All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham
-
What a crock of shit!
-
I did not expect to get up at 4:30 and watch our biggest ever loss.
-
lineout, scrum and handling can all be fixed, the mental scar from this, well, that will be tougher
-
Hammering
Boks barely got out of 3rd gear
-
Well done Boks. Smashed us.
-
Boks have had their hands on the ground all night when going over the ball at the ruck. Pity we never adjusted.
-
Thank God that’s over. Stuff of nightmares.
-
Full foster result there, even I was getting a little bit hopeful about the cup, but back to reality
-
Physically smashed
-
Well played Boks. Smoked us.
-
Disappointing but losing a man for 45 minutes is not easy to recover from.
Not great but we can move past this.
-
Now the players have a reminder of the level required in the coming weeks

I think they were down to 14 for longer than that.
-
Well done, Bokkies. Enjoy!
-
Worst performance of Foster's tenure? Worst of Ryan's.
-
@Damo well 55 for him really....
-
We were worried about injuries. But it’s the headspace that was smashed.
Reminds me of Schmidt’s 2 RWC exits with Ireland.

Even if he does win the cup, this is not good enough.
Really? I'd have thought winning the RWC would come before a warm-up game.
-
Never seen an ABs team physically dominated like this. Men against boys.
-
ABs buttfucked the Boks 33-6 in 2007, yet Boks won the World Cup. World Cup is not always won by the most consistent team, as we all know. Good game Boks, shit game ABs
-
Tupou Vaii and ALB are wasted shirts on the bench for me.
Prefer Lord and Finau if he could be squeezed in.
-
well that brought us back down to earth lol

Yes because ABs should be better than this, the RWC is top priority but it is not everything

This game wouldn't even be played if there wasn't a RWC.

Ive seen it before, many times. But the likes of DC, Cory Jane , Dagg et al, caught their kicks and got us back down the field.
Beaudy and Richie are not doing that for us.
We are under the pump in our own half for a disproportionate amount of time.
-
Foster will probably say our only loss this year which came at the right time and a good wake up for us not to become complacent heading into the WC.

Really? When? Never to this degree imo.
-
Well at least this year we won’t be able to say we weren’t given a warning…….
-
@Tordah and you see the ABs going to the final after that? We wont get passed the QF.
-
@Tordah Exactly. It's a meaningless game at the end of the day. Rather it happens here than in the QF.
-
Some of the pre match talk coming out of the ab camp about wanting to make a statement is looking a bit comical now
-
Hey didn't Telea and Roigard play well! Shame about the other 21. I found that excruciating with everything so slowed down. Wasn't the game meant to be sped up this year.
Anyways we can't cope with this style of officiating against an ultra powerful team. We'll done South Africa

Was still played and with our best team available foster collected another record, worst ever loss outright. To go with his previous equal worst ever loss. And first loss to Argentina's. Twice. Lowest ever world ranking. Worst loss versus Oz. Worst loss versus France. Home Series lots in Pro era. Etc etc

100% this.

The worst game I have ever seen us play. Just fucking depressing. Right now I am not sure I want to watch the world cup. Just a fucking joke !!!

I’ll be honest I thought the team seemed flat during the Anthem and Haka, just like their minds were already on France. SA to their credit were excellent and must be a serious challenger for the cup.

A statement was made, flat track bullies only
-
I don't know what was more painful. The AB performance, the ref, or the commentators I had to listen to.
Foster and Ryan have got a huge reality check.

Not necessarily, but I wouldn't write them off. Remember France losing to Tonga in the 2011 RWC pools? Who would have thought they'd get into the final and almost win?
ABs have shown earlier this year that they CAN play very well and dominate the Boks physically, just today the Boks won that contest, and quite clearly.
