SPRINGBOKS HISTORIC WIN OVER ALL BLACKS July 13, 2008
Posted by frostygirl in Sport.trackback
What a game! When these two rugby greats meet it is always a thrill to watch because both teams have an intense desire to beat their rivals.
The “House of Pain” has been just that for the Springbok rugby team for the past 87 years, that was when last they were able to beat the All Blacks in Dunedin!
It was a cliffhanger right to the end and the whole of South Africa was sitting on the edge of their seats during the last few minutes of the game, we were ahead 30-28 and HAD to hold on to win! Our boys did not disappoint us and at long last we had a win at this venue.
Sometimes a team does need an individual spark from one its players and Ricky Januarie (scrumhalf) reminded us of the great Joost van der Westhuizen when his touch of brilliance resulted in the winning try being scored by him in the 75th minute of the gaime.
We have now ended the All Blacks world record run of 30 home test victories in a row. The world champs showed their true grit and that is how we know them.
Well done Boks we are so proud of you, now keep up the winning streak again when you meet the Wallabies!
