Springboks vs All Blacks @ Ellispark

[Bairdy]

The Saffers were livid when the ref effected the result in the Wallabies match, but are more than happy to benefit.

Edit: I spoke too soon, thinking it would be a yellow.

But this was the fair, right call. No one can feel hard done by.

Great kick son.

 

[Bairdy]

I don't remember Lambie kicking long ones? Although he's a Saffer..

Saffers by virtue can kick from within their half.

Schalk Burger was completely offside RUBBISH CALL

That's what McCaw did vs Waratahs

 

[Bairdy]

The 16th man played their part well. Titanic clash. Absolutely epic.

 

[badabing59]

Well done bokke. Tough hard rugby, doesn't get much better than these games ('cept when we win of course)

Barnsey, what can I say....

Regarding the last penalty, the conspiracy theorist in me would think that the saffer broadcasters deliberately put that burger incident up to draw ref's attention to it. Can we add that to the Kurtley Beale thread?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

WHAT A GAME? Classic but not quite as good as last years match, but an absolute pearler of a game none the less.

Saffers deserve their victory. Better team on the night. NZL commentators starting to blame TMO intervention.

Part of home advantage. Can't complain, it was a penalty and if it happened in the first 10 mins there would be no complaints.

Wrong call for the last penalty.

Perhaps it evens out those 2 bullshit deliberate knockdown calls. Just because you go at it with 1 hand, doesn't mean you're trying to deliberately knock it on - they can catch it like that as well.

Didn't wanna say anything during the game, as it would have looked like sour grapes had we lost.

Totally had the feel off Barnes making that up as he went as soon as it happened, at least on Matfield's.

 

[Joe King]

Interesting strategy from the all blacks at the end there. Looked like they were just going for the penalty. Can anyone explain why the penalty went to SA?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Probably not the best thing for the Men in Gold who will have to face The Darkness in a fortnight and they will be keen to restart their unbeaten games count again.

Could get messy at Lang Park. Dead rubber, my arse.

Duane Vermeulen was all over the ball, that was legit but Schalk Burger entered the ruck from the side without making the tackle, it was a carbon copy of McCaw's penalty that gifted the Waratahs the title.

 

[Joe King]

Just seems like the ruck area is such a lottery. A couple of penalties/turn overs could have been called either way thru the game.

 

[Joe King]

Well, maybe not a huge lottery, but a bit of ambiguity.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Messam oh fuck what have you done. You've shat the bed, the settee and all up and down the drapes. It'll never come out and you'll have to live with it.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

@Dismal Pillock, That is a lot of faeces over the Messam furniture and furnishings.

Meanwhile, is the Kiwi love affair with Wayne Barnes back on again?

The decision to turn down 6 points in gift penalty kicks by Sir Ritchie GOAT may have cost them the game.

Interesting, since Craig Joubert apparently admitted getting that call wrong...

Yeah but I reckon he was a big part of your boys even coming back to be in the mix to get the win. They were chasing all night,
