only trophies not there is a grandslam which the home unions will not allow the boks to have a go at, and the irb 7s rwc trophy that we let slip. so there is room for improvement.

@Just a Fan (Comment 6) : Boks once again get the short end of the disciplinary stick.

But he doesn’t want to play for the Lions anyway, so perhaps a blessing in disguise?

@Rahul (Comment 3) :

I “Presume” It is the Freedom Cup but we know what presumtion is……..

Maybe the Boks took the All Blacks on at an online game of PS3 Rugby. and won.

Is the Freedom Com an internet trophy?

From Ken Borland

Peter de Villiers did not celebrate his finest hour on the field with the rest of his triumphant team, but the Springbok coach said he had not been shy to mark the occasion of the Tri-Nations title up in the stands.

The Springboks completed a convincing triumph in the southern hemisphere’s premier event when they swept to a 32-29 victory over the All Blacks in Hamilton on Saturday, leaving them comfortably atop the log on 21 points. Depending on who wins next weekend’s closing match between New Zealand and Australia in Wellington, South Africa will finish at least eight points ahead of their closest rivals.

“I assure you I was celebrating in my own way up here in the stands and I will celebrate some more tonight,” De Villiers told SuperRugby after the triumph.

“It was tough, really tough, and my heart was in my throat at the end. To beat New Zealand in New Zealand is really huge, but it is for the country more than for me. The people back home will need this accolade of winning the Tri-Nations more than me in this time of economic crisis. It will give people in poverty hope for the future. If a guy like me can do it, then anybody can.”

De Villiers has come in for plenty of criticism back home in the past and his team’s approach to the Tri-Nations was also frowned upon, even though the Springboks are currently on top of the try-scorers list in the competition.

“What would the world be without opinionated people? As long as people keep speaking about us, it will keep us on our toes and we can use it as motivation.

“You have to get the blend right in this competition, you can’t stick to one thing only. It comes down to decision-making and some of the decision-making has been very good, some of it just good and last week it was not so good,” De Villiers said.

The New Zealand media, remembering the All Blacks’ own wretched record of dominating between World Cups but then bombing out when the big prize is at stake, have been quizzing De Villiers as to whether this Springbok team has reached the pinnacle of its powers.

The coach’s answer has been emphatic.

“We won’t get ahead of ourselves, there were still a lot of mistakes out there, so we haven’t seen the best of this team yet. There’s still a lot of work to do, we won’t be sitting back. We know the World Cup in New Zealand will be very tough, but this team can still go places if it remains humble and we keep our feet on the ground.”

Just like the coach.

The Bit in bold is my favourite.

Awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

If it’s available for The Boks to win they have it in their possesion.
