All Blacks vs Springboks I

[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.

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.

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

Absolutely fucking right.

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.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Weber looked good when he came on. Should have come on much earlier. TJP is like France, one good game one absolute shocker.

We try but you don't let us.

Boks always lift for us. This has happened before.

We did in Bledsoe 1.

[Nepia]

Hahaha, Stan were interviewing TJ and he just stopped as the crowd were doing a haka for the team.

Do you think it was the Boks pressure or were we just really shit?

[No Quarter]

Ardie looks pale

They used to lift, now they just stop.

[Kiwiwomble]

Tj actually stops interview to watch a haka, most impressive thing he’s done all night

We often do in the first game.

@tim said in All Blacks vs Springboks I:

Bring back Whitelock as Captain.

From Canterbury? Brave call, we'll see how that works for them

Ardie will not turn down the 3 next week

Unless his bounce passes are picked up by someone who decides to go God Mode, he's just pants. Sure Havili made a meal of a couple of runs, but one of the passes was straight at his fucking head!

TJP is the guy you bring on when you're 20 points up, clearly. Spends too much time arguing with the ref and being a smart arse. Sure that's a scrum half's job, but ffs work on your executino under pressure.

You put Smith in at 9 and the ABs win by 15.

Fair point.

Glad in the end it was a hard fought close game that epitomised a 100 test history. Just a shame some of the skills weren’t on show.
