Well done Bokke

Well done Mehrts

 

[Up the Guts]

YESSSS

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Phew!

Harrison calling Merhts a peanut

 

[SteveWA]

That was an exceptional game.

 

[Derpus]

That was an amazing game of, to quote Dismal, rugby football

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Well deserved win to the Boks. Outmuscled the AB forwards and dragged them into bokball.

FFS Faf de Klerk was braver and tougher than any of the AB forwards

 

[SteveWA]

I now have to endure my insufferable South African friends tomorrow, but it makes a change from enduring my insufferable Kiwi friends.

 

[cyclopath]

That was mental. Can't imagine 2 other teams producing that spectacle.

 

[KOB1987]

I can’t remember the last game I was so enthused as a neutral! That was fantastic! The last World Cup I fell asleep during the finals

 

[Bullrush]

Mean game Springboks! Deserved the win and for the second week in a row, the AB forwards were found wanting. Except Ardie…

Ye-es rugby football definitely the winner tonight. Or maybe anti-rugby-football. Speaking of which, now I'm stuck with Man U - Everton. What a letdown after that.

Well done boks - never gave up and reaped the rewards this time

Ref was trying to blow the pea out of his whistle at the end though...

Was at the game. Ardie is an absolute tyrant, he had a great game. The front row are seriously lacking at the moment. Jordie Barrett was hugely impressive.

The first two options to box kick out of our 22 at the start of the game, were the wrong option and it cost us points. So was the wipers kick from BB in our own 22 in the second half. Literally a full SA backline there. Basically, we don't have the clout at the moment to know when to go for territory (come back DC!)

SA forwards are bloody big and defend well. The whole SA team played good and balanced rugby, so respect for that.

Willie Le Roux is still the worst international rugby player I've ever seen.

He's gonna go home and make sweet love to that whistle tonight. He was calling anything and everything. Haha.

I have been waiting for the game where Ardie gets to go back to 7. I’m hoping we don’t fall into the ‘Pooper’ trap and move Ardie to 8 just we can get Cane on the field at the same time. While Cane has stepped up in the last couple of years, Ardie’s a boss.
Really disappointed with Akira Ioane. The last 2 weeks were his opportunity to really make the 6 jersey his own and I think he went missing. Was a bit better this week but our 6 and our 12 have not been the same since the departure of Kaino and Nonu.

I hope we see a starting front row of the Tongan Trio during the EOYT.

Yep I was say best of RC

The number 8 for SA is immense -

Vermeulen?

He had a great game last week as well.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

The front row are seriously lacking at the moment.

Totally where it was lost. No shame in it, Nepo and Moody were failures. AGAIN. As they were in RWC2019 semi and as they were last week. AB's lucky to split the 2 week series 1-1 as they didnt have the muscle or leadership to resist getting dragged into playing the other teams style.

Brodie looked and played like a spindly baby compared to the boks locks

I would rather have half-broken penalty magnate Scrote Barrett out there than Paper Tiger Pat. FFS he comes on for impact and immediately starts walking. Like a stiff 45-year old.

Then Ofa comes on for impact and plays like he's limbering up for a fuckign yoga class. Could you possibly please perhaps HURT SOMEONE YOU FUCKING HUGE C**T.
