It is that time again where I can't get away from the TV. Bought me an HD satellite decoder just for the sport channel only to watch WC2011 New Zeeland.
I'm actually very dissapointed in the Springboks first match today. We played like complete idiots giving away penalties and missing tackles. We scored real quickly in the first half only to be overun by Wales. They completely dominated the field had no handeling errors and was completely focused on keeping the ball out of reach of SA.
Butch James and JP Pieterson were the weak points of SA giving away penalty kicks to Wales. Then Victor Matfield wen't off for an injury. The Springboks perfectly showed the entire world who their strong players are, not to mention Bakkies Botha sitting at home with a foot injury.

I'm almost not glad that SA won the match 17 - 16 reason being all the penalty kicks James Hook missed. This is a filthy win and SA didn't play the better game. Not to mention the kick James clearly had that cost them the match due to unfocused touch judges AKA assistant refs.
