Careful Tig...I don't think Biff will like to see this thread very much

Not that I'm complaining:smiley20:

That's my boys - BOKKE

[pennymac]

They are pretty hot at the moment.
I hope they can keep it up.

Once you are at the top........


Oh, and they are the number 1 test and ODI nation too.

[Nyala]

See, I always said so.............GO BOKKE!!!!

[Azieko N'daba]

They are a great side and doing really well - but the results above are only from 1987 til now, So I am not sure about the term "Best Ever"

[Angelshark]

Dont worry about Biff, he will cry and get over it and then there will be next year when the Aussies will get to beat the Pumas.

Well anything before around 1985 or so - the Boks were frozen out of Internationals due to politics - so I don't think it would be a fair comparison to go back before that time.

[Azieko N'daba]

Fair comment, although I think you will find that the Springboks had a fair amount of history prior to the ban.
The Bokke are without question riding the crest of the wave at the moment, and long may it last, but what goes round, comes round, so don't be surprised to see the others come bouncing back.

[Tricky Nicky]

I agree - it does come in waves - the others will come back I have no doubt - but that is what makes it so exciting.

[boo]

oh yes the boks are the best nice one tiger
