Springboks vs All Blacks @ Ellispark

[qwerty51]

Very different refereeing to Nigel Owens.

On a side note: Like many on this forum, I watch plenty of rugby. I have NEVER seen a Springboks game where Eben Etzebeth hasn't got into some form of a 'scrap'. Gotta love it.

Should've been a penalty there, Vermeulen took McCaw out way past the ruck.

He couldn't see him.

Bob Skindstad and Owen Nkumane are seriously as one-eyed as our commentators.

Miraculous recovery from Read.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Soft penalty there by JdP. Ruined all the momentum the Bokke had built up. NZL were looking very vulnerable. Not sure that Barnsey got it right, but he loves to make sure that his whistle gets a good workout.

 

[FilthRugby]

Nup. No way is that a penalty. Really annoying, because the Boks had the momentum.

"I feel sorry for Jannie". Cos he got caught? These commentators....

Barnes loves the defensive penalty. Annoying, complete opposite of Nigel.

 

[badabing59]

Another hard done by penalty....

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Beaugan Barrett claws back 3 points from the penalty spot. 23 minutes gone. NZL 6 SAF 7.

Can someone explain to me the accidental offside ruling? Not knowing who the ball came off is not accidental - it's accidental if you didn't mean to touch it. Should've been a NZ penalty.

 

[FilthRugby]

Very good point, Qwerty.

I wish Owens could of officiated this match.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

1st scrum. 25 minutes.

48 Tackles by NZL, SAF = 19 tackles.

 

[qwerty51]

Pollard is having a cracker.

Loves a run and is good at it. Such a contrast to Stain.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Meat pie for HP under the sticks.

SAF 14 - NZL 6.

You have to think that the Saffers have this game in the bag if they can keep the intensity up.
27 minutes gone.

 

[Bairdy]

First line of defence broken. Not often we've seen that this year

He's got you blokes again tonight hasn't he?
