Ok haven't read the thread and only 70 minutes in. Three things.
-
How is it that everyone in the world can see Ennor isn't an international centre's arsehole, apart from Robertson and Foster?
-
How is it that everyone in the world can see Bridge isn't an international winger's arsehole, apart from Robertson and Foster?
-
Who the fuck is Dixon? Probably the worst ref performance at test level in decades.
Serious question - Has Robertson actually said Ennor is an international centre's arsehole and Bridge is an international winger's arsehole (or words to that effect)?
Bridge was arguably the best midfielder on the field. Oh, he was playing wing was he?
Edit: i actually think (the mighty) Quinn Tupaea is promising, just had a bad day yesterday. -

So we're 70 mins in and not one chip. ABs offered no variation on attack, is this a powder dry thing? Otherwise mo'unga needs to resign, there was so much space for a few chips to keep Italy guessing
As soon as Jordie came on you'll see a marked difference...

He's hoofed it far down field but no close cos to compete and turn defence.
Also ref team need a brief on the offside line and what constitutes supporting your own weight. Awful performance by both refs and ABs. Thankfully I could fast forward all the delays and shit

@sparky yes I wondered if mine was delayed. I was on Stan.

I always restart my Stan feed if I feel it's out too far.
I have one mate who is always 30 seconds behind me on his Stan feed.

the bench was all good? I can't remember anyone standing out for the wrong reasons?
We were probably lucky Italy had one gun winger only and only tried running the ball near the end of the game..

You make it sound like the AB coaches don’t do any scouting on their opposition. It would’ve very evident from 6N performances that what they did yesterday was par for course in terms of lack of attack.

- Hurricanes supporters will be delighted as Cane looked sluggish and lacking power.
Not sure that lacking power is the right term. Just working his way back.
If the breakdown is going to be reffed like that, then the ABs did ok. Kept it together and broke them down by the end. Some sloppy handling first half aside.

May have missed any earlier discussion, but is Monty any relation to Digby?
Just asking again

I doubt it, actions speak louder than words though eh 😉 he's the one that started selecting Ennor at centre ahead of an international centre.
He also selects Bridge ahead of 3 other wingers typically...

@booboo Yes, Digby's nephew. Sorry, haven't read most of the thread.
Thanks. Looked and moved a lot like him.
And you're not missing much.

i think that was indeed what Shag said, they'd concentrate on their own team not the opposition. And Foster is a mini Shag isn't he?
If they did have great scouting of the opposition that didn't seem to help them against the Boks.
