@spykerbaard (Comment 5) : Damn tootin! 🙂

@Bok-Clyde-Kiwi (Comment 7) : Heart says boks, superbru says kiwis 🙂

Heart Says Bokke Superbru says “you idiot you forgot to enter” 😉
GO BOKKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man, it’s strange to be actually watching rugby on my TV
@robdylan (Comment 11) :
is it your Sky package? Man that was quick if youi only ordered it last night
Hi to all of you 😛
looking forward to the game BUT am at work 😥 , so relying on you guys to keep me informed 😀
GOO BOKKKE
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) : yeah – they only take 2 minutes to activate it 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) : bear in mind, I already have Sky, just not the sports… so it was just adding the channels… not delivering equipment and the like.
I vote we petition SARU to take Johnny Clegg on tours to sing the anthem.!!!!!!!!!!!
Tired of the foreigners butchering the thing. 👿
@robdylan (Comment 15) :
Oh okay 😆
hear hear!!
Okay moving to the TV.
Hi all blokes
GO BOKKE
@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) : Lucky you!!
It’s JP”s birthday….hope he gives himself a present & plays well
bok scrum looks better
OK – found game on the radio!! 😀
Goddard is blowing us out of the game… high tackle against Burger – and it’s kickable
and it’s good. 3-0 to the assblacks
Jacobs straight through!!!
silly grubber by Butch loses us lots of ground
and another penalty to them in a kickable position… this time for offside
and it’s 6-0. We’re looking at a hiding here if we don’t smarten up
ref is screwing up badly
thomson commits a clear professional foul… needs to be carded
and he’s not… Bok penalty which percy lines up
and it’s 6-3. Some good play by the Boks
and bloody Matfield knocks from the kick-off
Ali Williams drops like a stone… nothing trivial, I hope 😉
Monster hit from Burger was responsible. Not a lot of arm involved, but it doesn’t count since it’s against the ABs… 😉
O’Neill warming up in 18
Bok lineout 35 meters out now
now Goddard has seen a late tackle…
Carter is lining up another
9-3 to Goddard and the All Blacks
and one for us now… 30 metres out, Percy lining it up
and it’s good… 9-6 now
I Goddard blowing us away? Have only Kwi commentators on radio 😈
Goddard has lost it… jut blowing random penalties now
bok lineout on half way
and another kickable one for us now! Jeepers, this is like old laws!
9-9! Go Perce!
Adi is on fire!
Well done Percy!!
and now a kickable one for the All Blacks… Bis offside. Man, it is hard to follow this asshole’s interpretations
12-9… amazing kick by cuddah
Bis comes so close – then loses the ball. TWO HANDS, boy!
Bok scrum is looking brilliant today
and Ricky knocks trying to run a free kick 😈
O’Neill is on for Williams. Two green locks on now… we need to capitalise
SA lineout on AB’s 10
Boks come so close…
Boks scrum 5 now!
JP looks to have scored in the corner! Going upstairs
TRY TIME!!!
oh dear TMO 🙁
first try of the season, if they give it and what a crucial one. Made by a strong scrum and a beautiful break blind by Joe!
And it’s given! 14-12, kick to come.
And he’s 23 today!
kick is missed – 12-14
What a great Birthday present…my wish came true ❗
Bissie having a huge game
Carter misses with a drop… they’re shy of the Bok defense, all right
Percy forces a Bok lineout on the AB 22 with a superb kick
TMO for a Butch drop…
GREAT drop Butchie
and it’s there! Butch’s first test drop and it’s 12-17
keep concentrating Boks! It’s danger time..3 mins from 1/2 time!!
WHAT’S Going on with ref???
Great kick Butch
@robdylan (Comment 54) : An amazing turnaround from last week. Is it the great improvement from the Boks or is Somerville just a valuable scrummager to AB’s?
and another one for us… it’s on the 10m line and Percy will have a bash.
@Me2 (Comment 71) : He’s starting to get on our side now Me2! 😆
@Villie (Comment 73) : look one row back. Thorn is the difference.
Kick is missed
Could have with Frans for that long kick!
now ABs have a kickable one in our 22, after the half-time hooter
penalty is against Jacobs for daring to touch f*cking Carter
@robdylan (Comment 76) : You reckon? Could be…he’s a strong bugger! Damn conceded a penalty just before HT
and it’s 15-17 at half time.
