Boks take the 2009 Tri-Nations
It’s been 2004 since the Springboks won their last Tri-Nations, but they came out top in Hamilton where they beat the All Blacks 32-29 on Saturday and were crowned 2009 Tri-Nations champions.
Fullback Francois Steyn kicked three prodigious first-half penalties – from 63, 59 and 52 metres – to lift his team to a 22-12 lead at halftime.
Flyhalf Morne Steyn kicked the conversion of a first-half try by scrumhalf Fourie du Preez and added two penalties and dropped goal as the Springboks deprived the All Blacks of the Tri-Nations title they had held for the past four years.
Scorers:
New Zealand – Tries: Sitiveni Sivivatu, Ritchie McCaw. Conversions: Daniel Carter (2). Penalties: Carter (5).
South Africa – Tries: Fourie Du Preez, Jean De Villiers . Conversions: Morne Styen (2). Penalties: Francois Steyn (3), M. Steyn (2). Drop Goal: M. Steyn.

I would like to know if the s a rugby union will take any action against the new zealand players that spear tackled and went into tacles without using their arms against the S A BOKKE seeing as only our players get sited for minor transgressions like Jaques Fourie or are they exempted from any citings Thank you from Namibia WE LOVE THE BOKKE

Hail Monsieur Pieter de Villiers
I have never supported the Springboks in my whole youth and adult life.This time around I think I must just say, kudos Div,jy het die lannies gewys hoe om beste rugby te speel, nie die twaak van skop en jag.For a long time when rugby was hijacked by the Afrikaanerdom en kragdadigheid and locked up in a laager,black people were told they cannot play rugby soos ‘n witmens but this Bolandse kalant, Div, has shown them that they know nothing.
Vat hulle Pieter jy is ‘n man!
