RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)

[Steven Harris]

@MajorRage what’s really funny was all the ball and field position the Boks had in the first 20 minutes , and their game plan consisted of bashing into contact...
It’s all very well to highlight decisions that don’t go your way..but if you look inwardly.
Ask themselves this question..what could we have done better when we had ball in hand...?,it’s was only when you were down 3-17 that you managed to get some ball in the hands of Cheslin Kolbe..
They probably had the most dangerous back on the paddock ,but in the first 20 minutes you reverted to Type..
I think they need to Take a bit of responsibility and look at your own teams performance.

@MajorRage The Media scumbags ruining the WC that's a pathetic video desperation written all over it.
We march on and stuff them by more points in the final then hold up the WC with a big Fuck you.

We'll get in trouble if Reado doesn't talk about the opposition in his speech though ...

[Yeetyaah]

@MajorRage LMAO imagine blaming the ref when De Klerk was throwing the game for his side for most of the match with useless and aimless box kicks. To be fair, Moody didn't have his best night in the scrum. Silly video.

SA, along with a number of other teams, play old style rugby. Why should they not try to expand their gameplan? I know they tried it a few years ago and gave it away when there was a coaching change. My basic understanding is that at CC level they play much more open, and the Lions Stormers and Sharks certainly try to play open at times. They shouldn't forget that back in the day we were the major exponents of 10 man rugby and at one time Wales led the way with running rugby. Perhaps their fans should ask why they persist with anti-rugby when they should be capable of much more?

Anti-rugby? What a load of rubbish. Ten-man rugby is a perfectly valid style of rugby.

Agree, there are many ways to win a rugby game. I'd be perfectly happy for the All Blacks to play 10 man rugby if it resulted in success.

@DMX more speed across the park is where I think they want it. Good set defences are hard to break, but if teams are going to kick to us (even shallow kicks) then quickness is what will diffuse it.

Even if it’s a so called grind, we still have the defensive game and what limited opportunities there are we will have the team to take them.

[ACT Crusader]

To be fair, for the Boks it’s 9-man rugby given Faf does a lot of the kicking from the base and Pollard less so 😎

But I'm happy that we are a little more progressive than that

Is that a George Bridge reference?

Think of it like a shit that has the wind to come across the rear port quarter

@KiwiPie good. Because I don't know ships.

Some would say I don't know shit, either

[dogmeat]

@KiwiPie I didn't comment because I thought it worked so well as a malapropism.

Could get quite messy for anyone astern on a lee tack though

Because we're being progressive with our left winger.

this was the best clip from that vid

"Duane clears legally" - from the side with a no-arms shoulder to the neck

[Rapido]

It really does reveal the 'narrative' is irrelevant to what actually happens on the pitch. Divorced from reality.

In a game in which:

• Mapimpi avoided yellow card for a Professional Foul
• PSDT interfered in a 5 on 0 overlap in an offside position and then intercepted - from which Saf eventually score try (14 point turnaround )
• Savea was head high tackled by Etzebeth (unpunished)
• Savea was head high tackled by PSDT (unpunished)
• plus add your own minor everyday quibbles here .... that your own one eye spots. E.g. a Malherbe bind or 2, a minor Faf head high on Beauden , an Etzebeth neck roll, a Faf shepherd on Bridge to allow Kolbe nearly try, horseshit lineout penalty against whitelock, harsh rolling away penalty on Laulala milked.... etc - are on my list.

People are making videos about AB ref bias. Unbelievable! After this game ?!?!?

Pick your battles better, like a game where NZ actually did get the rub of the green.
