After "our most improved performance of the season" yesterday, the Boks and their fans will be quaking in their boots about the Ellis Park test. 😉
Foster did say they were “excited” about going to Ellis Park..
He's obviously a masochist with what excites him

Q: when QT overran DH was that because DH slowed into contact like he was paranoid about ball security or collision impact? I only saw it once I think but it looked like DH really slowed down and was too busy looking at the tackler to do anything with the ball so I am not surprised QT overran him...

Now Test 1 is over can we change the title thread to "Springboks v All Blacks 2 (Fozzie's Goosesong!!)"
Or maybe the NZR should just fire the backline/attack coach who looks even worse than the last backline/attack coach they just fired.
Foster would understand, seeing as how he fired the last one who seems to have been better than the current one... What did you say? Oh.

@Chris I wasn't sure on that...I had seen a social media post with him in Christchurch but the image stuff used at the airport of the ABs not wearing masks had goodhue in it...and right players in the image...musta been a camp they went to
Yeah that was in Wellington during the Ireland series.

In test 2 I'd really like us playing on our strengths and their weaknesses. Ever since Hansen this "we worry about our team" schtick really gets me. The opponents work out and exploit our weaknesses and make us play their style (esp Ireland, SA). Why do we let them do this? And why can't we play the refs like they do? Am guesstimating but I expect the penalty ratio is getting worse and worse.

@TheMojoman Do they have KFC there?

The quicker the Springbokke forget about last night the better. Suppose Faf and KL Arendse will be out. RasNaber won't change much maybe Kriel on the wing and H Jantjies in. Was enjoying the bit of phase play at the start until they realized the All Blacks catch a cold in the air. Some of the Boks will need a rest at sometime. Maybe bring Ox and Tank on the bench, start with Kitshoff.

Can't see the Boks losing against the absolute rabble in Black at the moment. We're a shower of shit. Worst AB team of my lifetime. If you're a Boks fan get a ticket to Ellis Park if you possibly can. The ABs are going to get whipped.

Yes, it was just a bad dream. Never happened

@nostrildamus welcome to our world. We have been smashed by the All Blacks not long ago for a long time. A week is a long time in rugby.

Get what you're saying. But I thought that late 90s team was really brittle.
This team, to my mind, is full of decent players who are less than the sum of it's parts.
Early 70s was shit too. In my lifetime but before my recollection ...

@booboo this is def a good team, but zero direction or anything else resembling that of a top rugby nation.
