Why can't you guys play that shit against us?
We often do in the first game.
Fair point.

Boks always lift for us. This has happened before.
Do you think it was the Boks pressure or were we just really shit?
Boks pressure to an extent. Their intensity and line speed was good.
We didn't cope well though.

I foretold this. Its always the same

What a crap, error-strewn game - fucking awful to watch and WR really needs to do something about the stoppages.
A poor AB performance but we dogged a win when we really didn't deserve - dumb errors all over the pitch - but collectively the team deserves a lot of credit for that win. Unlike the RWC Semi against England, there were enough clear heads out there to get us over the line and change tactics when needed
The big takeaway for me from this game is that even when playing like shit, this team can re-focus and get on with the job. That said, there's a shedload of stuff to get sorted out.

Give them credit for that. Nothing else

Savea getting asked what to expect next week, should have said lots of stoppages and box kicks
The first two day rugby test…

SBW should be seen and not heard. Bloody hell.

@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.
And he creates control. For me, he can read the game like no one else. TJ was like a headless chicken

He dropped straight into banter with ya mates chat

So how can we prepare for next week via selections? Not that many choices. I imaginge Foster would face a bit of pressure if he picks Bridge to start again but he did keep him on the paddock a bit longer than I expected.

Yeah that was disappointing because we were so close.
TJ was off tonight. For someone who’s pass isn’t swift, he needs to get to the breakdown quicker.
All in all though, happy for the team to get the win. These are young guys who are setting their place in AB history, so I’m proud of them.
Even though he didn’t play well, Retallick’s undefeated run against the Boks continues 😃

I assume Mo'unga will wear the 22 jersey next week; he only comes out of MIQ on Tuesday. Really a short prep time for a test match, even though his hotel room looks like half a gym on his instagram photos. The question is, who'll lose his spot. Surely not Jordie, so it will be between BB and Dmac.