@Villie (Comment 80) : Sommerville is also a bloody strong guy…
We’ve got these guys… just need to keep it tight in the second half. A good 10 minutes after the break and we can have them finished.
Hi Ville!
First sign on inconsistancy from Goddard there. 🙁
Early in the game he didn’t let us get additional advantage from their backline being offside and called us back for a FK.
Now he allows them to have the advantage and “choose” where to kick from.
Either way he is still having a good game.
bismarc is showin why he is the sucessor 2 john smit
@KSA Shark © (Comment 84) : is he? Seems VERY whistle-happy
@Bok-Clyde-Kiwi (Comment 85) : yes – very pleased with his performance.
Where the hell is Juan Smith? Second week in a row he’s disappeared
hope we dont have 2nd half syndrome like last week
What a way to open your try account for the season. 😎
Could maybe have done it earlier had Adi come inside to give him some room.
Ricky is not having a great game… taken the wrong decision a few times now.
@robdylan (Comment 86) :
VERY whistle happy, BUT consistant and not bias in any way.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 89) : I’d prefer not to think about things like that!
Ok, you never heard me say this… I’d bring on Frans at 12 for the second half, with JDV at 13.
@robdylan (Comment 90) :
I loved the way Dick reacted when Ricky stuffed up the quick tap. 😆
Again jean broke the line by runnin into space
@KSA Shark © (Comment 91) : he’s certainly no Jonathan Kaplan
@KSA Shark © (Comment 93) : must’v missed that while I was typing.
You see I cracked 10k?
one thing i wont do is bring steyn on at flyhalf
BTW, there’s a new poll that needs your votes 😉
@robdylan (Comment 95) :
BTW, the thing about record books is that they are made to be re-written. Boks have never won in Dunedin.
@Bok-Clyde-Kiwi (Comment 97) : hell no!
great kick by carter… Boks lineout in our 22.
Macdonald is on for the ABs
@robdylan (Comment 98) :
Have voted.
😉
ricky knocks at the base. We need Ruan on
@KSA Shark © (Comment 102) : Me2!!
superb passage from the ABs… they hav a scrum in our 22
Frans on for Jacobs
CJ did poorly there… should have passed to Habs, but lost the ball in the tackle instead
AB scrum on their own 10m…
And it looks like rain
Bekker on for Bakkies
bakkies off for blood.
They’re kicking onto JP cos he’s missed a few
If Botha isn’t off for a blood bin then Pdv is plain thick.
Bekker should replace Matfield NOT Botha. Botha is grafting his arse off and matfield is reading the leadership manual instead of playing rugby.
Joe pulls off a Meisiekind pass
@KSA Shark © (Comment 111) : blood bin
Lauaki is on… for Kaino
@robdylan (Comment 96) :
told you, you’d beat me 😉
Mujati on for Gurthro
and Lauaki scores!
All Blacks have upped the tempo, as they always do. We have lost structure and are not applying the same pressure.
VICTOR!!! STAND UP AND LEAD YOU P0£S!!!
kick is good… 22-17.
Mealamu on
@robdylan (Comment 116) : AND @robdylan (Comment 117) : Oh sh*t!!
twice now we’ve had Habs free on the left and not passed to him
penalty against O’Neill for a late tackle. It’s kickable… for Steyn
sorry – in Monty’s range as well and he’s lining it up
and he’s missed it 🙁
look who’s on
I hear Lucy is on 🙄
high tackle on Habs… penalty to us in their 22
butch lines it up
he’s got it! 22-20
ok – battery dead. Will be back after the game
Carter drop! 25-20
butch lining up… 25-23
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why did conrad NOT get sent off..it was worse!
That was not a high tackle…
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Januarie..I can kiss you!
Ricky try!
RICKYYYYYY JANUARIEEEEEEEEE 28-28
STEYN CONVERTS 30-28
@robdylan (Comment 118) :
That is not strong enough a word to describe him mate. 👿
I hope PdV sees that the Mut from Loftus isn’t a captain’s Arse.
Last week they interviewed Matfield as the losing captain after John went off.
I hope it is JdV who is interviewed as the winning Captain and not the thick Dutchman.
