The All Blacks and the Springboks played today the best game of the season so far. The score pleased the kiwis 19 - 8 in a night whose crowned kings were the All Blacks forwards.
Both sides have reasons to be pleased, as they played a great great rugby, with the All Blacks playing their good old-fashioned attacking rugby and the Springboks playing their good old-fashioned deffending rugby.

While it is true that yesterday's match was one of the best, things can plummet in a week.
My gut feeling tells me that the Boks realize individually that they cannot compete with the AB.
Of course, collectively may be a different philsophy.
More often than not, at least in the olde days, South Africa has a tendency to resort to over physicality.
With as many Islanders on the All Blacks, that would be a somewhat chancy alternative. We had a little bit of stuff going on in the match but if all hell breaks loose, we may have a match that has more red and yellow cards than the match officials have in their pockets.
Right now it looks like NZ is the side to beat.
I am reserving judgment on the Springboks.
It certainly beats the Northern Hemisphere; that is unquestionable.

Let's see. Henry is already asking his men to step up for the next battle.
Theuy could step down and beat the Springboks. They play dumb noe because they are dumb. If they had a ny brains they wouldn't have done anything like they did last week. Perhaps the match will be closer, but it would be a "miracle" to me if the Boks won.
Tell me how they are going to change the lineup to improve in siz days? If you can give me three changes, I'll reconsider.
