Is that really that clear and obvious?

We can expect the same in the World Cup though. The TMOs will be looking for ways to deny the All Blacks tries.

At least 3 cynical penalties from the Boks in the lead up to the not try but the official who has doesn’t appear to miss anything goes back his shell

This games a SA viewers wet dream.

With so much going there way statistically, I’d be wanting more than a 14=point lead

[mencey]

That was no knock on. FFS. Love Scott B but how stupid can you get!!

[Tim]

Need some effective tackling from loose forwards. Jacobson is mud at this level.

[taniwharugby]

@Tordah yes and no...thier inability to create anything when they were up against 13 would be more concerning for them

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham:

How the fuck was there no yellow card for those cynical penalties?

All the people who cheered the refs first 20 minutes are conspicuous in their silence over that last passage.

If you're going to ref like an android ref like an android for both teams.

Lying on the ground killing the ball repeatedly within 10m of their line. We deserved our cards, be nice if they got the ones they deserved as well

[Machpants]

Ref is fine, less moaning about him, and more about ABs being morons

Need Samipeni's hard shoulder.

Foster strikes again. An All Black horror show. This side have the talent but are so poorly prepared for Test March Rugby.

[Donsteppa]

Some big lessons haven't been learnt... 50/50 on whether this coaching team and key players are actually smart enough to learn them in time for the RWC

[Joans Town Jones]

@mencey 100%. He held that.

[akan004]

The most intelligent and composed team will win the RWC. It ain't looking like us at this stage.

[Billy Tell]

Did Barrett get straight red or 2nd YC?

It was avoidable and silly, but I actually think the yellow was harsh. Just a pen for me.

Ireland are tackling people beyond the ruck and outside the ruck every week.

Scotty gave someone a bit of biff on the way into a ruck. No head contact I could see.

You are too upright you get Taa'vao'd, you grass cutter and you get Scootered.

Can't win.

2nd yellow and on report.

Get lost with the conspiracy theories sparky. It’s infantile.

Penalty count first half: NZ 11, RSA 5.

Possession: NZ 49%, RSA 51.

Territory: NZ 48%, RSA 52%.

Tackle %: NZ 86%, RSA 81%.

Scrums won: NZ 80%, RSA 100%.

Line-outs won: NZ 62%, RSA 91%.

[Mattasaurus]

That was a knock for sure.

Enjoyed that 40mins.

Dumb from SB -- really dumb prior to WC.

Ref has been fine. TMO has been fine ... we have been poor.

Exits #1 problem,
#2 is the playing footy in the wrong areas of the field and pushing passes rather than setting and recycling.
#3 lineouts not good enough

Looks like we are playing very vanilla rugby (powder dry) - pretty static when we have the ball and not valuing it enough - eg BB silly chip kick and loose passing.

We are far from out of this - if we hold on to the pill the opportunities and penalties will come.