2 point lead, 3 minutes
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 133) :
It was high though. Not as bad as Smith but high nonetheless and he did warn them.
it is not even as if Matfield can say he never heard the captain pass on the ref’s warning. 👿 Hy is net plain [email protected] DOM!!!!!! 👿
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is a Saffa handling the hooter? Seems to have gone a bit early. 😉
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We did it!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
charge down game over boks win!
BOKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE BEAUTIES…….
I’m too emotional to say anything now
WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Irony is Steyn who is the king of having his own kicks charged down, being the one who charges Carter’s attempt down.
Whose ur bet 4 man of the match?
WINNERS R GRINNERS !!!
BOOOOKKKEEE!!
@Bok-Clyde-Kiwi (Comment 149) : Very tough one…they were all magic today. I think the Bok forwards were superb.
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
HOW GOOD WAS THAT WIN… there’s your 10th wish Rob… and a good end to the Carisbrook myth
Wooo HOooo….I am SOOOO happy. Now the cricketers need to klap the Poms around the park!
Now That is the way a captain should speak.
“After we scored the try I got the guys together……….”
JdV you are a leader dude.
You showed it in the S14 and just 1min after Matfield left the field you showed it again 😉
Steyntjie my boy!
Was the coach crying there? Tears of joy… Oh what a day!
if the kiwis dnt win the tri nations graham henry might be gone
Calling your old man long distance after the Boks beat the All Blacks in Dunedin: PRICELESS!
@spykerbaard (Comment 154) : amen! Now come Griquas and Free State! 😉
@robdylan (Comment 160) :
Calling your brother in Law who is a Saffa married to a Kiwi in NZ
ALSO PRICELESS!!!!!!!!
Jean is the best 12 in da world imo
ah man! What a feeling.
WELL DONE PETER DE VILLIERS! You have now done what even Jake White could not. And NONE OF THEM can EVER take it away from you!
oh and I hope VIC never sniffs the armband…ever! ROB that was indeed PRICELESS!
Sad thing about this all is that Jon Smit is still without a win in New Zealand.
Naas: “Maybe the one thing we all complained about did us a favour?”
NO NEED TO ASK ME IF I AGREE WITH THAT.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 167) : huh?
Peter Ndoro: “Last week they said we would not be the WC’s until we have beaten the AB’s in NZ…….. Now WHO are the WORLD CHAMPIONS”
@robdylan (Comment 168) : oh – Vic being sent off?
@robdylan (Comment 168) :
Naas was refering to the fact that Matfield being carded may have been a blessing to the boks.
No need to ask if i agree with Naas on that point. 😉
Log updated.
Dissappointed that the AB’s got a BP but this and the win next week against the Aussies will set us up well to take the 3N’s
GO BOKKE!!!!!!!!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 172) : I already updated the log 😉
We’ll take it this year… in fact, I don’t think we’ll lose again.
Ok, that’s me off. Later guys.
GO BOKS!!!
In the first half there was a replay of one of the Boks rubbing his fist in an AB’s eye on the ground.
Any Idea if it was Matfield or Bakkies? (seemed like a lock to me)
WOW 😎 😎 😎
Only blot on the plot….Victor Matfield….the shame of having your capt. sent off 😕
later people.
good thing it’s cold in Durban, nobody will look at me strangely wearing my Bok beanie 😉
@Me2 (Comment 176) :
it was a shame having him appointed in the first place.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 178) : Couldn’t AGREE with you more ❗
@Me2 (Comment 179) : I think he’ll be banned for the eye gouge
Matfield put in a lot of tackles today, though
i like the look of bekker though
@robdylan (Comment 181) : @robdylan (Comment 180) : Didn’t see the game so cannot comment BUT he will get some cudos for being the Capt. such a shame.
Was so pleased to hear Bismark was playing soooo well 😀
Thanks to you all for the company…got to concerntrate on “work” now!
Cioa!!
Who will be first choice scrummy wen fourie du preez returns?and where does that leave ruan pienaar
WOOOOOHOOOOO!
😆 😆 😆
Front and centre Roberto – I told you JP would stand tall!
Great game from just about everybody; including the front row. I wonder if maybe we were onto something with the scrum complaints???
Adi keeps on stepping up – a few great breaks and ripping the ball off Nonu.
