Springboks v All Blacks I

[No Quarter]

@No-Quarter Yeah gotta agree there.

I think we're doing ok out there. Forwards working very hard to keep us in it.

Yeah, we didn't get a single penalty for the first 29 mins. Very difficult to stay in the game against a Tier 1 side when that happens.

[African Monkey]

Come on Smith!

[broughie]

@Bones Would be nice to see that big body of Clark running either inside or outside of Beauden Barrett just to mix things up.

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck sake Nuggie

[Toddy]

Ardie ruck watching.

[ACT Crusader]

Can we take anything from scrum penalties either for or against. Biggest lottery in sport.

[pakman]

Marx looked to me like he was alongside ball, not actually on it.
Pretty picture, though.

[voodoo]

You know - we are playing average, we've not had the rub of the ref's calls, and yet we're only down 7. I'll take that.

[RoninWC]

No clear release on that Marx penalty by the tackler.

Angus and touchies having a shocker.

Julian Save was always used this way.

Are Jordan and Clarke even on the field? Offering nothing.

Jordan who?

[No Quarter]

That last penalty was annoying, Marx never releases ST just wrapped him up so he couldn't move without really making a genuine play at the ball. We needed a way better clean out though.

The stitch up is on kids.

Is Gardiner deliberately cheating or what?

He's a shit ref. I've been saying this for years.

Don't be silly. That's a complicated variation on hitting it up two out.

[Crazy Horse]

Well I think we can safely say at half time that there has been no discernible change in way the ABs are playing. But the building blocks are in place and it will all click one day. Honest.

[ACT Crusader]

Will Jordan will have fresh legs for the second half.

Defence has been much better.

[kiwiinmelb]

Same old feeling ,

Hoping for someone to pull a bit of magic out of their arse to keep us in the game

His legs were only 1.5m behind his arms. Clearly supporting his bodyweight.

Maul and lineout fine.

If Boks going to rush up at 10/12, how about we drive back in close to ruck?
