The 2018 Rugby Championship

Good grief the boks are good.

SA full of confidence, great to see. If the ABs came back to level their heads could have dropped.

Jesus. Did not expect.

All you have to do to beat the all blacks is play out of your skin and hope they make a comedy of errors

Got boks to win @2/1 at half time.....

Got them at 11/2 at half time on betfiar. I don't think they were watching the game.

Decent chance we see BigBok back this afternoon.

Realistically either team could still win by more than two converted tries.

Beaudan has been brutal. 2/5 in goal kicking? Awful.

prawnsambo

I think the 40 point rule still holds. SA need a penalty at least to have a chance.

troyzer

I think that might be the end of the game. Boks won't be able to hold on with only 14 men. They're giving away so many penalties.

Mookie Blaylock

Did Willie LeRoux just cost the saffers a win

troyzer

That advantage was ridiculous.

It's the ABs and they need a score, not surprising

Wow Nige has a long memory there for that advantage!

I think the All Blacks had the lineout anyway? Weird one.

Great maul.

Pressure kick for Barrett now. Hasn't been making the gettable ones.

Meh. If that break had ended in a ruck, I'd say it was advantage over. It ended with a possession change, so no advantage. Fair enough imo.

troyzer

Hansen is going to given Beaudan a bollocking regardless of how this one ends.

Clegg

Barrett has bottled this game.

No doubt he'll score a length of the pitch try next.

Lol

Beauden Barrett couldn't kick snow off a rope. Really poor stuff from a 10.

OldRio

Discipline destroying the Springbok.

prawnsambo

ABs look a bit rattled.

Kiith

Cracking match.

Clegg

That's an awful kick from Pollard.

fullstop

Dreadful clearance

Clegg

Thought Read knocked that forward at the lineout

awec

How was that not a knock on in the line out?

fullstop

No replay of what happened before this scrum?

Kiith

I don't understand that.

What was the penalty for there, seemed like he wasn't happy with SA getting possession.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

troyzer

Breathtaking.

Unplayable apparently. Sorry read it wrong.

Exclamation Marc

What an incredible finish.

Delighted for SA.

Mookie Blaylock

Well deserved win for the saffers

Well done SA. No sport gets the blood pumping like a good game of rugby.

Kiith

Superb defense, delighted for SA.

awec

Great game.

Good man!

What a finish!!

prawnsambo

Well that was good.

Boks defence was very good. Linespeed was excellent at times in defence. Just need to cut out the silly penalties and they could be very good. Well done Rassie.

Oh my god. What a game.

dastardly00

I thought a NZ try was inevitable; amazed that SA held on!

OldRio

Well that starts the day well.
Wonderful stuff.

swiwi_

Somewhat happy about that, strangely. SA defended well, and it would have been a crime to lose. BB's goalkicking is just abysmal.

So...which team would you rather face in 15 months lads? Barring a pool disaster it's NZ or SA not that far away...

Well done SA, keeps the RC interesting and NZ honest.

That was a gripping game, crowd got in behind NZ, and SA scored some nice tries.

Love the game of rugby, our great sport.

Nz should have gone for the dropgoal off that scrum, but they never seemed to consider it.

Me oh my I did enjoy that