Its good to be a Bok today! 😆
Well done Boks. This is what hte world champs should be doing on a more regular basis.
14 men. against the wind. epic.
Must be great for the new Boks like Bekker etc. Experienced men to lead you and taste a win in NZ.
and back to no.1 in the rankings.
how about them apples?
How hard is Schalk’s skull. Williams plus scrumcap, no match.
Maybe the All Blacks were distracted. Warning – not family viewing.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4616550a1823.html
Cricket fairies are getting a hiding. But who cares.
@robdylan (Comment 180) :
The longer the ban the better.
Come on Rob, I didn’t get to watch the game, jumped on the net, and Sharksworld in particular to see that NZ won 30-28!!! Thank God BBC had the right score!!!
Am I just seeing things at the top of the page????
Tri-Nations: New Zealand (30) v SA (28) (2nd Test) (F/T) ?????
Steyn needs to do something about his hair. Maybe just a bit of conditioner few times a week. really. looks like a badly made wig.
Percy should really step in and show the youngster the ropes.
@Superwors (Comment 196) :
@Superwors (Comment 196) :
Sheez Nobody has noticed the mistake. Our apologies I am correcting it now.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 200) :
Cheers Oubaas! I was stuck in this scary, surreal place thinking we had actually lost! I clearly need a beer!!!
Sorry! My bad
Seems Bismarck has been cited for eye gouging.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 203) : Yes. That’s worrying
@robdylan (Comment 204) : Only saw it first time, looked to me like he simply was pushing his fist onto the other oke’s head/face. Will have a look later to confirm, but I doubt it was a gouge.
Sorry but the World Cup had a bit of the shows over come the semi’s…this was by far the best test match i have seen in years.
fantastic.
Didn’t look like a gouge to me, more along the lines of an issue with a contact lens. Expect a week on the side-lines.

If Bismarck gets suspened for that it’ll be a disgrace. 👿
Habana was very poor again…
PdV needs to jack him up…
And what an average game….
@spykerbaard (Comment 5) :
You hit the Spyker op die kop…They had FIRE and the had me behind them!! 😉
Had a laugh at my hubby – tuning January about being a little Jack Russel in the earlay stages..after Janyuary’s try – he was “daddy’s littel Jack Russeltjie”…
Hopefully the Boks can also show the rest off the drunken thugs from NZ/Aus/Eng how to celebrate and behave.
@Hmmm (Comment 213) :
You using your personality again???
Come on…sorry , but no one can beat the AB’s and having an “average” game…we did well and we won…great BOKKE and I felt a moment for PdV as weel when he had his head in his hands…THAT is utter relief!! You had to feel good for the guy… 😉
Piet Helium will not be forgotten for THIS one… 😉
BTW – how predictable was the AB’s last move…DC or lose…
Match being replayed on Sky. Hope the boks win again.
Say what you will about Mr de Villiers but he’s coached the Boks to a win in NZ. Respect Sir!
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 219) :
Rache – or anyone – can you help me out…there was a “momemt” in the RWC Final, wher jake and some “skim” embrased – he had his arm in a cast or sumthinh…WHO was that?? THAT to me SUMMED up the WC victory…to date i cannot find a “still” photo of that moment.. 😥
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 220) : Was that after or during the match?
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 221) :
Just after the whistle – When the management also came onto the field – it was Jake and the Skim – and ann obvious tear being skhead by both..THAT moment descrobe exactly how I felt at that moment – that is why it is so special..
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 219) :
In a Stadium where we have NEVER won………….well until this morning anyway 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 223) : Yeah baby.
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 222) :
Sorry about this BUT “descrobe??????????”
Was it not Jean Div who had been flown out for the match?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 225) :
Hahahahah –
I thought it was JDV..but not sure – it was such a quick and deep mo …I so wish someone could capture that , because THAT is a moment in a million…
Oh and i would not widh to dis-robe hasie-bekkie…
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 222) : Nay, sorry. Can’t see it. I have the ITV version.
widh to dis-robe hasie-bekkie????????????????
Het jy gedrink vandag? 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 228) :

@KSA Shark © (Comment 228) :
Hasie-bekkie does ‘Lisp”…hence widh…have you heard Jdv speak…?
