Springboks v Argentina Twickenham

@OomPB Agreed, but only because of all the asterisks next to our WCs, RCs, Qatar Airways Cups, series wins, hell any time we’ve beaten them.
Very grateful to the fern, ol mate Laurie etc for pulling the veil from our pig ignorant African eyes.
In fact Oom, I feel a little guilty because I still get a thrill thinking back to screaming myself hoarse in a tiny pub inmiddleofblerrienowherefontein as Jarpie manhandled Jonah over the touchline or how good it felt watching Fransie nail that 55 yarder on a cold night in Paris so the engraver could get to work and basically all of the the last seven years.
But I think it’s natural to sometimes forget that our victories are, by inviolable natural law, illegitimate. Of course, in each specific case we cannot know why at the time. Call it Schrödingers’ All Blacks - the magnitude and reasons for the forces of darkness’ loss cannot be measured at the same time.
It’s only much, much later when their coaches and players have had some time to come up with their best reasons that we can turn to the fern’s collective analysis, conclusions and insight and truly understand how hollow our triumphs and how foolish our deep satisfaction, joy and pride in the boks’ performance.

Those kiwis are so fucking naïve!
How many World Championships have they fucked up by runnin out onto the field and thinking they just have to play some actual rugby.
You’d think they’d have learnt by now.
I mean those ferners are chattering about who the wingers should be FFS.The saffers know they just need 8 forwards, plus 8 more on the bench to go out and bash the crap out of the fuckers.
None of that actual play rugby nonsense.
Less of that the better.
So long as Rassie doesn't have any thoughts of coming up with anything more sophisticated, the saffers will be A-OK. -

Indeed @smuts. That we should be so arrogant to think that there might be some good players, coaches and refs that have come out of South Africa.
I know you fellas are enjoying having a wind up, and all power to you fellas!
Can I add something, Boks are great I admit, finally got to where they should be after apartheid finished, population of 60 mill and about 600,000 registered rugby players, it's good to see you not wasting all those recourses fellas.
Hey all kiwis always know you had great teams, why we like playing you so much, even in the days when Danie Craven would present gold watches to ref after Boks win home tests.

You're overlooking their contributions to biochemistry (Nkosi , Jantjies , Ntlabakanye , François Pienaar: 'I started taking pills because everyone else did. Nobody batted an eyelid') and body armour (Matfield's hockey shin guard on the forearm)

Clickbait. No All Blacks were named. The Pope would not be impressed.

Argentina were hatcheted.
That ref is a joke.
Too unbiased?
Moodie should have been sent.
He bottled it completely.
Didnt even give a penalty, as to give a penalty would acknowledge an infringement occurred and he didnt want to put himself in that position.
Cowardice pure and simple.
Nigel weighs in

Nah nah nah
What the saffers do is Rassie rugby, that’s something different.
Rassie had a nightmare and woke in the middle of the night.
And he remembered the nightmare; and went FUCK YEAH, that’ll work.
And it does work.
But it’s not rugby, it’s Rassie’s f’n nightmare come to life! -

The gold watch scandal wasn't Danie Craven, it was Louis Luyt. A former lock who had come to run SA rugby, and was instrumental in getting the 95 WC hosting for SA - he noted that South Africa would have won the first two rugby cups as well if they had been able to participate. Probably true, but the recently vanquished AB's who had just lost to the boks in the 95 final took what remained of their ball and went home.
The gold watch went to the ref of the SA France game. The ref who presided over the final got nothing.
