Retshegofaditswe Nche

That's a hell of a name. I understand why he uses 'Ox'

Allblacks have a disaster of a season and still win the RC , and with having to play the boks in SA twice .

Not patting us on the back ,but it’s a bit funny when we have been a bit of a rabble by our standards.

Interesting fact, winger Canan Moodie was 5 years old when Steyn last started at 10 for the bokke

@KiwiMurph I think that's important as well.

'Been there done that' still means something in sport even if not the ultimate deciding factor.
Look at the Bled for example. Generations of Aussie players don't know how to win it or to win at EP. Despite all the talk about the past meaning nothing it keeps proving to do so.

So yep the Boks have history in scrapping their way through RWCs and I wouldn't put it past them to do so again.

That applies to Australia as well. Definite chance of making the semis.

Anyone expecting Boks to get up enough to challenge for TRC trophy?

Jesus, don’t agree with that …. Not sure that starting a chain reaction deserves a YC.

@kiwiinmelb

Not to mention lose a home game in the RC and still winning it.

I suppose it highlights the inconsistencies of the other sides that play in the RC.

Normally AB consistency of performance and ability to win away means they more often than not win the RC.

The fact no side could take advantage of a poor NZ side this year is pretty shit and probably shows the worth of the tournament to the teams in a way.

Even the ABs seem more fixed on winning the Bledisloe and beating Sa in SA than publically stating we want to win the RC.

Considering it’s one of the premier international rugby competitions, it’s a bit strange really. 🤷

Maybe it’s a pointer that other teams might be a bit inconsistent and dare I say it, shit, as well ?

Everyone thought the Boks would destroy NZ in the second game. Never happened.

Argies were NEVER going to back up that historic performance in NZ twice in a row.

Australia are living up to their ranking in World Rugby at the moment.

How does Le Roux keep getting Test caps? He's such a donkey.
