All Blacks vs Boks

[Mokey]

Just squeaked in and got what should have been easy as. Gave BB a rubbish kick to try for as well.

[dingo]

He got replaced a couple of minutes ago but another good start from Laulala. With Franks injurred and Charlie gone it could have been a problem but Nepo has done awesomely well.

@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.

Bollocks - the next cab off the rank is Tim Perry - another Ta$man player who barely played Super rugby!

Be careful what you wish for!!!

Probably the most penalised front rower in Intl rugby is Wyatt Crockett who if I remember has had to be pulled where Italian prop was boring in.

I think he's the best option right now, but it's his work around the park I don't like. I actually think he has the tools at scrum time to be good enough. I guess the rationale is to work on everything else.

To be fair to him, he finished much better than he started. He's going to get plenty of chances this year anyway, so there's not much we can do except complain - and hopefully ow up if he turns out good

[Mokey]

Reiko on the other hand looks speedy and slick every time he gets the ball. Great stuff.

[Virgil]

Crotty must be due to limp off injured soon

[Toddy]

20m sideways 0m forward

Hope not, or TJP will be playing centre...
Be interesting to see how the arm flapping tactic works a bit wider though.

no Boks supporters on this thread or are their hands too busy covering their eyes to type?

[taniwharugby]

Cane missed a tackle and gets subbed....

[Stargazer]

Savea, Taylor and TJP coming on.

[Mokey]

Meh. Cane off, Savea on. Cane has had an outstanding game.

I'm here. Nothing left to say really.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Ok TJ, let's see you back one up.

That'll learn him!

[Virgil]

Bench emptied so last 20 mins to suck..

Have we ever down troued the Boks before? Beating them to nil has a nice ring to it.

A quick search reveals that it has happened at least three times before

1921 00 - 00 @ Athletic Park
1965 13 - 00 @ Carisbrook
1999 28 - 00 @ Carisbrook

They have got us back three times as well
1921 00 - 00 in Wellington
1928 00 - 17 in Durban
1960 00 - 13 in Johannesburg

We are still on track to beat the highest winning margin at home of 33 (40 - 07 in Wellington) and the highest winning margin of 42 (57 - 15 last year in Durban)

[gt12]

Sam Cane has been the best player on the park to me Justin, but I'll admit that Smith has been good.

[KiwiMurph]

Cane and Aaron Smith were sensational.

[nostrildamus]

@gt12 Cane is becoming my fave AB, after the locks.

[Mokey]

Messy as fuck, and slow. How the Boks still have this...
