Our midfield delivered. Solid as a rock.

Jordie consistently made metres up the middle. Nice defensive game too

[sparky]

@ACT-Crusader I’ll always respect the Old Foe more than any other opponent. They remain World Champions and I am sure will be there or there about’s in France and other World Cups.

But some of the shitting of the bed by certain NZ pundits this week was ridiculous.

if Stevenson or Dmac had played and had Barrett's game, we'd be calling for them to be dropped for eternity.

Yep this combo does not go backwards like previous ones.

That puts us into 2nd in world ranking, I think

Some will have us favourites by the time of the wc ,

It’s coming

Frenchie wasn't too bad - but had his French flair moments - felt he got very loose with rucks at times - specifically with the entries and holding your feet.

[sparky]

ABs Midfield and Front Row were outstanding. It makes an enormous difference.

Let the Frogs and the Irish carry the burden for a change

[Machpants]

Beaudy Def worst on the team. I await him getting high scores by the press

A good time to remind ourselves that we are past the bad old days of David Havili

The Boks exits were masterclass, almost half way or further nearly every time.

To be fair it feels like an eternity we have been asking for BB to be dropped or at least benched. Not a top 2 #10, not a top 2 #15.

I’m happy with that , but the bookies might have other ideas

I suspect there won’t be much between France, Ireland, NZ and the Boks in World Cup.

Will be a very open RWC

[booboo]

Well ...

... a little too closeness for too long there.

Generally happy with that.

Bomb squad, Bokke 1st XV, travel, errors, arm wrestle, random Frog...

35-20.

What's not to like?

[sparky]

Lost the second half again. That is the big thing to fix.
