    It appears that alcohol has tarnished the better judgement of some South African rugby players after they admitted to taking a sign from outside a Matamata business.

    A number of the Springboks allegedly stole a TAB sign from outside Trac Sports Bar after they visited the premises.

    Bar owner, Gail Bailey, said at 2pm the players left and soon after a couple came in that had been in the shop next door to report on two men taking their sign and loading it into a white van.

    “I ran out to the street and saw two of the men. I ran up to them, one with dark hair and a beard, one with blonde hair, and said ‘someone saw you nick my sign!’”

    Mrs Bailey said she did not realise they were players at the time, but they had strong South African accents.

    Both players she spoke to denied taking the sign, but she assured them that they had been seen.

    After denying it a second time, she told them she would be calling the police to deal with the incident further.

    “They then looked at me for a moment and said they will go and bring it back soon,” Mrs Bailey said.

    “I told them, no I want it now!”

    Mrs Bailey said she felt angry that they would want to take the sign.

    “Nothing goes unnoticed in Matamata does it?” she said.

    “They are rugby players here in our country – so how bad is that?”

    She called ahead to Redoubt Bar and Eatery, another bar in Matamata, to warn them about the players on their way there.

    Redoubt Bar and Eatery duty manager Christina Carter said the team stopped in for a few drinks after that.

    “They were a bit mischievous while they were here but in high spirits. We were keeping a close eye on them though,” she said.

    “They were really nice to the customers and didn’t complain about anything.”

    Two players who were approached by the Matamata Chronicle for a photo after the incident, confirmed they were members of the Springboks team and one gave a false name calling himself the South African coach Peter de Villiers.

    Springboks media manager Andy Colquhoun said he was unable to comment because he had to discuss the alleged incident with the team’s management.

    According to IRB website:

    Ranked No.1 on the IRB World Rankings
    • New Zealand are the only team to have won all of their
    Rugby World Cup pool matches (22).
    • New Zealand are the only team at RWC 2011 who have
    not trailed at any point in their tournament matches so far.
    • New Zealand are the highest-scoring team in Rugby
    World Cup history, having scored 1,752 points in their 37
    matches, an average of 47.4 points per game.
    • New Zealand have scored 238 Rugby World Cup tries, 81
    more than second-placed Australia.
    • New Zealand have scored at least one try in their past 91
    Tests and in 97 of the 98 Tests coached by Graham Henry.
    • Graham Henry’s 84.7 per cent winning record coaching
    New Zealand is the best for any coach of a major nation
    in the professional era. His predecessor John Mitchell’s
    record of 82.1 per cent is the only other above 80 per cent.
    • New Zealand have lost to only South Africa, Australia and
    France during Henry’s reign and have a winning record
    against all three.
    • New Zealand have won their last 12 Test matches at home,
    a winning streak that goes back more than two years,
    since South Africa beat them 32-29 in Hamilton on 12
    September 2009.
    • Under Graham Henry, New Zealand have lost only three
    home Test matches, against South Africa (twice) and
    France.
    • Graham Henry coaches a team in a Rugby World Cup
    match for the 12th time, breaking the record for the most
    by a New Zealander and the joint second most by anyone.
    Only Bernard Laporte (FRA) has coached in more RWC
    matches (14).

    @Helen(Helen)-5: Incredible stats.

    Here is another one:

    New Zealand has lost knock-out games in 5 of the 6 WCs to date, and in all 4 of the proper WCs post 1991.

    They have also lost to Aus the last time they’ve played in a WC game.

    Seriously though Panther – New Zealand are clear favourites to win on Saturday like hot knife through butter!

    Don’t worry every one will be on a kiwi win as usual – absolutely nothing to worry about. Don’t even sweat it, in the bag all ready mate! ;)

    Its not a play off & French are fielding a “B” team.. So really there is no pressure what so ever this time.

    Or is there….

    That dark cloud is not an All Black jersey, it’s memories of ginormous chokes over the past 24 years.

    When will the choke happen? Against Fra or SA? hmmmm…..

    Question -

    Other than the bold change of Lièvremont to drop Francois Trinh-Duc and start Parra and YachviliIt what else is it that is having people call this a “B” team??

    I was thinking Parra and YachviliIt although awesome play-makers or “French Flair” carriers as seen against Can & Japan me thinks it will be a long night for those two if NZ get go forward ball they will be sending the likes of Kaino, Nonu etc into that 09/10 channel all night..
