Congratulations Springboks. You guys have given us a very good reality check heading to RWC. Respect for Foster being very honest.

As a South African, we proud of the victory. However we all know to always respect the All Blacks, 1 of the greatest rugby nations.

Much respect to the All Blacks! You guys will bounce back. (Bok fan here)

As a South African the NZ rivalry is the one we always cherish the most... Thanks for the great game gents

The respect between these two sides are immense. Sure they had a beer after this game and wished each other best of luck going forward. Honest reflection by the coach and skipper. SA building really nicely, but the ABs will always be the final boss for any nation. Good luck ABs from a bok supporter. 🇿🇦🤝🇳🇿

Very open and honest reflection of the game, by the coach. Respect to him. AB's cant be discarded. Too proud a rugby nation. From a Bok supporter.

It would be useful if the journalists hand microphones so we can hear the questions

'We may encounter defeats but we are not defeated !' What a tough match - Good luck to both teams for the RWC !

Ab supporter here. Well done Boks! You deserved the win.

Every single time I’ve seen the Springboks play, the physicality shows in the opposition when the game is over. I’ve never seen the All Blacks with so many players yielding wounds and battle scars to this degree. My highest respect to these men from both camps.

I hope NZders and their press don't give the team and coach grief after only 1 game. They don't deserve it. Nobody wants to lose but you're seeing at this time, that teams who have maybe just a 3 week break from the game, come out 2nd best. It happens to all teams. We love and respect our AB brothers💚💛🇿🇦

It’s good this happened now regardless of the cards given,SA played well ABS will come back HARD IN THE WORLD CUP

As a sprinbok supporter, we have been there before, the All Blacks havent really been down that road. The Boks have come back and as we all expect the All blacks will be back. Some times top teams need a reminder not to sit on their laurels.

As a South African we know that the AB remain the #1 team in the world. I am proud of South Africa and know that the Southern Hemisphere teams, especially the AB, SA, Samoa, Australia and Fiji will bring the WC home.

Great game, thank you both teams and the ref. As a South African real proud of the Bok's performance. I am sure the two teams will meet again in the next few weaks, may the finals!

Kiwis you are such bad loosers. This was a fair and good game. Averybody wins and loose at some point. The loss is not the end off the world. Jst take it on the chinn and move on. You are a great side. Its was jst a bad day in the office. Its happens to averyone. Foster iis not a bad Coach and Sam is a great player. So stop your winning, jst take the loss and move on. And this was a proper hiding and you will come out stronger for it. Go bokke

Would be nice to hear the questions.

I wonder if John Kirwan was bored again by the Springboks play?

We love it....All blacks are bout to turn it on....see you there sa....Kia Ora 💯

This is what top line Rugby is all about, a definite treat for anyone whom had the privilege to watch it on neutral territory tonight, well done SA, AB'S far from done..

Respect to the new zealand team remember its a warm up game lessons must be learned from South Africa bok fan

Thankyou team, that was a hard watch, and I bet the crew is having a hard night, much luv, All Black all day, we got you.

Hold your heads up, it was a warm up, lots to work on... Boks have done to NZ what NZ did to them at RC... and the Boks took it on the chin and moved forward! much respect to coach and captain for fronting up.

It wasn’t pretty. The starting XV we’re rusty and the bench was inexperienced. Most hadn’t really played in six weeks and it showed. SA are well conditioned compared to NZ.

Congratulations SA, great win. As an Irish supporter, I think this is a great wake up call for the NZ team and Foster said it himself. They will sort out these issues and France will be quaking. A wounded beast 🇮🇪

You know the ABs are going to use this as motivation if they meet SA in the Quarter finals.

Awesome win by the boks! Respect to new Zealand for taking a loss with humility, they are too good of a team to not bounce back, beware of a wounded AB team.

As a all blacks this exactly what I wanted in a performance congrats south africa

Impressive victory for the South African team! The stakes were high in the match against the AB's. It's interesting to note that New Zealand isn't accustomed to being in such a pressure situation, given that they're usually the ones applying pressure. It might be a good time for NZ to consider a "plan B" to relieve the pressure, reorganize, and reverse the situation. Wishing both New Zealand and South Africa the best of luck in the upcoming Rugby World Cup!

This world cupbis wide open for the taking. The team that can maintain high intensity week after week will win. Many brilliant teams. A high standard this world cup. As a rugby fans it's spicy

Springboks you Beauty!

Foster & Caine need to be Replaced right 'now or suffer more humiliation to NZ with WC opener host France, Ireland & possibly Argentina

Hansen’s helping the Aussies, perhaps Robertson should advise Fossie.

Did somebody bother to mention that this was one heck of a game? One of the journous in the Springbok press conference summed it up - Howcome this clash of two rivals manage to fill Twickenham to the brim? What an atmosphere. The All Blacks bring out the best in other teams - so do the Springboks.

