Boks surprise All Blacks in Wellington.

Post by JP14 »

Rassie Erasmus' Springboks had their best performance in recent memory as they beat the All Blacks for the 1st time on Kiwi soil since 2009. The Kiwis will of course use the fact that they were at the Westpac Stadium (where the Lions beat them last year) as an excuse but this gives hope to the Irish and English that the All Blacks aren't all that invincible and are beatable.

Great entertainment - it always is when you're watching exciting games as a neutral!

Seeing how much it meant to the Boks to beat the Blacks was a key moment for me - the reaction of players and fans was pure joy! That's how people used to react when they beat the Tigers.

Those times will return!

As good as they are the Barrett boys cost the Blacks that game.

Jordie with that crazy quick line out and Beauden’s goal kicking. Why he is doing it when either his brother or McKenzie are on the field I don’t know
