Springboks v All Blacks I

[African Monkey]

@broughie Feel like I'm watching a different game. He's working hard out there cleaning out rucks and rolling his sleeves up on defence.

There's just no pleasing some people on here lol. People criticising the same people unfairly because they want there local boys out there, be honest guys, deep down some of you guys want us to lose haha.

Come on boys!

Pluses:

Midfield defence has been good
Scrum has been OK after it settled down
Lineout is fine
More composure under pressure
We are only 7 points adrift

Negatives:

Lack of precision
Not great under the high ball.
Look rushed when on attack

[African Monkey]

@Yeetyaah He is playing fine. He's just an easy target for people to geton the back of.

@No-Quarter said in Springboks v All Blacks I:

So we got no change from the ref for the first 30mins, and a lot of SAs penalties were scrum penalties which were not exactly convincing calls from Angus. That gave them a BIG leg up. We then worked our way back into the game after that.

On attack ST and Akira have been strong with ball in hand, but we are firing it to them 1 or 2 wide out from the ruck which leaves us open to turnovers when they make ground. We need to use them close in around the ruck with 2 forwards in tail to clean out and give us quick ball. We do that then Beauden and the backline will have a shit load more space.

That sounds like a tactical game plan.
Not something the HC seems to understand.

[Yeetyaah]

@African-Monkey Cane is always the scapegoat tbh, he's had some shit performances recently but anything goes wrong it's his fault.

[Crazy Horse]

Another poor exit. At all levels we are terrible at that.

[broughie]

@African-Monkey working hard but he’s ineffective. There is a difference

[voodoo]

Classic indicator of how poor we are. Our ball off the kick off, couplenof hit ups, should be in total control but still we end up with JB having to kick off his left

[African Monkey]

Oh come on Jordan! We get the turnover and then biff it away!

[Crazy Horse]

Awful spell of possession there ending in a pressured kick from Jordan.

[ACT Crusader]

A Will Jordan sighting and it’s rubbish

[Yeetyaah]

Wow Will finally gets some ball and fucking does that lmao

[voodoo]

Another good hit from Cane

[Yeetyaah]

Jordie you turkey

[African Monkey]

@voodoo He's been ineffective apparently....

Not all his fault. Then entire passage was crap.

[Steve]

no difference between the kitsoff turnover and Canes earlier.

Was that the one on Jordie Barrett 😀

[Yeetyaah]

Kitschoffs hands went to the ground first hahaha fuck what is this reffing

[Duluth]

On defence we’re winning the contact more this half
