The Springboks piled more misery on to an All Blacks team coming off a historic home series loss to Ireland by claiming a 26-10 victory in the opening clash of the Rugby Championship. The 16-point margin was the Springboks’ biggest ever over the All Blacks in the professional era.
“I have never felt this defeatist about the All Blacks ever. We are not winning the World Cup next year. Not with this squad, we have zero chance.” “I reckon we are like watching a Super Rugby U19 development squad trotting out against the Taranaki first-grade club champions. The budding, beautiful, gym-bunny boys, the tattoed, Instagram, crazy haircut crowd that simply get mashed, physically mashed. That’s where we are.”
“Meanwhile, the CEO Mark ‘Night of the Long Knives’ Robinson is poised to backstab the very guy he put in the job. If Foster goes, then so should you, Caeser. Fall on your sword. Your administration is a woke joke.”
martindevlinnz In this time of GBV how can you possibly be so insulting and demeaning ? I am an avid Bok supporter but this sort of behaviour makes me hope the A B s teach us a lesson in humility and respect.
martindevlinnz he's not controversial. he's just a doos.
martindevlinnz He is just trying to fire them up. Beware the wounded giant!!
martindevlinnz Martin is dropping truthbombs
martindevlinnz Remind me... Didn't South Africa lose 57-0 and get ranked 5th (or 6th?) a year before RWC'19? I wouldn't write the All Blacks off...
martindevlinnz Hou op om die manne se probleme probeer op te los hulle is grootmense en kan kyk na hulle self, hulle is mos die beste.
martindevlinnz He can go ahead and write them off at his own peril. They can turn things around in six months.
martindevlinnz Easy fix. Get a forward pack that intimidate and dominate. Test rugby is test rugby. Can't win without front foot ball. All Black flyhalves can't dictate or change a game. Days of touch rugby test matches are over. Good luck to the AB's on Saturday. Go Bokke!
martindevlinnz Sexist, gender-insensitive language?
martindevlinnz As it stands, he’s not wrong.
martindevlinnz I remember a time in 2018 where no one thought we had a chance, but our head coach was sacked and we were able to rebuild and make a comeback. NZR could take a few lessons from us
martindevlinnz 2027 we should be in with a shot
Can we please borrow your forward pack? AND your reserve forward pack?
martindevlinnz 4 years ago it was 'Just give us the World Cup'.
