    You just hope for the sake of rugby , not just from an ab fan ,

    The monotonous bombing fails miserably , we open them up , and it causes a rethink of tactics

    Poos. Just realised this game is the later game. I have an early start so won't be able to stay up to watch. Fuck I am old.

    Controversial opinon here, but I'm not convinced that Weber will be an improvement on TJP. We know that coming on against tired legs makes a halfback look better, and we've seen this back to the Marshall/Kelleher days. TJP is a quality halfback, who sometimes struggles to get his passes right.

    That said, when he focusses on getting to the ruck and clearacne, he looks just fine ... and then brings a lot to the table.

    So, I wouldn't be surprised if we're stoked to see TJ come on with 20ish to go ... and if Weber doesn't look quite as good against a fresh Bok pack.

    Obviously hope to be proved wrong, and BW plays an absolute blinder!

    We seem to have a lack of depth at halfback in NZ at the mo buy is it just because of the very high bar that A Smith has set for others to reach?

    It's never been a great strength of New Zealand rugby, but what is infuriating is the other current candidates don't appear to be bothered by the disparity between their skills and his.

    you see several videos on all the socials about how smith gets to training an hour or two before he needs to and does all this extra work on his pass, you dont see the same for the others...they quite possibly do, but if they dont it make you wonder

    I know for sure TJ does, I've seen a heap of videos of his extra training. H did one when he he's attached to a bungy, so he has to fight to get to the ball and pass. Then the ball is in a tyre, then in 2 tyres on top of each other, 3, 4, 5. Looked fucking hard!

    I don;t think there is anything but professionalism on those that get a good number of tests, but everyone has a skill ceiling, and micro improvements are only micro!

    This kinda weirds me out. TJ is good in contact, good at digging the ball out and getting a pass away under pressure.
    What he is crap at - and utter crap compared to smith - is delivering really consistent, accurate passes quickly from clean ball. Maybe he should practice that instead of what he's already good at?

    Getting the coverage from Oz is a bit shit. Looks like the build-up for the ABs game is going to be wanking on about the wallaroos and the wallabies northern tour.

    The Saffa coverage is awesome.
    "We peaked last week". They're fucking proud of that game.

    Greg Clark with an interesting stat, the last 5 SA v NZ tests have been decided by less than 2 points each.

    Just wanna see us fight fire with fire, then allow our running game a chance to get us the win. Or take all the points if the game is ugly

    I would very much hope it's not a two point game late this week!
