@Bones a lot of things are obvious as fuck unless you're Angus.
I'm intrigued by a penalty at scrum time for knee on the ground and walking around too. Our props must have amazing strength and flexibility to do that!

@NTA Ta. Good post. At scrum in question I did notice that Lomax was tenting, but it was ironical that it was a subtle tug downwards by Kitshoff’s left arm which caused him to collapse: the irony being that AG signalled that Lomax had pulled down with his arm, which he hadn’t.

@stodders start Fletcher Newell. Can't do worse, Angus and Tyrrell are dead ends. Throw the new boy in the deep end.
That knee thing is stupid, same as when you put your hand down and then remind. It stops a collapse,so it's not good thing!

Technical infringement - peak Gardner ☺️

@pakman you lot can be glad Deon Fourie isn't playing. He has been outstanding all season for the Stormers.
I'd be more worried if Boks chose Roos or Louw, than Fourie. Kwagga is a great option off the bench as he covers every position apart from the front row 😂.
Fourie isn't displacing Kolisi.

@Bones said in Springboks v All Blacks I:
@pakman the tell is more obvious than that. It's the knees leaning on the tackled player, while his hands rest on the ground about a metre forward of that, combined with the fact he still can't get the leverage to lift.

@OomPB said in Springboks v All Blacks I:
@stodders Fourie is a prime poacher. Started as a 2.
I know who he is. He's 35. If the Boks have an injury crisis, they'll perhaps pick him. But he isn't the future. So he won't get much of an opportunity.

@stodders Not sure that’s pulling apart the backfield myself.
If by pulling players out of position to put kicks in to pin NZ in and around their 22m to build pressure, I would have to disagree with you
Either the players weren't in position because they were badly positioned in the first place, or the Boks caused them to not be in position. Either way, there was plenty of space available that allowed the Boks to kick for territory and squeeze NZ.

@stodders i agree that’s the case on the #1 but the others aren’t so much pulling players around. Willemse has numbers on the overlap but kicks instead. The last one is going to run into a wall so just boots it over. DDA has just broken through then gives the ball back, effectively.
