic play by the Bokke there running into touch. Panic stations it seems.

 

[Dctarget]

and youngen Lood de Jager gets tackled into touch. Blacks win the lineout, boots it out. 14-10 the darkness wins.

 

[FrankLind]

And that is why the Boks are our greatest rivals.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

1 try apeice. Siren goes. NZ scrape through. 14-10.

SAF Try Hendricks, Conversion & Dropkick to Pollard.
NZ Try McCaw, Penalties - Barrett, Cruden (2).

 

[Kaz]

The great escape. Commiserations SA. You played with real ambition at the end. Tough luck.

 

[Bardon]

No patience from SA in the end, the final pass was silly. Was a really gripping game.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Welcome back to our NZ and SAF members. The tension is all over for you now and you can relax.

Much closer than many non-SAF/NZ folk predicted. Something about games between SAF and NZ brings out the best in both mobs.

Another titanic heavy weight battle between the big kids on the block.

Bloody good entree to get ready for tonights big game.

Tough luck for JdV in his 100th test. A classy competitor.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Thank fucking Christ that's over, don't think I could've handled another few minutes. Don't often say this but a draw would've been a fair result in that neither side really deserved to lose.

Beer time now.

 

[whatty]

Almost, just not good enough. Some good signs with Pollard.
Good close game.
Certainly better than watching some naff NFL Blue.

 

[boyo]

Beer time now.

WTF?

Have you been waiting?
