Sadly, I think we left our commitment in the changeroom at half time!!.........suddenly we not chasing anything like in the first half!

One hurdle too far.

well if Argentina win then I think a shock could be on

Gave 100%

Well that was a lot closer than we could have ever dreamt after Japan .....great game and we couldn't quite maintain the "superhuman" first half effort .....but they did us proud!

Well done to the 'Boks - disappointing that on day where most things favored us, we just could not finish it off - quite a few moments that could have swung it in our favor - that penalty turnaround (still not clear to me what Matfield did wrong), then we had the overlap and Lambie decided to kick - and lastly that lineout towards the end where they stole our ball.

On the other hand they too missed a few opportunities - so in the end they deserved the win

We can all be proud! Yes we lost, but the BOKKE did us proud! I am not going to blame any individual, (although I can name 1 fellow that in my eyes cost us big time), instead I am going to congratulate the team on a performance built on pure heart and willingness. Yes we were never the best team, and yes we never dominated the game at any stage, but the balls we showed out there, especially our youngsters, I think we can hold our head up high. Mr Meyer's plans never gave us a hope in hell of scoring a try let alone beating the All Blacks, but hell we gave it a great bash!!!! My predictions for 2019, aslong as affirmative action doesn't cripple the sport in our country (players are chosen on ability not colour), we will win the next world cup, and aslong as we don't face them in quarters or semi's, we will play england.... Anyway, I'm proud, WELL DONE BOKKE!!!!!

Fact is Bokke is kak!!!They probably played their best game today while the ABs played abt 3levels below what they did last week.
...and YES,OFCOS do I support ABs.

Did McCaw elbow Louw in the first half? If he did and they cite him then he misses the final.

I say well done to the Bokke as well. Anyway each to their own but I cannot understand how any proud South African can support any other team against our Springboks, Proteas or even Bafana bafana. No matter what or who, any SA team has my support. Bokke you did us proud and it was very close. You didn't allow the AB's to get into stride and who knows, was the first try from a slightly forward pass. I thought it deserved another look by the TMO but anyway, well done to the AB's, you will win the RWC. Yesterday was the final.

Buddy....bokke shocked AB's first half by dominating upfront & not allowing AB's to play wide & that is one way to beat them...keep the ball away from their dangerous backline. Pity the 2nd half didnt workout the same but all said and done that was a good game not so?

Btw...can u tell us about Maori culture & traditions besides the Haka?
