Really disgusting performance.

English commentator is creaming himself.

All over. New Zealand are out.

Well played Bokke.

Limited NZ team exposed and their gun players didn't fire when it counted.

sparky

That was really poor. Very disappointing to see a NZ Rugby team play like that.

Well done Bokke.

Tordah

Blitzboks defence was incredible, unfortunately.

Bones

Yeah outplayed. Might have been nice to get a couple of those blatant breakdown penalties though.

MiketheSnow

Superb defence from SA

NZ went looking for the walls not the doors

sparky

The gaps were there, but laboured passing and poor hands let them down.

Deserve to get knocked out here

Yes, no arguments, just disappointment.

Bovidae

SA got the rub of the green in this game, as NZ did when we played them in the pool game.

That game summed up the current NZ team. They were lucky to beat Ireland, and made too many errors in this game. Time for the veterans to retire and inject more youth, and importantly speed.

sparky

I couldn't give a shit what happens in the men's tournament now.

MiketheSnow

France have been keeping their powder dry

Stuffing the Argies

Brandon

Sorry guys. Good Bok defense but you could / should have put us away. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. No worries...the real stuff happens 31 August. See you then

NZ 13/2

LOL. Cama's team has been so inconsistent - I am in no way surprised they were knocked out by a team they had previsoulsy comfortably beaten. Cama is a legend of the game but his coaching and select (esp) have been weird - like end of his era Titch.
Bring on full reset for next season

MiketheSnow

Cracking match

Great comeback from the Argies

Then Dupont sees France home

MiketheSnow

Ireland leading Fiji 10-7 at the half

MiketheSnow

Ireland up 15-7

MiketheSnow

Fiji back in a flash

Fiji up 17-15

Bovidae

If Fiji loses all three medalists from Tokyo would be out in the QF.
