3 missed conversations to BB, 2 to DMac. And Richie hasn't been kicking that well recently either-who is the AB kicking coach?

RM better than both. DMacs were wide, BB was useless off the tee.

[sparky]

AB's far too good for Australia but still issue with the defensive. I hate to be a broken record here but why is Scott McLeod on the coaching panel.

What are the Boks going to do to these orange guys? Carnage.

They probably don't have the game to rip the Aussies apart like we do. I think the games will be fairly close.

[Chris]

Our depth will be tested,4 more tests in 4 weeks we will need to rotate the squad.

[kev]

Midfield defence was good today. And man Reiko looks good on the wing. So much better.

[chimoaus]

Some good, some bad and plenty of ugly out there today. Set piece was far from the standard, we really miss AS, some of the passing was dreadful. Some soft missed tackles. Aussies ball retention was woeful, numerous ruck turnovers, intercepts etc. The intensity of our forwards was top class and Akira was full beast mode. Plenty to work on before the boks.

SBW is a horrible, horrible presenter

I'll ask again, who is the lady next to SBW? I don't think it's roz, unless she has a great tan

He is so much better than the alternatives at 11, but he was excellent at centre last week too. His long passing game is better than ALB's.

I'd take JM over SBW any day. At least he has some passion!

[Tim]

Be interesting to see with Akira Ioane is moved into guarding the fringes against the Boks.

Horrendous. Just hopeless

Believe it or not today is one of his better efforts.

Yeah, can't wait to see Akira in a tight test. If he fronts doing the tight stuff for 70mins against SA/ENG, I'm his forever.

@voodoo I can see why they keep him wide, as his pace/acceleration is a big asset out there on attack and defence, but would like to see him used to smash blokes for 60 minutes in close.

[Tordah]

I liked the improved discipline the most, along with A Ioane's effort. Ref was fine overall IMO.

Who replaces Savea, Barrett, and Taylor if needed?

Jordie Barrett will be an automatic citing and red cards citings are rarely dismissed. So next test, Dmac probably starting at fullback (covering 10) and Reece back on the right wing and Jordan on the bench, covering wing and fullback? Ennor the extra man on the bench, covering midfield and wing?

Savea probably to be replaced by Jacobson; keeping Blackadder on the bench, although he has been very good.

Taylor is the most difficult to replace; it all depends on Coles' and Aumua's injury status.

[Old Samurai Jack]

He is so much better than the alternatives at 11, but he was excellent at centre last week too. His long passing game is better than ALB's.

It is the accuracy on defense and the ability to make the right decisions in the limited time and space that ALB brings at centre. Reiko is the absolute dogs bollocks on the left wing with the extra space and his speed.
