New Zealand was robbed!
That ref is hopeless and shouldn't be allowed to ever ref a game against NZ again.
Sure , New Zealand made some mistakes , but the ref cost them the game.
......that was also a fair try , there was no deliberate obstruction , everything was "in play".
Naturally , it was always going to be a tough game because if the All Black won , it would have been a "clean sweep" for them in the Tri-Nations and the Springboks were looking at a total loss streak.
All jokes aside , the springboks played well and triumphed.
Sad to see the Kiwi's streak end like that though , The boys can now have a very well deserved rest.

Don't believe those people going on about ho NZ were robbed. Stop griping. You were outplayed. Teh Sprinboks were much more hungry for the win and you can't take anything away from them. The better team, on the day, won.
As for the best team ever- people forget that The Springboks and the All Blacks jointly hold the record for the most consecutive test match wins - 17 . No one can argue that the All Blacks are the best team in the world at the moment though. The world Cup next year is going to be brilliant!

SA Just played better. I am an All Blacks fan to the core and there could be many excuses etc. but a loss is a loss.
I personally feel it is good to have had this happen now because it keeps the ABs from getting that overconfidence that comes with a winning streak like they were on - especially with their record of dominating up to the World Cup and then falling apart -
This gets them to focus deeply in their weak points at the right time.

The greatest rugby team to ever walk the planet is 2006 All Black squad. No other team {Tri Nations} has ever won the Tri Nation Trophy and Bledislo Cup with three games remaining. To top it off the Freedom Cup came one game later.

South Africa 21 New Zealand 20.
They were robbed, because the All Blacks are undoubtedly the best rugby team that the world has known, or ever will know. That's got to be worth 10 points.
The All Blacks would have beaten South Africa if it wasn't for the underhand spoiling tactics used by the Springboks. It was a messy, scrappy game according to all the news reports.

Alf Ganet or w/e ur name is. What is up with you man!!! It takes a lot more guts and muscle to play rugby than it does to play football. Also rugby players are some of the fittest athletes in the world. Stop hating and get a life!

SA won, but the greatest team in history is New Zealand, nobody else is close in wins, points, and winning percentage
