Congrats South Africa , well played and well deserved . Can see the Bok playing extremely well for the next ten years now , great to see , respect from NZ.
Ons moet altyd hierdie all blacks gemoer wees! Kumnandi ukubona abafana basekhaya bebonisa ukuthembisa okulukhulu. Well done boys, the Springbok jersey's r waiting for you
After watching all the post match captain interviews i can safely assume the Nz captain is a well spoken humble fella. Respect. Australia will always be my team to support but nz come in at second. Win or lose as long as my SH teams put their heart into it.
For a start, 40-30 isn't a hammering you moron; it's an awesome game, secondly there is a whole contingent of interested people who living overseas who cannot watch the game live, or hear about the score locally.
Unfortunately , due to the huge media pressure on most top level performers in sport through ignorant comments, the performers and especially their management have been reduced to only making uninteresting statements of the obvious followed by over praise of the loser followed by brushing off their own performance as nothing special when often is is worth so much more. This has subsequently reduced live commentary and subsequent reviews often to a ridiculous situation of must not offend anyone, anything or any possibility of being in anyway controversial about any performance for fear of offence or criticism from anyone, stupidity in essence. A great shame the media has still not learn't to accept opinions differ and can cause opposing views. Saying nothing in a roundabout manner causes resentment from most sport enthusiasts and often spoils the true action as it unfolds. COME ON LADIES AND GENTS !, get a grip. A great game to watch and some good signs for players coming through for both countries , also a lot of mistakes i think , that cannot be made on the next step up.
@ EJ. If it is not the ref, then it is food poisoning. Is NZ population size going to be the new excuse when ever they lose against SA? Grow up you pathetic crybaby.
EJ Ioane it doesn't matter about the how big number of the registered players. It's about how intense the rugby priority of the country. NZ the only one that place rugby in special and perfect position. In NZ Rugby recognized as national sport, categorised as most popular sport and already becoming the national identify. Perfectly without any racial policy
fahad ak lol. you mean the same way South Aficans keep using the racial quotas as thier excuse for thier failures? You guys didnt use that excuse in 2007.Talk about cry babies. Dont blame the world for your countrys problems.
EJ Ioane what happen while SA won RWC 2007? Most of the ANC member didn't congratulate, but they critized the team that just took 2 non white players. They force to build a new rugby culture in the team and effecting badly. Black or Colored people, yes they are very great sport men in Boxing, Athletic, Soccer, MMA. But it took long time to build rugby talents around them. That's the reasons why SA rugby struggling so hard and so long for the last 10 years, meanwhile they are adapting a new culture.
Why are these kiwi fans so rude, you are all so inhumane. Watching from the sidelines calling us brainless and thugs? So many of you are being such children... if we were brainless thugs why did we beat you? Just enjoy the game damnit
Listen sweetheart, you need to listen to some of that sedated music because you have lost it! You stated all Kiwi fans are rude, really? Then you demonstrate how not to be rude by calling them inhumane? I'm a Kiwi fan and what makes a good game is a strong opposition, good for South Africa, I'm happy they won.
All black rugby is cult rugby, it has an ugliness to it, a desperation about the game. Bokke are far from perfect, but bokke play with passion, thats what rugby is all about. In our very messed up country we can still compete. That is passion for you.
No excuses Kris , we were well beaten on the day , the young Bok certainly deserved the win. These young AB`s will take a good long look at themselves , work out where they need to improve , then set the training in motion and overcome any obstacles in the way. Can guarantee these young fellas will progress into the top teams of the future , mark my words . cheers.
nesianrugby the kiwis don't only have the worlds best rugby team they have the worlds worst fans and worse trolls. In typical kiwi fashion, they like dishing it out and DON'T LIKE GETTING IT BACK!
Lol yeah, that's another popular way of doing down here in nz. It may look funny, but its definitely deadly if u know how to do. Many different ways, that's why I love the goosey