And yeah….44.8kg does not take well witj the sherry I am trying to consume to heat up this piece of ICE…
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 230) :
Watching this again. It’s sooooo lekker! Good to see the All Blacks going for long drop kicks to try and win. 😈
I reckon today’s ref is gay.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 233) :
OK – NOW – conclusion…is it JdV with Jake??? Who can give me a picture???
😕 😕
Carter should be cited for acting like a softie when Adi barely touched him. 👿
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 235) :
HEY – dont you be ugly to my Danny – boy!! 😉 He is fricken brilliant , good fricken lookimn and idf i was not married or close to granny age…THAT guy would have known what STALKING was… 😈
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 234) : Nee sorry, no idea. Jean’s arm was not in a cast or sling.
Finally im able to post comments from my cell phone. How great does it feel to beat the All blackr in New zealand. Now for the aussies
@wpw (Comment 238) :
Nothing about GW’s?? or does your cell not support that??
JK WPW..!!
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 237) :
NEEEEEE!!! so my search continue//you have the tape….please check for me…
There is a lot of Journo’s on the site….not?? I am sure someone can answer my Q…
I just cannot believ that no one else rememberse that??!!
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 241) : Lekker sherry drink. Ek gaan nou prawns eet en wyn drink. Ciao! 😀
@I’ce (Rebel With a Cause) (Comment 240) : Will do my best…
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 242) :
If ever in SA…I am well kmowned for my prawns…but I like them done under the grill…
You enjouY!!!
PS
Ywah and I can crochet…who whould have thought??
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 243) :
Where Prawns are concerned i do a better job than even Jmie – and I will Challenge him… 🙄
Just watched the last portion of the game again, and in a more relaxed and non emotional state I was able to notice a lot more. One of the most impressive factors was the work rate of the Boks wings, both Habana and JP put in huge number of tackles and JP even cleaned out at a couple of rucks.
Also, all the replacements made vital contributions. Ruan, a great break and one important tackle and Steyn’s tackle on Woodcock was awesome. Number 46 even made 3 or 4 good tackles towards the end and Jantjes also contributed!
@Hmmm (Comment 213) :
Put the hash pipe down lad. 🙄
I also saw that Carter dive of the Jacobs tackle – soccer-style.
A lot of guys really stood tall today. I’m really happy and still celebrating.
I just hope those in the media who has been critical of PDV will be big enough to give the man credit. He has bn under so much pressure but he stuck to his guns + especially some of his controversial selections like adi, jpp and a few others. Well done Peter, hope we win the tri nations with u as our coach.
Oh + big fish loves viewing the mens showers at virgin active under the guise that he will be joining the gym. Lol
Dont try and be smart on your Samsung E500 there Tenk!
So tell me, how does it feel to be sododmised in Kimberley huh? 😆 😆 😆
You are right though – a lot of people have been over-eager to write PDV and the Boks off – hope they have the cojones to admit they were wrong.
JPP and Adi have taken lots of criticism, but they showed lots of class today.
Of course YOU were one of those having a go at JPP, so lets see your fat ass apologise too, you Doubting Thomas! 👿
Fat ass? i dont have a clue wot u r talking about…
I see Simnikiwe Xabanisa of the Sunday times(A journo who I usually enjoy) says that The boks had to use Jake’s style of rugby to win.
KAK MAN!!!!!!! (in English 😉 )
This was a team selected and coached by PDV and they won.
Congrats to PDV and his Players.
it’s the only way he (and all the other journos who have panned PD from day 1) can actually dare to write something this morning without having to eat crow.
F*cking assholes the lot of them.
Watching the last 20min again. Go Bokke!
Fitzpatrick in the Sky studio reckoned the AB’s should have won. Oh please. Percy missed a few kicks, a few passes went astray (especially to Habana). Having watched parts of the match 2/3 times now, I have to conclude that the AB’s might have been a tad fortunate to lose by only 2.
And we played the last 8 min with 14 men.
Against a very stiff breeze.
Away from home.
And Carter landed a vloek drop goal too…
And we scored more tries than them.
Our defence was huge! Take a bow Boks.
Does anyone know where i can get a copy of yesterdays game? u wont believe this but i missed the last 25 minutes…
Only cricket today.
Following on…. 🙄 Let’s hope they improve on the first innings effort.
333 runs behind. 👿
