What Unclesam21 - all Africans are mentally weak? That is a bit racist is it not?

It is okay to use excuses when the Springboks beat the All Blacks three times in one year??

I agree the boks and South African rugby have had an excellent year up to what - September?? All the silverware proves that. S14, 3N, Lions, 7's (have I missed anything out??) - can't fault that.

Still - losing 4 out of 5 games on a northern tour is not that flash. Can't see the All Blacks being allowed back into NZ if they lost to Ireland and France, let alone Leicester and Saracens . If PDV - or Dick Muir or the other coaches (who probably do most of the hard yards) - can't get the Boks up for midweek games against Leicester and Saracens on pride in the Bok jersey alone - then someone needs to be held accountable. Letting the players and management moan about fatigue as an excuse just doesn't cut it with me.

Unclesam21 ... shut it mate. The Springboks have won 50% of the world cups they have played in ... that's how mentally weak they are. As for the ABs they have never won a "world" cup where South Africa have played. Just say "France" to the ABs at the world cup and then see how mentally strong they are! South Africa have had a very good year (to remind you they beat the ABs 3x this year). All true rugby supporters will agree they deserve to be the team of the year as the IRB has announced.

The lack of player management is the Springboks biggest opponent.

EXCUSES!!!!!!!! Africans are mentally weak. Don't see the Blacks bitching about fatiugue - oh well they won so I guess they wouldnt.

Africasn one dimensional rugby was found out. End of story. This "amazzzzzzzzing side" has nothing on the great sides of the last 6 years (or should I say sinde-allblacks).

Oh oh oh but the season was a rsounding success, right. I mean rugby team of the year. Measuring success on beaitng an injury ravaged, low par all black side hightlights why the great all balcks are the best. AS the french have said the ABs are the best by far- got their mojo back.

It is redicuolous the boks call this a great season. Its been a flop. No Kiwi would be arrogant enough to call some wins over the boks as all the evidence required to claim your the best. I mean beating the Boks has become a formality thus the motivation to win has dropped a little but for god sake, the kiwis woulod consider such a northern tour a complete disgrace and failure.

congrats ABs, Devilliers your a nutcase.
