All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham

[sparky]

Mediocre first 25 minutes for the All Blacks. If we start like this against France or Ireland, we’ll get punished for it and then some.

[Mattasaurus]

This is exactly the test we need prior to RWC. Really enjoying it.

It was a really bad penalty miss by Mo’unga. I can’t ever remember him playing a good game in Europe.

Apart from the kick, he's been awesome

[sparky]

@Machpants Those exits?

Ref is technical and has been correct with all bar one decision for me .... maybe not our fav style - but we are not helping ourselves

That shouldn't be anyones favourite style. He is the star of the show so far.

I want to see some rugby.

WHat calls should he not have made?

Fair enough. Once he is as "eager" when we have the pill.

He's been one of our better players but I'd love to see more distance on his exits, but that's a known weakness for us

If we go in at half time 0-7 that is a victory.

[chimoaus]

Our bombs are backfiring so far, all it’s doing is putting pressure on ourselves. I’m not sure we understand the importance of territory.

Not there yet

[gt12]

How many line out steals?

These bomb exits are going to cost us if we keep it up.

[Jailbreak7]

B Barrett all at sea defending that

[Stargazer]

Jordie Barrett's tackling: 5 made, 3 missed.

Coles had made most: 8 made, 1 missed.

[Steve]

The physicality of this game coupled with the softness underfoot in Europe makes our loosie/lock split in the RWC look even more brave.

Gonna be an attritional few weeks. Moreso than Japan in 2019.

[chimoaus]

Our scrum going backwards losing lineouts, not a good look Mr Ryan.

[Mattasaurus]

OUr kicking has been poor-- too deep , no chasers, or poor exit

[chimoaus]

Has Will Jordan touched the ball yet?

[MiketheSnow]

Wrong call in scrum pen

[booboo]

Good call touchie
