As a Bok supporter I share your sentiments, although I still think ABs are our no 1 opposition and will be for many more years. NZ Rugby has too much talent at every level, they will resurrect soon - I assure you. Just read the comments here - the NZ public is demanding change and they'll get it soon. Even if NZ loses 10 games in a row they'll be our no 1 opposition and always the best game to watch. There's too much history, too many epic clashes that have happened - a bad patch for NZ won't change that. Also, never forget that the Boks went through their worst patch ever 2015-2018; losing to Japan, Italy, Scotland and all the others (and 57-0!) and for the most part NZ supporters were offering positive messages and still making us heartbroken Saffa supporters feel part of it. NZ will always be our no 1 foe, and also leaders in how the game should be played (not right now, but if you look back at the last 25 years of rugby)

As a Saffa, I have the utmost respect for the AB’s and the great rivalry we share. But man changes are needed with the AB’s. I’ve never seen a AB team be so poor at the basics, it appears they lacking confidence perhaps? Front Row needs some working on, because IMO that’s where you guys are getting beat quite often these days. Most of your loses last year and this year is because you failed to compete upfront and at the breakdown and not being able to deal with the rush defence that teams apply on you. Also, back line looking very flat? Think you guys could improve on your centre combo. That being said I really am empathetic towards the AB’s, was not too long ago when the Boks where in this position and we ranked 7th in the world. I firmly believe the AB’s will bounce back though, but changes need to happen and soon before it’s too late for the changes to have an affect before the WC. Much respect from 🇿🇦

[@snoo1296]

Our head coach has picked the worst front rows possible for the last month now I truly don't understand his logic. All Blacks weren't clinical tonight but the Bokkes weren't great either, they slipped off a lot of tackles the few times the ABs had the ball and their only game plan seemed to be to put up the high kick and flood the area of contest probably legally but those rules might have to be looked at, which is how they scored and how they gained most of their territory, I will say the kicks themselves were bloody accurate though so credit to Pollard but I wouldn't be that happy if I was a boks fan. Refs definitely need to look at how the spring boks flooded the contestable area of kicks and how that winger of theirs had no regard for anyone's safety when he'd just run in full speed without looking at the other contester, he definitely got what he deserved although its pretty savage to say. With the right selections and the right coach I think the ABs will be okay. Well played to the Boks though no question they are the much better team and showed that tonight.

[@SnowPyramid]

Id say the ABs problem has more to do with SA leaving super rugby than anything else, lack of having played decent competition compared to the Northern Teams and SA. You are only as good as your competition and ABs are sitting right alongside Australia in 5-6th place.

I know that it’s not all the coach and the captains faults, the players need to be accountable but fixing a problem always starts at the top. The rotational policy, the chopping and changing of players and playing them out of position all undermine players and dent their confidence. That’s what I saw in this game against the Boks, school boy errors. What is it going to take to initiate change? A loss at Eden Park? Goodbye to the Bledisloe Cup?

What film was that if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to see it. Another interesting bit of history: the Currie Cup (South Africa’s provincial tournament and incidentally the oldest rugby tournament in the world) gets its name from a Scottish merchant named Sir Donald Currie, who gave a golden cup to the British team and told them to give it to the South African team that showed the most heart. From that point on, the South African provincial teams played over the rights to hold this cup. Another pretty cool link to Britain.

South African's are passionate and love rugby, Kiwi's worship rugby, it's a religion in NZ. With all due respect, the Kiwi's are the best because they never settle for good enough, they will plan and innovate, develop and practice until it's perfected.

Bottoms to the ref. Never watched a match where the ref was strait forward, concistent and in a way, just in the background like all good refs should be.

[@cashamman]

My thoughts as well. It's also kudos to both teams that the referee did not feel the need to interfere. It's strange because there were still a handful of 50/50 calls although mostly consistent (small majority went Boks way which you expect given home advantage). Also little need for the TMO to get involved which was refreshing. No post-match video analysis required...😉

i totally agree but does anyone know why that first pen for the ab's was awarded?? it was sa put in at the scrum, they won the scrum and fed it backwards to first receiver who was called for offside....im at a total loss

@@tomwilko7841 All the back line players except for the two scrum halves, must remain behind the offside line which is 5m behind the hindmost foot in the scrum until the scrum ends. Damian de Allende was adjudged to have been less than the requisite 5m. Listen to the ref point this out. It is not enough just be behind the scrum. As a pro player it is incumbent upon you to put daylight between yourself and the last man on the scrum.
