[2013 TRC] South Africa vs. New Zealand in Johannesburg (05/10/2013)

[Big Ewis]

Did you know Kaino has signed for the blues for next year? That should tell you what i think of Messam. He's been good in this game though.

yes I know, he's back for the Blacks, but I was rather hinting at how fast NZ will rebound and score a try like it's practice even IN S.A.

And the NZ is far from ridiculous, it's just other sides do have an advantage there.

Scrums looking great! Faumuina having a top game

 

[Saffaboy]

What a game.

So frustrating. What a shame losing Habana.

 

[Bazzy]

Wow what a half.

I was still half asleep when the game started but definitely wide awake now.

BEN SMITH!

at least he's given SA their two tries single-handedly, they can't complain one bit.

By his standards he's been o.k i reckon. If id have known he was starting id of been more worried but he's done "just" enough so far. To me though our scrum is not good enough in this RC. Come real crunch games in the next WC teams like Argentina and England will be all over us imo.

Oh yeah Italy..... Thanks for reminding me....

Yes this championship weve been getting destroyed at scrums notably by the boks and argentina. But this game things seem to be different.woodcock got the upper hand over janie. Charlies been great around the paddock. Hes got a huge motor for a big fella

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

du Preez has been unimpressive so far, for me.

 

[austingtir]

That looked like a very dubious call the ball was out or something.

 

[austingtir]

That seems pretty quick on the draw with the yellow aswell.

Two huge calls by the reff right there has probably changed this game. IF SA cant win this from here they are no good.

 

[Draggs]

Willie!!!!
Don't fall asleep now Boks.

 

[RyotoTheDragon]

damn messam that was obvious entrance from the side. be smarter than that.

 

[RyotoTheDragon]

great defense

 

[RyotoTheDragon]

that cannot be dangerous, willie went way too low

 

[Big Ewis]

Oh yeah Italy..... Thanks for reminding me....

yeh yeh sure sure
well, I do firmly believe NZ would rather France finished first in their Pool. Because if we end up second, we're facing NZ in the 1/4 F.......just sayin, just sayin..

 

[Draggs]

****ing Steyn.

 

[austingtir]

SA have every opportunity to win the game and take the championship. Been a great game.

 

[Aspry]

What a game!!!
