If only, what a crap game. I just hope Scotland rip apart a lacklustre Springbok side. You can complain about injuries until the cows come home/Wilkinson plays for England, but the Springbok's should have walked in a couple of tries. However the difference was my man THE 'SEABASS', he added the much added physicality that was lacking against England, and just showed how cheating and kniving gets you no where. Du Toit's penalty was the only good thing I saw a springbok do.
Oh well, good job there was lot's to watch on a saturday afternoon, Football, Test Match and well that.

What a bloody farce. That Springbok side has nothing. All that game offered was kicking practice for Montgomery. You'd think an exhibition like that where winning doesn't mean anything would encourage attacking rugby. If the Wallabies tried to pull that **** in Australia they would have got booed off the field.

Even England played more attacking rugby. Yes, that's right, even England. 
Doesn't sound like the referee exactly allowed the game to flow.

First up SA did play ****!! But put it in persepctive, first game of the year against a good World team who did not exactly come to play Barbarian style rugby.
SA resting and alot of injured players Smith(captain) Schalk, Juan Smith, Matfield, Bakkies, Os etc.
World 15 Casteneige, Ibanez(legend) Chabal( best of a player ask any Guiness premiership player), Mange France. Carlos Spencer could still back up Carter easily, Marshall with what the Super 14 shows they still need him and he is easliy good enough to still play for the All Blacks, Nascewa(spelling) fringe all Black etc so the list goes on not exactly a rag tag. They have now been together for 3 weeks so things are gelling.
Plus Bob Dwyer is not exactly a crap coach he won the WC.
I would not look to much into this game it is not a true reflection of the Boks this year. But you are right a bore fest forsure.
Bring on Scotland lets week lets see how crap the Boks are.

I was just peeved that Sky TV in NZ expected us to pay extra for the Rugby Channel to see this game. :wall:
The replay was also on the rugby channel which is a complete farce. If I wanted to see matches from years gone by I would just buy the DVDs.

I don't get why they changed the name from Barbarians to World XV. Can anyone shed any light?
B

Because Barbarians FC had nothing to do with them perhaps?

It's as the ***le of this thread says - Springbok XV vs World XV, not South Africa and not the Barbar's...

But the same players, bar a few, played for the Barbarians the other week against England, and the coach is the same - Bob Dwyer, as it was against England.

What des that matter? If it's not the baabaa's, it's not the baabaa's.
You do understand that Barbarians FC is an actual club and not just a name given to selcect/invitational XV's?

That game didn't deserve test match status
The only positive from this game is that it was Tappe Henning's last.

Yes, and anyone who plays is a lifetime member, blah blah.
But what is a worldXV? Surely the best players from the world, not a team made up of players who have just finished their northern season, and don't have any international commitments, like the Baa Baas field this time of the season.
It just takes the mickey when this worldXV play, who were the Barbarians only last week, whilst Scotland thrashed a side that were crap really, but were named as barbarians, and have that result in their history, plus a good few members who don't really deserve to be classed as members of the club.

However, that team could never be deemed as a Baa-baa purely for the fact that they managed to play boring rugby and be part of such a boring game.
They didn't play with a Baa-baa mentality, and thus you can see the difference in ***le.
