A HOT BOK TAKE: What the hell happened at Ellis Park (With Alex Lowe)

Outclassed and outplayed. Complacent, over-confident, not serious. Grant and SFM should take a break. We lost the game there.

the degree of arrogance is crazy - you got touched up 5 - 1 tries and that's big. give credits where its due.

All the physical dominance in the world means nothing if you cant convert ..

The arrogance is ridiculous - saying they lost it instead of being beaten. The stats say different. It’s been on display all week.

Nel and his mate are terrible. Already blaming the ref.

There is Nothing more satisfying than Silencing a Sold out Stadium of humble Saffas 👊🤫🤭😆😂😂😂

A BIG lesson learned for Rassie and his team: scrums ALONE don't win games

Seriously guys I hope the media will stop hyping up the amount of quality, brutality, and big men and depth that Sa has. If that was the truth they will not loose games like this. So calm down on all the hype.

Blaming the ref and no praise for the better team on the day. Sad losers.

The loss had nothing to do with the ref. Poor decision making is what cost the Boks. Cockiness scrum after scrum instead of scoreboard pressure is why they lost. There were opportunities to kick to the corner and maul a try in wasted. They were arrogant and blew it. Hopefully the lesson is learned now and they come back better next week.

NZ wins by 16 and they don’t say one thing that the ABs did well to win this game. Ridiculous coverage.

5 tries to 1. The 1 Bok try was individual brilliance. No fluidity in attack. For all the set piece dominance of the starters they couldn’t convert. Also AB bench turned the physical battle

The Boks did not have them. The ABs walked in 5 tries…easily.

There is a level of arrogance here and not giving credit to the all blacks

A Wake-Up Call for the Boks Well done to NZ they properly deserved the win. I predicted a 17-point win for New Zealand on SuperBru, and unfortunately, the way the game unfolded, I was right. Before my prediction i thought that the boks made to many changes in their previous games and the team facing this NZ team did not have enough game time together. The Boks made far too many handling errors and, when they had their opportunities, simply failed to execute. Against a team like New Zealand, you cannot afford to waste chances and expect to get away with it. Make no mistake — the Boks were properly humbled today. Perhaps this loss is exactly what they needed. Hopefully, it brings a few big heads back down to earth and reminds the players that past achievements mean nothing if you don't perform on the day. This loss was necessary — and, in my opinion, a long time coming. Sometimes you need a hard reality check to expose the weaknesses and get the team back to where it needs to be. Now let’s see how they respond.

We looked like a team that hasn’t played / hasn’t played together in a while.

Lads, your bias and disrespect of the AB’s is off the charts! There’s more to rugby than just having a powerful scrum because where did that get you tonight?…the AB’s outplayed you and out thought you…try having some humility…it might improve your self awareness!!!

Backline failed to fire.

Looked like a Stormers match. Sacha doing Sacha things at 10. Didn’t think he was terrible. Possibly the best young player in the world, immense talent, but he is NOT a Bok 10 and clearly cannot general a match, even behind a very dominant pack. Any time Sacha plays at 10, the backline looks like 7 individuals and the team struggles to convert forward dominance.

Rennie outplayed Rassi at the mind games by actually slowing the game down and not playing fast like in those club games.
