I think the number one thing at training this week will be accuracy.
Under pressure.

Bizarrely, Bridge catching the ball would have stopped this being so close. That howler was the reason for such an awful game
As soon as he made his Micheal Collins impersonations and cost the try, the Boks weren’t doing anything else.

Why can't you guys play that shit against us?
Boks always lift for us. This has happened before.
Do you think it was the Boks pressure or were we just really shit?
That was mainly us. The Boks have been poor all year and the Argies played like them. We put them to bed.
For all the ref was mystifying, it wasn't him dropping passes or being absent at breakdowns. That's on us.
-
What really gaps my axe is that the first 11 points for the Bokke were gifts through brain farts. Piggybacking penalties downfield, incredibly poor skills, and shit decisions. And yet that's almost enough to win a game of footy.
Take that away, and they have absolutely nothing. A push on the 9, and something else - a scrum penalty?
Next week, more accuracy, different ref, its' on like kong.

SBW should be seen and not heard. Bloody hell.
He dropped straight into banter with ya mates chat
It's really all he's got. It's a really tough gig and maybe he should get some proper training and practice before going on live TV. Right now he's terrible.

@chimoaus Yep. Him at 13 and Rieko at 11 would have been nice.
With the performance of Havili tonight, we might need ALB at 12.
I think we looked off in so many areas that few came out looking good

They constructed nothing offensively

ALB and RI would be a tasty combination. Jordan and Reece on the wings.
QT on the bench to win last minute games.

For all the shit Patrick got this week , he was great today. Very physical
A fair few pointed out that he often does well of the bench. Just don't ever start him, still hasn't got the engine at international level

How many box kick bombs were there? Must have been close to some kind of Guiness Book of Records effort.

I think the one player whose stock went up the most with me was Blackadder. I already had Jordie as the first place 15. I hope the coaches will also start to question their assumptions about some of the 'strengths' of certain players (i.e., Bridge). We also need to start working on bringing through some young props.

Did anyone notice Karl when he came on?

Their stoppages were offensive.
