@Rancid-Schnitzel said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:

Sad but we're a paper tiger now. Interesting that our own decline mirrors (at least in my view) the decline of the game as any type of spectacle that's worth watching.

Seems to also mirror the SA teams withdrawing from Super Rugby

I just do not fu@@cking understand
We all knew the Boks would bring fire to the scrums,would try to dominate line outs and would coat the ball with snow when they kicked
....
.
And they did and here we sit sucking our thumbs
This defeat has been coming for a while though

I know its been said before but they knew exactly what the Boks were bringing but they had no plan B

This really fucking hurts
Boks played brilliantly- very worrying that we were unable to respond

Congrats the Boks - excellent rugby
I feel physically sick

Rest In Peace

Some great memories there. (And some interesting bits at the end: was it Ricky Cowan with that League try?)

Loved watching hom play
Thanks for the memories!

Rumours in the UK that Harry Plummer off to Clermont

I'm not an expert but thought that was a good sold performance
Bench did a good job
So pleased my prediction was so wrong!

Hoping we can keep all 15 on the park for last quarter

@Rancid-Schnitzel not forgetting all those years trying to regain the Bledisloe- those were bad times

@Victor-Meldrew - oh yes as a kid watching those '71 Lions win the series
John Eales and that ridulous kick to retain the Cup
Those were real bad times

@kev agreed

Like you guys have been a rabid ABs fan all of my life and have never ever missed a game
I can not recall a match where our forwards have been so dominated for the entire game
Just come back from the pub in the UK - shell shocked !

Watching in pub in Plymouth in the UK with my British mate and an Aussie-never lost a game when watching by with them so here goes<br>
Any AB supporters in town want to meet up?
