Go Bokke

why cant we tackle? seems as if the ABs have vasoline in their legs as we are so kak today whereas tackling is concerned

nothing beats a Boks v All Blacks match

The smartest team won.

Well done to the ABs - NZ may celebrate with It,s Ewe it's Ewe it's Ewe and all I want is Ewe...

We were competitve for 60 minutes, but as soon as the subs came on, our game started unraveling - in the last 15 minutes we were poor (even against 14 men :) and we could not even win our line-outs - so that was disappointing - even in the first half we kept on trying to score some tries from a line-out - would have thought that after we were stopped the 2nd time, someone would have realised that we do not have the bulk (or know-how?) to out-maul them :S

Well done to the All Blacks - the best team over 80 minutes won the game (tu)

Agree Frodo

Why did Meyer substitute 2 players in the front row at a critical scrum on the AB try line.......for me that was the turning point in the game as we were dominating the AB scrum up until that moment.We didn't score then ,was turnover ball and the rest is history.
Kirschner has to be replaced as he is just not good enough at this level.....his direct kick into touch after the ball had been passed back into the 22m cost us a line out throw in to the AB on our 22m and they scored.....
What a great game of rugby by the worlds top 2 sides and can't wait for next years championships.....well done to the deserved winners NZ!

WE absolutely right. Attacking scrum 5 meters from the line and scrum working very well and you take off Bismark?????????????????? Are you mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Our tackling let us down badly. Great game though, one of the best I have seen. Ref was excellent. (tu)

Great game but we lost it through not tackling.NZ centres were allowed to get into gear and that was it.
Would prefer a fit Frans Steyn at Full Back.Does anybody know what the story is with him?

and thats one of the reasons why I have been posting that Meyer should go. Its ok to beat the likes of Scotland, a weak Aussie team or Argentina. Wales and France will test us as well and Meyer had better have his game in plan otherwise we could well lose those matches in the coming weeks

For me put Lambie at fullback and leave him there for a few games.......poor kid doesn't know if he is in or out!Frans Steyn overrated and a definite no go as had his chance and cocked it.....

I was at the game, it was absolutely phenomenal, any word how willem Alberts is doing
