:Just read elsewhere the officials missed the clear knock on by Kolbe when he throws ball forward before going into touch, BB runs it out from goal line and subsequent play we pass it to the SA player in our backline. Should have been our advantage and back for knock on.
Disagree. Advantage should be over for a knock on if you make 15 metres which we did.
Does the 10 metre space gained within your goal line count? Surely discretion can be used, no way we got more advantage being trapped by our goal line. The advantage rules on attack at a tryline are huge compared to elsewhere. Maybe I’m getting confused between penalty advantage and knock on advantage.

Na, once the penalty for offside that was that.
Well, if it was given.
Genuinely baffled by twitterati. When entire comms team and all pundits (7/8 Uk) say NZ nailed by a couple of bad decisions you’d sort of expect some humility .... but noooooo must make videos of Dane Coles in from the side and try to make viral.
It’s pathetic.

:Think he was hard done by there.
He let go of the player far more than Mo' let go of the ball
.Nice twist of narrative there. You shou l be on Twitter.
Mo'unga wasn't given the opportunity to release.

:Now that was the biggest joke of a penalty.
Bok lifters drop player and ABs penalised.
This. Fuck Garces.
Hah!! My auto correct wants to replace the Refs surname with "Faeces".

@chimoaus I thought world rugby had said they would be onto players getting in a strong position over the ball but not actually trying to win it.
I saw plenty of shit Garces missed that would have helped us, so I expect he missed a ton the other way too, which SA fans and those with the anti-AB-chip will only see....
All in all, that was as you would expect between these 2 sides, some nerves, some brutal defence, some messy stuff but largely quality.

:Short thoughts:
So much precision in the AB play - hardly any mistakes. Handling really impressive
Crotty didn't go off injured
BB at 15 is lethal on counter-attack
AB defence was outstanding. Ritchie has serious wheels
Bridge and Reece or BFA & Reiko. Who'd be an opposition coach?SA 11 & 14 look real class
Kolisi is a good captain - kept his team together when it could have fallen apartLike the way the ref let the game flow.
Glass half full?

Watched the game again , that helter skelter looking start from us ,
Although it looked messy, is there a definitive ploy to move the game away from structure where most of our rivals are more comfortable, and deliberately make it more chaotic to take them out of their comfort zones.

Ok, thats enough internet for you.

@booboo I like how they still mention the 'big Bokke pack' yet our pack was bigger...getting much like 'French flair' and the 'Argentine scrum'
For all the shit Scott Barrett has copped, he stood up big time.

:I enjoy seeing clowns like that thrashwanking about refs favouring us .
The comments on the BBC website are a real hoot. Still banging on about Umaga & O'Cudda Doided.
But the winner has to be the clown who tells us the "New Zealand Rugby Team did a long Harka to intimidate Garces".
Really? Brilliant!

I remember a similar thing when England toured just after the 03 WC , all the talk was about their big monster pack ,
We were bigger man for man in every position except kevvie at hooker.
