It was painful to watch......it looked more like school rugby than a test match.....

Montgomery had a blooming awful game....we could have won it if he had converted all his kicks......and that pathetic drop goal attempt....

Larkham seemed in his own world as well......

The skill level in the last clash between South Africa and Australia was shocking.

Tonight the All Blacks will be trying to get a perfect win record in this years tri-nations.

The All Blacks won the tri-nations two weeks ago when they beat Australia 31-27 in a hard fought win. In the past the AB's would of lost close games like that. Tuquiri impressed for Australia. It's a pity he will be remembered for his spear tackle. :(

Last week the All Blacks had a easy 45-26 win over South Africa.

Mr white = "The Dancing Queen"......"look at me, look at me"
The worst thing they ever did was mike the Refs, they all think they are bloody movie stars.
It's half time, imho opinion the AB's should win, if there is any continuity of play.....Jerry Collins is "into it"., Carter is busting the line every time.......cheerist that guy is only 24 :shock:
Seth Efrika are a real Jekyl n Hyde team,......they are far better than last time.
Good to see the Ox go boring in to a maul, doing his usual rib breaking thing with his melon, then come lurching out with a dent in it :evil:

South Africa have ended the All Blacks run of 15 wins in a row by winning 21-20. It was a good game to watch. :D

The ground was under size and that helped the Springboks. The AB's prefer wide ground with the pace they have in the backline.

With the world cup a year away the AB's need to work on line outs, and sort out discipline problems. So'oialo cost the AB's twice with a disallowed try in the first half and the penalty that gave the Springboks the win. :cry:

The way the All Blacks played against an understrength South African team doesn't give me much hope for their chances at at rugby world cup.

They won the match but the way they played left alot to be desired. I do hope they play better in the Tri nations decider against Australia next week.

Thats a polite description of the match. :cry: The scrums were a mess as were rucks and mauls. Ball handling left alot to be desired. I can't come up with a positive apart from the final result. :twisted:
