:I thought aside from a couple of early wobbles, that our wingers completely nullified the Springbok's kicking game. Bridge and Reece were both very safe. I know fans can watch the same game and see different things depending on their perception and what they are looking for, but I cannot agree that Reiko Ioane is anywhere near George Bridge when it comes to kick reception skills. It's been one of Bridge's strengths since his career started. Reiko Ioane is brilliant with ball in hand, and is stronger/more powerful, but George Bridge pips him in just about every other skillset.
I thought Bridge played well. Rieko has been off for a while, and the one thing Bridge always gives you is big effort. The guy is into everything. Reece had a few moments of quality that promise magic to come

Reado got away with being a bit of a naughty boy. PSDT got up and kept running, but apparently the saffa press reckon he could have doid

Yep, ardie was held in a headlock for one tackle. Apparantly that wasn't high...

It's making that particular South African media person look like a sore loser and there for 'South Africans' looking like poor losers (Which isn't the case as the ones I have spoken to reckon it was a great game to watch but just disappointed they didn't win)
They only real howler of the match, and I try to watch with both eyes, is the lack of a card for that blatant foul stopping us from scoring a try.
When the whistle went, I expected to ref to be heading to the posts for PT at first

At first watch it looked like the tackler didn't release but on video he actually did - I think ref would have gone to pocket if video ref had confirmed.

Yep, as Read told the ref. That was a gutless call.

@taniwharugby can't remember what point of the game it was but ALB was neck rolled. He got up unhurt but immediately looked at Garces, who saw the whole thing, and nothing happened.

:Rieko is stronger and has better top line pace than either Bridge or Reece
However, Reece is more elusive and has better acceleration and Bridge's workrate and high ball ability would be better (although Rieko isn't too bad under the high ball)
Form seems to be with Reece and Bridge but I'd be happy to see Rieko raise his game and win his spot back , just as I was happy to see Scott Barrett coming roaring back last Saturday.
Competition for places is great!
Has that been published or is their video of it? Or is it one of those vibe things?
Probably a vibe thing, and my vibe could be wrong when I said George Bridge has a better work rate and Reece has better acceleration.

I love me some post-match grainy still shots with a thick red circle or bright yellow arrow on it. Especially after an AB win.
Makes the victory just that little bit sweeter.

@ACT-Crusader looking at that pic, it looks like PSDT doesnt even have the ball, and looks more like his fist is hitting him, so that makes it doubly, no, triply worserer.

So off the ball, high, deliberate, clenched fist, intent, and wearing a black jersey - he’ll be sweet.
I hope he does get a week though so we can see the loose trio we all want.

Cherry picking conspiracists.

I saw that linked to last night. Not a good look.
What is Read thinking when doing something like this? Put that on the big screen and we could have been down to 14 players for either 10 mins or the rest of the game.
So unnecessary and stupid. We don't appear to have learned our lesson that the best strategy is to avoid this off the ball crap.
