All in all we were treated to a damn good game of rugby.... The Boks deserved to win it and the baby blacks pushed them all the way - credit to them.

i would like to echo Daibok and bemoan the current amount of religion in the SA rugby setup.... its a ridiculous to thank god for anything that they have achieved - they achieved what they did on the back of their own endeavor. What if they had lost ? 'god' was with NZ then ?? or more ridiculous they were somehow being collectively punished or 'tested' by 'god' ??

if they wanted to thank someone.... thank each other, the coaching staff and their parents.

NZ will win it back next year as the NZRFU will realise they made a mistake not putting Perenara and a few others into team- plus they should have made sure 8-9 players had ITM cup experience last year 2011. NZ was just to inexperienced this year for the final against a Bok team who had S15 and Vodacom cup players( Aus had S15 players, England had Aviva, Heineken cup players but didnt do either of them any good)

NZ has some Sevens players like Webber, Ardie Savea, Visinia still young enough to play world Under 20's next season.

Great game and occasion spoiled by inappropriate religious fervour.

Its a game not Jihad and this sort of thing is out of place.

Sorry but 4 different NZ teams won the last 4 tournaments, so how did it make them favourites for this years final?

Surely South Africa must of been favourites going on tournament form & home crowd support.
