South Africa home in a bruising encounter...

or tuqiri needs to learn that he's not that freaking awesome... :D Geez Burgs...be gentle on the poor guy!

Burger could be a legendary player if he ever pulls his head in. Old Bakkies has been a nasty, cheap piece of work for many years and didnt dissappoint on Sunday night. I love hard rugby with plenty of aggro, but there isnt room for cheap shots in our game. End of story.

Burger is the player with the most yellow cards behind his name and still he gets away with murder in some games. He is a good player, but I've got no respect for him....he is a KNOB

Totally agree with Burgs. Burger was milking and provoking the biffs, but don't forget about Botha as well. Never liked them, never will.
I thought Samoa did real good in the first half. And the try by Shane Williams seemed to scare the SA a bit. The backline looked crap in the first half. Butch James IS NOT a quality flyhalf and he'll prob be the weak link when it comes to the finals. The backs seem to be looking to avoid the hard tackles by the Samoans and making really loose passes. But the second half looked really good. Credit to Percy Montgomery and Habana for great plays and tries. They seem to provide some sort of stability to the backline when needed most.
