Much, much better 2nd half #Bokke Great regroup and the right changes made. Just shows what was possible. In the end it was anyone’s match, which is a fantastic recovery @Springboks

Refs pockets too deep when it comes to reaching for a NZL yellow card…

This match sadly has not been about how well the All Black have played, but how poorly we did. Moodie been a real workhorse and some other huge efforts put in - but overall, very messy and lacklustre.

I’m not saying we’d be ahead, of course, but this has to rate amongst the worst reffing I’ve seen…

Not sure what wisdom Rassie can share at halftime. So much to fix. But start with the lineouts : Marx needs to rest for the 2nd half. And Reinach can replace Williams. Not even Handré’s magic can help as we thwart the opportunities he creates 🫣😵‍💫 #GoBokke

Rassie’s instruction to Williams to delay getting the ball out is a disaster. It never works in our favour, least of all against a team like the All Black 🫣 #SSRugby

This box kick is going to kill me, let alone our under appreciation for possession 🫣

It’s always a jolt to hear rugby legends like Schalk or Jean verbalise that we won’t be victorious. I simply don’t have the wiring to allow my self to even think that - let alone say it. Even if historical facts weigh against the outcome. Our #Bokke must keep their composure,…

Hate and prejudice have become airborne viruses, as a result of algorithms pushing madness and outrage above calm, logical and factual thinking. That is why we now see hate and prejudice travelling from its natural host (far right and hyper left extremists) towards a normalised…
