All Blacks vs Springboks I

[chimoaus]

We really missed Whitelock and Aaron tonight. That backline tonight was truly turgid.

[Tim]

Very shit captaincy from Savea. Turned down 3 points several time, which would have put pressure on SA. Never talking the the ref.

[Hooroo]

Fuck the South Africans for ruining a good game. That fucking sucked. What a massive bunch of fluffybunnies.

[Tim]

Bring back Whitelock as Captain.

Akira worst game this year. Only about 10 quality minutes.

So many players choked. Havili awful. Perenara and BB terrible. Retallick penalties early. Savea missing.

BB didn't run on to the ball ever. Injured?

I expect a brutal debrief and a better performance by us next game

The thing is, they have halftime to change the gameplan if they can't do it on the field, I worry this coaching team is very slow to react and choose plan B.

Other than Jordie they all looked off colour. It was weird. It was a miracle if they managed to string 3 phases today.

Yup. Just like 2019

Worst player was Perenara for me. What a shit show

Obviously the Jacobsen late out disrupted the whole team 😃

Must be it!

So many to choose from. Bridge was worse. But TJ was shocking

[broughie]

@tim I wouldn’t mind if he was rested for Vaai.

I’ve said this, he might be a lead from the front type captain…but doesn’t have the wider captains vision, given the opportunity he’ll opt for something forwards based

[Kirwan]

What I’d like to see is us not repeating the mistakes of 2019 and picking a team to counter and opposition strength.

Picking Bridge was the equivalent of SB at 6.

Have Reece, get one jammy try and their tactics are moot.

To be fair he isnt the first or second choice. Maybe fourth?

[Tim]

@hooroo When Akira made a big carry to their line in the 2nd half, and he was nowhere to be seen.

Smith on the field we score there.

Especially when he failed spectacularly at the thing he was selected for.

Absolutely fucking right.

[chimoaus]

So many learnings and takeaways from tonight's game, the players will have learnt so much.

[NTA]

Why can't you guys play that shit against us?

[Donsteppa]

Boks two points down and with a minute to play midfield… kicked the ball away. Woeful rugby.
