Congrats to the Boks for their 32 - 27 victory over the All Blacks in
Hamilton, NZ tonight. Great game with the AB's coming back in the
final quarter, but just couldn't get there. I was hoping for an AB win
as it would of been a great setup for next weekend against the Wallabies.
Anyways looking forward to next weekend even though it's elementary
my friends, it should be a good game. The Boks take the Tri-Nation
and Freedom Cups. Along with the Mandela Plate they got off the Aussies.
FWTW, it's the first time since 1949 that the Boks have beaten the AB
in three straight wins.
It was a great game. Intensity and speed of second half was amazing. Two sides running the ball really show why this is the game played in heaven.
I was hoping for a springboks victory as i think it will give the Wallabies a lot of confidence in the lead up to next weekend. Last test of the year for us before they head off onto their european tours. Should be a cracker.
Unfortunately for you Andrew, it was the All Blacks by 27. It was a
cracker of a game, although I think the Wallabies gave up the ghost in
the last 10 minites. Not sure how confidence building a 33 to 6 thrashing
is, still think if the AB's had of beat the Bok it would of given the
Wallabies a relishing chance to deny the AB's the tri-nations cup. Still
I tend to think the best rugby entertainment there is, is a match
between Australia and New Zealand. The game always seems to go up
a gear or two. I dont think Robby Deans was looking too happy.
Well The All Blacks put the sword to the Wallabies in Tokyo last night.
Winning 32 to 19. Looking foward to watching both on their tours of the
northern hemisphere in the coming weeks.
Rocky Elsom looked a lil nervous in his first outing as captain, but
seemed to settle as the game went along. Thought the ref did a couple
of dodgy calls. But what do you espect he was South African.
...Hope I figure it out soon, I sure do miss watching the Rugby!
