All Blacks vs Boks

31-0 at the break, similar to what we did to Aussie in the first Bledisloe. When we're hot we're hot alright, what a fucking hiding so far.

Now, let's put 80 minutes together please.

There is only 40 mins left!

31-0 at halftime against the Boks and some of you are grumpy? Gee even Marc "not renown for his apologies" Hinton looks sweet-natured by comparison.

Hames seemed very, very nervoua at the start, look at the first scrum-setup. Missed a few tackles and conceded some penalties, not good, but he can only get better (or be replaced). Springboks unlucky to be that far behind. They're not playing well, but not 30 points worse. Maybe 10 or 15 points.
I love Sam Cane

Gee Nige is a good ref

Tim

@booboo Not one complaint so far, I think?

Rebound

@taniwharugby
How is number 5 still on the field. That's worse than Sonny Bill's shoulder

Yes, he's been excellent so far, don't recall a single mistake, no unnecessary TMO crap and good communication.

Chris B.

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:

Hames gave away the penalty there for the clean out. Again.

Most penalised player in Super Rugby, so it's obvious that he lacks the accuracy for test rugby.

Yeah - let's get Sam Prattley in there!

Haha. George is probably pissed at his lack of airtime so far.

SBW has had a bloody good game so far. Very strong and direct taking it up.

Interesting isn't it. He has only done the one off load and that was after in contact versus his normal offload every time. SBW being prepared to take contact has meant BB has been able to loop around more and looking to be the overlap I think.

Tim

@Chris-B. Yep, that Ta$man player is the only other option.

There's a few good loosehead props around (two from Canterbury, one from Taranaki) that aren't the most penalised players in Super Rugby.

He's massively out of his depth.

This is what happens when they get the execution right. Forget that bullshit talk about putting on pressure or creating opportunities, theyve been doing that all season, they've just spilled the pill too much. They hold onto it, teams get raped.

Now more of the same this half please.

Billy Tell

The attacking run metres on Raymond rhule will be impressive. Every time ball went his way nz made yards. Hansen will be well pleased.

Rebound

@Tordah
If you call let the Boks cleaners dive all over the rucks, then he's been excellent, as they have been doing it just about every second breakdown

@Tordah those first few scrums were the Boks trying it on with illegal tactic and getting away with it. When Owens on that side it stopped. The cleanout around the neck was unlucky but correct. Give Hames a chance let's see how it goes for him in second.

Tim

@Rebound We're up 31 - nil, and our ball has been fast. Hasn't affected us too much then!

Rhule is the same way in super rugby - turnstile.
