@Big Hit-672: what, you mean like the crowing from 99% of Saffa and English fans after 2007? hehe, get used to it littletit, if your real team SA perform as valiantly as they did against the Argies then they should be quite prepared for the "crowing" of kiwi fans.. same with your second team England...but the most pleasing thing is this, the ABs are actually living up to the WC champions tag, unlike both SA and ENgland before them who capitulated very quickly after winning a knock out tournament.. is this what really bugs you the most? that most kiwis would STILL prefer to maintain an 80% win percentage in games played, rather then a 6 week tourny once every four years? I do think 2003 will be England rugbys version of their soccer counterparts 1966..

@AiDoc-664: does Carter play in the Kiwi B team? how about Collins, Ali Williams etc..but as I say, NZ already had a draw on their record to Arg, so perhaps you lot should stop your infantile crowing.

Apart from our forwards performing like a swarm of bumble bees, we did not have a Heinrich Brussouw there to feth the ball. The biggest culpret was Morne Steyn who kicked away the ball (the little we got without getting a penalty against us) into the hands of the Pumas.Get rid of Morne and rather play Hougaard on the wing from the bench and play Ruan Pienaar at s/half. Then bring back Bakkies and Joe van Niekerk to come and teach these youngsters how to play test rugby.If meyer take this team to New Zealand the All Blacks will make mincemeat out of them. That will be a BIG embarresment for sa rugby.

Naas seemed out of his depth discussing Rugby with Mallet – Mallet is the best Supersport analyst ever, the rest are frigging jokes

If P divvy drew to Arg he’d be the worst coach of bok history…

Why would you even compare to the Abs results with Arg. Whats the point.
If you want to be the Numro Uno team in the world, the only comparision is to winning.

@cab-663: Agreed, Eldstadt and Etsebeth would be a better lock combo if Bekker is not going come to the party. He does not have the luxury of Schalk, Bakkies and Juan like Matfield had. He needs to get stuck in and use his size. If you see Etsebeth and Bekker they are massive, but need to start dominating. They are all playing in S15 mode and need to step up.

@AiDoc-664: Yep, we picked 2 teams at that time. One to go to Argentina while the other one stayed at home for the Ireland tests. A couple did venture over from the Ireland game though.

@ Bigtwit
2006? Wasn’t that the Kiwi B team that beat Ireland by 40 points the previous November? The A team was playing elsewhere at the time

@garth-662:
bekker was absolutely kak as were the other 6 forwards – the only decent player was alberts in the pack – the thing with Bekker is he could actually be immensely taltented and great but he;s gotta put his body on the line and he;s not prepared to do that. he’s got immense height, matfields anticipation and alot of strength that has been developed, but they just are not playing asBok forwards- get some buggers in there, they need fourie and an elstadt to fire that lacklustre shitarse pack up – and then albert ploughing in like rolling thunder as he always does – ah **** man – this could be such a good team if they just upped their pack dynamic and psychology, instead its no penalties staid disciplines who goint to get bent – this is just the start of it, i called it and im going to say i called and its going to get worse, not better, unless they start picking some players with fire –

kolisi, vermeulen, fourie, elstadt, brussow – pick those bugger and we beat the ~ABs whats the bet?

@cab-658: Was Bekker back on the field? Didn't catch that. It seems he was disappointed in his own sh1tty tackling. Surely a half decent coach sit him down and explain that he needs to lower his body position when tackling. Also, why does he, or anyone else for that matter, not try and steal the oppositions ball in the lineout? Is it a strategy to not be competitive or just arrogance? Bekker should not have been rushed back into the starting lineup either. He is definitely not playing to his potential and should maybe be benched until he improves.

@poppa69-659: ’06 then pedant but if you want to go there NZ already had a draw with Argentina on their record.

no im sorry these are not springboks – u can call them what you want – there are currently only 2 springboks in that pack – Alberts and Beast and maybe the young Etsebeth.

what you talking about Bigtit?

the ABs drew in Argentina in 1985, and never even played Arg in 05.

but I guess it embellishes your point a bit.

bekker no fkn ****, potgieter, jannie, teddie, coetzee – useless not one 1fkn meter between the 6 of them – thats the gdam pack – actuallly i lie bekker did pick up a meter, in the 79th minute when playing his favoured position … right wing…

can we not get a gdam dinosaur coach from the past who actually recognises dinosaurs? where is pote fkn fourie when u need him?

@fitz1ella-636: the loss in Arg will come, all of the 6N teams have lost there, Australia too and NZ escaped by the skin of their teeth in '05.

shitarse result – no im sorry there is no ways the boks deserved to draw that – they were all over us and then realised this is now how its meant to be and started to defend.

PdV never in his wildest had this result – that is def a first.
