Springboks v All Blacks

[Stargazer]

Wow, red! A bit harsh?

[Wairau]

Red was excessive, think that only deserved yellow at most.

[Chris B.]

Jeez - no way red. Not that it makes a difference with five minutes left.

[African Monkey]

Red or not it's a stupid play from De Allende. Players should know how strict refs are on that stuff these days.

I would give man of the match to Malcom Marx right now, what a player

And he gives an assist for a crucial 7 point try, 65 minutes up on the clock

And a try from the maul!

[Stargazer]

Try Marx. He deserved that. Quick conversion. ABs lead by one point.

[Stargazer]

ABs need to be disciplined now!

[Stargazer]

Yesss. One point win. Man, that was close! Great test.

[Toddy]

Bullsh*t card handed out by the ref.

M.Marx has been great. What a player.

[African Monkey]

Great test. Unlucky Springboks, on another day they win that game.

[Wairau]

Tough tough match, hard luck South Africa, well done ABs.

This game will be remembered for the TMO decision and red card. It went on for extra 10 mins in one half. Bok fans said if we win by 1 point it is a win. If we lose by 1 point it is a still a fucking loss. What a turnaround from their worst loss in history. Overall I am proud enough to say a great passionate game of rugby. Boks could have won if they had started with some other 1st choice players.

ABs never seemed to adjust to breakdown free for all. TKB was so much better than TJP has been as impact player. Handling errors still seem to be unbelievably high. DMAC is playing more like Super self and Havili looks keke a natural. Best game I have seen from NMS since 2015.

@rocky-rockbottom

But ABs also failed to convert 2 dead certain tries so kind of balances out.

[rustycruiser]

Pollard needs to start. Assuming he is not broken again

[Bones]

@rocky-rockbottom du toit was 7....but that's blindside.

[Bones]

Thanks de Allende! You are my kinda dumbass. Rough card, but no one else made you put yourself in the cross hairs...

Crotty huge. DMac only the one glaring error, good on ya fella, those rocket shoes certainly made up for it. Havili is made for black.

What a match, brutal. Top stuff springboks, great to see the passion. Probably would have won if they hadn't lost.

[Stargazer]

I hope Havili gets a start soon. So much promise! That try assist was brilliant.

[Samurai Jack]

Yeah, loved that game. Test rugby at its best. The free for all at the breakdown lead to a pretty physical game.
However, if any South African complains about Pocock 2011 Rugby World Cup geting a free for all and not supporting his own body wieght......Boks No.2 Marx tonight had exactly the same free for all. It was silly at times.

Late unnecessary contact made it a penalty.. using the elbow made it a yellow...making contact with the neck/head made it red. Left the ref no choice.
