@No-Quarter said in 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.

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.

Never understood why Andre Esterhuizen was not capped more. So threatening every time he carries the ball.

@Steve whats a fly half?

Whatever it is , we haven't got one.

I think this is just a big ruse by Foster to fool the French into thinking we are shit. I just hope our players don’t believe it too.

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

Scobar was looking to clear out the player going for the ball and he clipped Marx on the way.

It was reckless but not as bad as it might have first seen. I can see it being not cited.

I hope so. We cannot sustain losing another lock at this stage.

[BerniesCorner]

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

It’s what happens when you hit a fly with a fly swat at the right angle.

All reds go to the judiciary

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

So tiring to hear.
All Blacks playing well = not Foster.
All Black playing bad = Foster.

Not to shill for the coach but it's much more than just one coach when the team is playing this shit, but no one ever wants to have that conversation.

Fuck me, there’s a shit tonne of Sth Africans here. Can barely hear any NZ support.

[His Bobness]

@Damo Scott asking Farrell for his KC’s number

[Steven Harris]

All Black management should be on the phone to Owen Farrells lawyer ..

[kiwiinmelb]

To get penalised off the park now rather than later, might teach us some valuable lessons in time ,

The injuries and card not so good though

[chimoaus]

So it remains yellow on review? What does that mean after?
