Springboks v All Blacks 2

[booboo]

Yeah. Could have done without that last 3.

[Frank]

Jason Ryan making a difference.

[sparky]

Much better from the forwards. Midfield still useless.

I think so too.

[voodoo]

I feel dirty but Frizell has been pretty good...into everything at least.

I'm off for a shower now

[BerniesCorner]

So ff****g proud. Best performance in 3 years.
Forwards awesome. Samisoni, De Groot, Savea fantastic
Proud.

[MiketheSnow]

SA 10-15 NZ
Halftime

NZ’s match to lose
Got to be smarter in their play
And the timing of substitutions will be key

[BerniesCorner]

This is Ryan.

This is coaching 100%

[ACT Crusader]

Tight 5 have been very good. Lomax was solid but looked too be walking a bit late in the half. De Groot and Sami and the locks were into it for the full 40.

Frizell hasn’t been too bad and was quite abrasive in his play which was good to see, but I think we can bring on Akira to finish the game.

[booboo]

Would be keen to know the territory and possession stats.

Gut feel is we're behind on both, but that the score flatters Bokke.

BTW:
I AM GROOT.

Rieko is an 11. End of.

Havili is a great footballer but isn't quick enough or physical enough for test footy against the big teams for me.

Never seen Ellis Park break up like this

[MiketheSnow]

Need to get behind SA again

Make them backtrack

That’s when they make mistakes, give away penalties, and possibly cards

They just can’t help themselves

Dirty fluffybunny dna

[antipodean]

That PSdT intercept off RM is unforgiveable.

[Duluth]

Clean outs front the tight five has been better. I wonder if Ryan has simplified their role, it’s most about being decisive than technique. Things are easier for everyone else when that works

Ethan has had some good moments

That backline looks like it’s set up deeper this week?

Looks more lush under foot than normal. Usually looks like carpet.

You pull RM at the half

For BB? No way. We have more structure than we've had all year under Beauden.

How so? I've counted 3 awful kicks and an intercept pass that gave SA momentum when we were a man up from RM. What's he actually done so far?

He's been running the backline. Something Beauden seems unable to do at the moment.

[nostrildamus]

Apart from the try how is Cane doing?

Just being there is half the battle instead of ruck inspecting. Hit someone. grab something. be a nuisance.
