All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham
-
It's a strange game. Neither side will want to show too much. SA came out fired up and we infringed a lot, and the ref pinged us off the park. We needed to tighten right up to weather that period but didn't react and ended up losing too many to the bin.
Despite that, we did manage to stay in the game, and are very unlucky not to have at least one try on the board. SA no doubt would have kicked most of those penalties during a RWC game though, so the scoreline would look different.
Be an interesting second half.

Foster strikes again. An All Black horror show. This side have the talent but are so poorly prepared for Test March Rugby.
Im worried about fly half. Im not sure any of our options are cut out for test match knockout rugby.
None of them have a body of work that would convince me otherwise

That was no knock on. FFS. Love Scott B but how stupid can you get!!
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.
We only saw the view that confirmed no head contact after the YC had been awarded. I wonder if the TMO got that in time?

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.
Infamy, infamy
They’ve all got it in for me

To be fair SA playing exactly as you would expect. Their powder is very wet but effective.

That was pretty dominant by the Boks. Worrying.
Nah. That first twenty was all down to the repeated penalties. After that it at least evens.
Three or 4 penalties for engaging with lifters too early.....technical pedantic stuff.
Carley wouldn't be blowing that in minute 75 of a RWC semi final id wager.
Then Scottie gets a resultant yellow for a ruck infringement 35 meters from his own line.

Nuggie too quiet for mine. Prefer Roigard's quickfire sniping, and physical presence.

Give Roigard a crack, nothing to lose.

100%. Release the hounds. Tell him to snipe all day and if in doubt throw some slop to Samisoni to tidy up.

Could have used his boot to clear in the first 20 mins

At the game. What happened to the forwards? Hope the ref keeps his whistle in his pocket. This could get ugly
