And the Springboks were lucky to get Nil according to one commentator!Heres what someone else said:What New Zealand achieved with this victory was to make a statement. It told the new world champions that it is the All Blacks, not the Springboks, who remain the benchmark for world rugby. The South Africans may have won the World Cup last year, but two wins out of three against the Springboks in this Tri-Nations speaks volumes for the All Blacks' ability to regather, to reorganise and revive.
I didnt watch this game because we dont have Pay TV and the Pubs are taken over by bands and live music by 11pm local time when this game was on last Saturday night. I spent ages trying to find an Internet Radio site that was broadcasting the game and eventually came across a Sports radio station in Capetown that would cross to the game from time to time but it was very frustrating - at half time I went to bed.
Not being in New Zealand I dont have a feel for what the mood there is in relation to the Olympics but I suspect Kiwis would much prefer an All Black win against the Springboks in South Africa than even a small handful of Olympic Gold Medals !!
Go the All Blacks!!
