@Pabs, Agree on Nigel Owens! A scholar, gentleman and a superb adjudicator of the game! His FB comment says it all!

“That was the greatest game of rugby I have ever had the privilege to referee. Huge credit to both teams for showing what rugby is all about. Thank you all too for your kind messages. Really does mean a lot. Diolch yn fawr.”

Also concur with your other comments, especially about the Bok defence! Take nothing away from the AB’s, they were superb on the day and young Barrett would make it on my Teamsheet any day!

Forgot to say:

Credit to Nigel Owens – best ref in the world – who was excellent throughout

And was disappointed by the Bok defence, normally so strong, which let them down badly at key moments and allowed a couple of soft-ish tries

Agreed on Louw – thought he was excellent. As was Le Roux and the SA replacement hooker who looks exactly like Chris Farley but whose name I have temporarily forgotten.

Also a shame that Habana had to go off. He was looking very sharp

What a superb game though – international rugby needed a spectacle like that. Fantastic

Kieran Read is amazing, easily the best number 8 in the world.

I generally agree, but I’d have picked louw on the openside flank, he played brilliantly!