I support two sides. South Africa and anyone who plays the the Allblacks

Good to see an honest review of our performance. Respect paid to a better team on the day. Still right behind my All Blacks 🤙🏾

Amazingly to see the All Blacks in reverse gear in almost scrum after scrum. A big moral booster vir Boks ahead of WC

As a saffa, unlucky NZ, you'll bounce back. That was a ruthless display and a bold game plan. 7-1 split on bench

Get Rid of Cane do not have him in the side. Put Ardie at 7, Scooter at 6. Not picking Sotutu will hurt them.

As a South African, I have the worlds of respect for the All Blacks. Yes they lost this game, but I have learnt that you NEVER under estimate the mighty all blacks! Chin up boys! See you at the RWC

Great Post match. Honest and well portrait. Irish fan

Respect Fosters humble approach, better than cheeky Eddie saying NZ should be scared of his Australian team and the NZ economy will go into recession if they lost! ( and I’m an Aussie).

I cannot wait for both of these people to be gone. I can feel some small sympathy for Cane as he is fosters captain, but he shouldn't be there either. Even if by some small miracle they win the world cup, The damage foster has done to the history of the game in nz is insurmountable. Robertson has some job to get things back on track.

Thanks for being our rmates loooong time. We respect you. We know you will always a team to be reckoned with.

While I loved the win as a South African, I stiil have a tremendous respect for the All Blacks. And make no mistake, they will be back. Good luck to both teams, and who knows, we may meet in the final, if the stars align

I’m a French and Bok fan ( fR Mum and Safa father). So yes I’m happy for the boks’ victory over NZ. But the huge respect I have for the All Blacks’ makes me humble towards the NZ fans here! Don’t forget that France was also down the drain 4 years ago, and everybody was laughing at them! And look where they’re at now! Remember Ireland a few years ago was also not in a good shape and now they’re on top of the pile. SA rugby was also not doing well a decade ago. All that to tell my NZ fan friends out there not to be sad and don’t throw this team under a bus! If NZ players needs support it’s NOW more than at any moment of their history!! All Blacks in rugby is a bit like Brazil in football, we need them to be on top class form in order for the other teams to improve! So come on NZ, the end of the tunnel is ahead of you! All my support from France 👍🏼🏉💪🏼💪🏼

Another ground breaking record for Foster.

Good match ...Southern Hemisphere Rugby needs to concentrate on winning the set pieces with size........that will be the difference in this RWC.

What a couple of gentleman on show. We know you will return stronger against us !

Like 2 boxers going all out and then hugging each other after the fight. Respect.

Pot calling the kettle black, AB’s jumping across the lineout all day long in last NZ game, also you still have a choice to hit Boks when they land, ABs continually hit before they land only yourselves to blame. Good to know you won’t learn from this and just blame the ref. 👍🏼

Don't talk about jumping across the line, you went in on the lifter

Class shown from both Fozzie and Sam there, the pressure and expectation is well and truly off the AB's, bring on RWC

It was a good hiding. Either the ABs will react positively or whimper like last year in NZ.

Abs will always bounce back ,awsum rugby nation.

Good interview Fozzie and Kane!

Happy there slight of Hand finally seen!

BIG CONGRATZ to SA, frm AB Supporter big respect to Kolisi such a humble captain god love him & my fav player Ardie always goes above & byond hope u cap nxt games, if anything I hope its a SA + AB final 🇳🇿❤🇿🇦

Happy Days Guys ,The Ref was on to you guys , normally you get away with your bag of tricks but not today, the ABs beat the Boks at the last World Cup but the Boks went on to win the Last RWC. .Play Fair and earn respect.

I wouldn't say defence was outstanding when the only way NZ kept SA off their line was by infringing constantly

Good intent and lessons learnt won't fix fundamental weaknesses....Talk it up boys

I watched this game live at Twickenham…they had the most intense pre-game warm up I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a few pre-game warm ups. It was like the AB’s were playing a first half already. If anyone cared to notice they were chugging water the first 10 minutes of the game as if it’s the 65th minute. I’m curious as to what Fozzies plan is.

Played like the wallabies under pressure,the ref very lenient ,lucky not and earlier yellow card.boks mixed it up in attack very impressive and kolesi awesome.all blacks will be stronger for this.

Boks fans should know more then most, people shouldn’t read to much into these games but yes we got our asses smacked with a paddle and problem was we gave them the paddle 😂

Just what the all blacks needed.. they’ll bounce back bigger and stronger

Awins a win but until we ie South Africa can start to beat NZ 51% of the time there is nothing to be too excited about. Foster's copped a lot of flak during his tenure but nothing he can do about the stupidity of Scott Barrett. He should have been made to walk from Twickenham back to the hotel in his rugby boots

Tough loss but no harm at all and having all of that adversity thrown at them they will have pretty quickly identified the mistakes they were making and They will be able to make the adjustments and improvements that they need. They showed pretty good resilience in that first half and then two or three mistakes in the second half led directly to the school blowing out

It really speaks wonders about a nation that's biggest loss margin is a mere 28 points. Absolute Respect

Foster is doubtfull and don't look like coach who has confidence and it shows in the all blacks performance the last game they played against Australia it showed that the ausies came very close to winning that game

Monumental result for SA. AB don’t readily (never before) concede so many points, but Springbok/All Black meetings are always the pinnacle in rugby. And we know if we want to win the next clash against them, then it is a new mountain to climb. Always respecting them as opponents.

