#393 Big Hit: no, not real. If I were in England some day (have never been there) we could have a frendly banter in the pub, no doubt.

#354 Nils: Eh don’t think so mate. FdP was COMPETING for the ball in the air which is perfectly legal, or maybe in NZ it was a penalty – you seem to want to change the laws to suit yourselves. Suck it up princess. You lost.

boks have never won in Hamilton! That one gone! Hamilton “there’s nothing there”
Where the hell is their prime minister now?!!??!!

At least the stadium organizers are playing SA music through the PA.
That’s class.

#409 sglazer: Good work, every reason to be proud!
12 Sep 2009, 11:29 am
Congrats to the Boks. Awesome performances all year, much better than the sh*tty ABs for starters. Enjoy the moment. Hope yr supporters can show as much grace as yr Capt.
Frans Steyn won it for you in the end, him and that intercept genius.
Smit gives the middle finger to all those scrummaging doubters, good for him.
Anyone who goes on about hometown refs may care to pause for a minute and recall the clear & cynical offside by FdP when ABs hot on attack because he was your best player before AND after that YC offence. They wouldnt have won if Owens had given him his due.
12 Sep 2009, 11:29 am
A well deserved 3N win for John Smit and his ‘Boks… very close game though – the Kiwis, as always, did not lie down and play dead – they came at us and if there had been more time on the clock, the score might well have been different.
I think du Preez, Fourie and Steyn (F) and (M) have really shown the selectors would class exists in the Springbok unit and must *surely* make a case for overseas player selection?
12 Sep 2009, 11:31 am
#410 Nils: Thank you. All the best to you and your team.
12 Sep 2009, 11:32 am
Itsbeen a glorious year for SA. Totally deserved. Every team will be gunning foryou guys right through to 11. For my ABs. Kia kaha boys never laid down and fought till the end. Proud of the boys.
12 Sep 2009, 11:32 am
#411 WakaNathan: I think that sh*tty ABs team still could beat every other team. So it’s not all that bad, they are 2nd after the Boks. Which is no shame in itself, of course, and subject to revision in the future.
12 Sep 2009, 11:32 am
Bokke won, now WP, Liverpool, and Sundowns, then I’m over the moon, **** it!!, the Boks have made my day, we haven’t beaten the All Blacks three times in one year since 1949!!!!!
PDV!!!! PDV!!!PDV!!!!
what ever happened to ThamesideBokfan??
12 Sep 2009, 11:33 am
#411 WakaNathan:
For a second there you almost seemed to be gracious yourself, then you **** it up like a good sore loser.
Even the NZ commentators were confused about most of the penalties given against the Boks.
I wonder if there will be any investigation into the blatant plan to rough Bryan Habana up.
Three off the ball acts of violence. Clearly premeditated.
12 Sep 2009, 11:33 am
#411 WakaNathan: good man waka
12 Sep 2009, 11:33 am
What makes this even more impressive is that NZ and Australia have a significant travel advantage, as they have had for more than ten years now.
12 Sep 2009, 11:33 am
Oh yes brother!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 Sep 2009, 11:33 am
Let freedom reign, let freedom reign. Big ups to Pdv I believe it is your belief that the ABs are not invincible and that we can beat them that has lifted this team. It doesnt matter what people think of you as long as you believe and they do. They did not go there just to compete they went to win and that is just what they did.
12 Sep 2009, 11:34 am
#411 WakaNathan: Waka – magnanimous in defeat. Credit to the All Blacks for coming back so strongly in the second half – more tries were imminent had there been more time left on the clock I feel.
12 Sep 2009, 11:34 am
#402 SJonesIsAGit:
no 9 points to NZ, 7 to Aussie
12 Sep 2009, 11:34 am
#413 sglazer: And to you, too.
No matter that I am the ABs fan and thus feel disappointed a bit (not that much because in reality ABs are currently weaker than Boks), that disappointment is eased a bit by feeling thet we were beaten by the better team. We have time to learn and catch up.
12 Sep 2009, 11:35 am
So glad for Jean he could score one of his signature tries in his last game before going north.
12 Sep 2009, 11:35 am
#411 WakaNathan: thank you waka….you’re a sport mate!
12 Sep 2009, 11:36 am
#424 Nils: The skills, heart and will are there. It’s just a matter of time.
12 Sep 2009, 11:36 am
Last year we lost two home games…
This year we won two away games…
Awesome change from last year….and it come with a title…
3N Champs!!!!
12 Sep 2009, 11:37 am
#411 WakaNathan:
fairly gracious until the last paragraph
insincere in my view
12 Sep 2009, 11:39 am
We must make hay while the sun is shining: three more wins against the AB’s next year.
12 Sep 2009, 11:40 am
And PdV has shown he can coach a team to be consistent…
12 Sep 2009, 11:41 am
#411 WakaNathan: I just hope that you can go back and read all your abuse against SA and the Boks over the last couple of months and realise that you should have been blogging on www dot ISUCKCANALWATER dot com

#429 charo: Charo, you can not polish a ****
12 Sep 2009, 11:43 am
#396 YoMama: he did give credit to the Boks, that you cant make mistakes with a player like Frans around.
12 Sep 2009, 11:44 am
#429 charo:
True. What did you expect? Most of the Kiwi fans on here are knowledgeable and good sports, but Waka’s shown time and again he’s not amongst their number.
12 Sep 2009, 11:44 am
#433 JL1:
old waka typed the first part of his post through clenched teeth.
then….his true emotions burst out.
hahaha

well, theres no pleasing some.

12 Sep 2009, 11:53 am
The thing that gets me. When ABs were no.1 the chorus from SA was wecheat. Never did you guys pay us the dues. Chokers prime example. Now. When we act like many SA fans. It’s bad sports but just looking over this thread shows me the true SA supporter. And it’s not a good look
12 Sep 2009, 11:53 am
Great win by the bokke and makes up for many of those close games that the bokke should have closed out in the past (Christchurch 2004 and Dunedin 2005 for example) but the kick/pass/run stats are very sobering. Amazing that we won despite this.
Kicks from hand Bokke 37 AB 33
Passes Bokke 39 AB 120
Runs Bokke 39 AB 95
Metres run with ball Bokke 151 AB 467
stats from scum.com
I hope to see a better return in the future against the AB’s. 3 away wins in 15 years is still well short of where we should be.

#441 bay_bok:
to me the worrying part of this game was that the ab’s are so much more accurate at the breakdown. the boks have a long way to go to match them.
but, an absorbing test between 2 great teams playing different versions of rugby union.
i lost on superbru but just happy that pdv, js and the boys pulled it off.
12 Sep 2009, 11:59 am
#427 sglazer: sure. meanwhile enjoy the summit scenery. Like certain Hillary.
12 Sep 2009, 12:01 pm
#436 charo: don’t be a sore winner, please, You are better than that.
12 Sep 2009, 12:03 pm
#406 Transformation:
We have? in ’98 when we won the 3N we won there as well….sure of it…
12 Sep 2009, 12:04 pm
Congrats to the Boks, deserved the win and deserved the tournament. Great rugby played here today, and the scrum really stood up. JdV’s intercept try was the moment of the match for me. Now make sure you hammer those NH nations.

#444 Nils:
nothing sore about me nils – just not into insincerity
