Nonu visibly leans into Wilson over his questions to Havili. Basically tells him to f”@k off. Haha still dominating off the field haha
He's pretty scary for a vegetarian!

The lineout defence was awesome. Ryan thank you
there was one in the second half that barely moved an inch...and Cane was not even bound.
rock solid.

The ABs coach has been outstanding
Keep him.
His name is Ryan btw.
Nah, the AB forwards were shit last week and as has been said, you can't judge a coach after two games. It's obvious Ryan's coaching improved after another week working with Foster....

he put in a great shift. spilling claret and all for the jersey.
sometimes people see a missed tackle but don't see all the other black shirts he overtook on his way back chasing the green jersey.
Happened to McCaw chasing Francois Hougaard a few years back here.

He's been going thru a shit time as captain and I'm really stoked for him tonight.

Fantastic win
Congratulations
But you won in spite of RM not because
If you think he’s the answer at 10 you’ve learned nothing
He did some very important things in terms of getting our backline going. Made some terrible errors too. But overall his intent in attack is what we needed tonight.
Yeah laughable to suggest what Mike said.
@Canes4life said it best when discussing JGB. I'd rather have rocks and diamonds than just rocks.
If Polllard had been playing for NZ it would have been a canter
What the fuck did Pollard do? Disappeared or passed it to Am? Yeah good one.
Kicked for territory
Got his backline moving
Didn't put his side under needless pressure
Didn't give up pointsAll behind a non-dominant forward pack
If he'd had the ride RM had, the margin of victory would have been greater
It worked really well. Meanwhile RM gave his forwards a sweet ride so that he could get a sweet ride.

What a game, Sam Whitelock! Rieko Ioane and Scott Barrett also great, but wow, old Sam's still got it!
I liked the way individual players stepped up when things weren't going well. Caleb Clarke's tackle to stop a certain try, Jordan's mark when the Boks were in the ascendency, Havili making a great tackle.

Ha ha
Must have been watching a different game from me
I hope you keep him
Because he'll shit the bed when you least want him to

He’s our least worst option at the moment. The game has changed over the last decade and we have continued to try and play it our way. We don’t produce “game management “ 10s as all the youngsters want to be BBs and RMs or if they do play a more classic style it is usually because they are limited elsewhere skills wise.
DC was a great because he also knew when to turn it on and off and when the team needed controlling.
Perofeta may be our closest to that if ever given a chance to grow. Now DMac has matured he looks to steer the team around much more as well. -
Not the done thing to award MOTM to a member of the losing team, but Am was my MOTM

you could argue he is the best player in the world at the moment.

Yeah he was brilliant.
Tough call on the disallowed try which he set up but hey Ho there we go.
Still hate the front row replacements after 30 mins.
That starting bok front was complete dogshit.
Punters saying Boks have the two best front rows on the planet are blind.
-
Though Richie M was two poor decisions away from an excellent match.
Needs to spend some time with OGara on how to manage a game. Skill set he’s fine, snd was key in almost all our good back line plays.
He’s ahead of Barrett for me.
Speaking of which ….
Scott Barrett >> Retallick.

Winning was obviously the main objective, but not completely bottling it when we lost Beaudie to the bin and then went behind on the scoreboard by 2 points, would’ve been a key outcome from this too.
Hopefully it’s a great shot in the arm for our confidence.