Where is the Jason Ryan work on the scrum and lineout seriously ??

I’m terrified for how the ABs might bounce back!

This RWC is anyone game the love of rugby awesome game 🇿🇦

Boks could have kicked for posts and scored anytime. They were rolling out a strategy, not excuses.

Let's see if they learn from this going forward

“We came 2nd tonight” that’s generous.

AB's will bounce back, they always do

Good ol fashion hiding. Too good Bokke! All Blacks!!🤘 All the way!

Foster is the most shameless AB coach in history. Record losses left right and centre under his watch, and he refuses to step down. Even in this interview you can sense that smugness and a lack of remorse for being responsible for the biggest ever ABs loss. He has successfully destroyed the brand and the legacy that was built over 100 years. Last year the gutless NZR should have sacked him but for whatever reason stuck with him. It's too late now, bye bye RWC.

Hi New Zealand,, get your ducks in a row,,cause if we don't make it, you guys better do. You will bounce back,,!! The draw on the groups could distort the real champion picture. As you can can see ,,huge respect for All Blacks, but a real Springbok at heart

As a New Zealander, South Africa absolutely deserved that win. We were Outplayed, outclassed, and dominated by a hungrier team. Even though there's been decades of fierce rivalry between the two nations. Respect is always shown on and off the field. So from a Kiwi, congratulations SA, take a bow!! Footnote: I remember being part of a protesting group marching down the centre of Queen Street in the heart of downtown Auckland city. That was in the bad, old days of Apartheid in SA. We gathered en-masse in opposition to the Springboks 1981 tour, hosted in New Zealand. Had my motorcycle helmet on for head protection due to many head injuries inflicted by police truncheons, along with thousands of other people who were also donned in thick, protective layers of clothing. Having running battle's with the police who used batons and tear gas to try and disperse us. Even though we were peacefully protesting!!!. That was the closest NZ ever came to having a civil war. It was in some cases brother against brother, pro rugby tour fan against anti rugby tour fan. I remember seeing Nelson Mandela on television thanking the NZ public for their support in the fight against that racist policy. The good news is, long gone are those day's of racial discrimination!! Anyways i digress!!

Even great things must fall and break someday-so many major rugby nations have gone through that-SA-England-France,Ireland ..and now NZ.Sometimes you got to break to rebuild again even stronger.This will be a very interesting Rugby World Cup.

As a kiwi watching the game was hard but, it's a great wake up call that we needed coming into the world cup and fantastic experience for the new bloody coming though.

Saffa here, don't EVER write the AB's off

The jumping across excuse means they just needed to set the AB lineout further away, this is actually a poor excuse to be pinged for basics.

I as a South African enjoyed the match for obvious reasons, BUT now I know the All Blacks will be back with a vengeance in the world Cup. We all know what New Zealand can do. We will need to be wide awake.

You did not come second you were pissed on from a great height.

Abs will only learn from this it's not nice but they are a team that can bounce back real fast,anyway still the top 2 teams in rugby

This was a good game its just show what the all blacks needs to work at... as a Springbok fan 7 front row replacement was scary to go with in the game but it worked on the day

As a Kiwi that thrashing was the WC opener, we wouldn't survive the Pool matches 😮

That was a sweet victory ✌️ 😄

So this is mortality. The AB's have been gods of the game for so long it's hard seeing them as just another team but there it is. Get used to it NZ our national sides aura of invincibility has evaporated.

Sam cane might just be the worst captain we had

Maybe you should have contested those lineouts instead of giving SA clean ball...

As Bok supporters we've always respected the ABs... we refer to them as the most consistently successful team.... interestingly we've noticed how AB commentators/pundits refer to Our Boks as "cup holders" and speak as though they've just been lucky.... that filters through to AB supporters. Listening to these 2... again they're suggesting the Boks were cheating at the lineout and that something went wrong with their scrum.... so it wasn't because Our Boys simply outplayed them in every facet... according to them it was a result of their mistakes and of course Our Boks cheating 😂 ....they sound like politicians not rugby players... NO MORE RESPECT FOR THEM!

I am happy the Boks are doing good again. I know the AB's are going to learn from this and come back super strong. Maybe a blessing in disguise for the AB's. I love the mutual respect these two teams always show each other. Even the supporters on both sides seem to be mostly respectful towards each other and that makes these two rugby nations who they are. If we keep politics out of sport, everybody wins.

I say it again Cane is not good enough to be in the ABs not too worried about this loss considering the circumstances.This is also what happens when you wrap players up in cottonwool too much instead of playing them they get stale

Congrats Ian foster for another record

Cane needs to go
