All Blacks vs Springboks II
-
@crucial Close to the squad I hoped for, knowing that some selections (Ardie starting, for example) are a given.
Weber starting instead of TJP
Mo'unga back in the 23
Rioane to 11
DH and ALB midfield
Blackadder retained in 23Only surprise is maybe Jordan being dropped, but Reece is a good replacement. I would have picked Jordan instead of Dmac in the 23, now that RM is back.

Only one selection in that team annoys me. Am I a Fozzie fan now?
Which one?
I thought that would be obvious - Reece.
Nah I didn't pick up on that. Thought it may have been BB at first 5
I’m not really in either of the BB or Mo camps so wouldn’t mind which of the two were selected.

Which is what makes me think a tactical change (or the the other 2 didn't follow the plan)
Jordan doesn't counter attack. He waits for others to doit then follows up. Bridge tries but as he is unable to beat a man is ineffective.
That bok chase line comes up fast and committed. Break through from a kick and it will be all on. -

Hopefully Taylor sorts out his throwing, that had a huge impact on what we could do last week. We were forced to keep throwing at 2
That was the boks doing more than Taylors throwing IMO.
Yep for sure same happened to the Wallabies v Boks, they had to revert to using 2 in their line outs.

Well I remember one going to the back with Akira being lifted where it hit him in the stomach. How did the boks force that?
Whenever it went long it was off target.

another with only one question mark
I would have Dmac and richie on the bench, id rather have someone a bit bigger, but thats splitting hairs

Bad lift probably.

Agreed Jordan or even QT would have been better.

It wasn't a timing issue, the ball never made it to the target.

I don't remember that one so only guessing .

Good team. I'll be very disappointed if they don't smack 7 shades of shit out of this lot.

I’m annoyed too. Bridge deserves heaps more chances to play himself into form.

It's going to be a big challenge for the reserve front row. Aumua is not as strong a scrummager as Taukei'aho. The jury is still out on Bower and Tuungafasi looks underdone and has had his own problems in the scrum previously.
According to who ? I thought it was just his throwing that wasn’t as good.
