I love the picture McRoamer.

The Ref in the green jersey on the right is pointing to the ground and yelling. "It's a try!"

Admittedly that was a tight one (very tight)... However I think it was ok... as Richie had the ball on the line split seconds before the Bok hand arrived... or that is the impression I got at least. But, yeah... tests have turned on less than that. Fair try imo.

Of course BiB... of course...  :D

Like I posted above... Fair try. Most of the guys I have spoken to have been quite resigned about the try... most said that they felt it was ok. What the media was hammering on was if it was a Saffa ball then the try most likely would not have been allowed the way our luck is going, nothing to do with Richie.

It was a try no doubt, however Boks must be pissed off as they were the better team imho. There commitement to the breakdown was superb :claphands:

I have to agree with your sentiments, except the try Paddy. It was a different Boks team in spirit, effort, and performance compared to the last few games.

Hmmm... tricky question. The Boks was vastly improved... no doubt about that and there was stages in the match that they were the better team... but overall the AB's were just a bit better and probably deserved the win. Still..., a tough call.

I would have thought the Boks going down to the Ozzmobs twice in 3 meetings would be considered 'pudding' enough for the Ozzmob fans

I didn't say otherwise... I was referring to Ozzmobs.... If your name was Katatonic Ozzmob then you could have been excused for making a error... as it turns out... Katatonic Kiwi is a bit of a giveaway.

You in turn won the bloody 3N and the Bled... what more could you possibly want...  :thk: Oh, yeah... The William Webb Ellis trophy... the one that always gets away...  :D
