@Damo said in All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham:

Disappointing but losing a man for 45 minutes is not easy to recover from.

Not great but we can move past this.

I think they were down to 14 for longer than that.

[sparky]

Well done, Bokkies. Enjoy!

[Tim]

Worst performance of Foster's tenure? Worst of Ryan's.

[taniwharugby]

@Damo well 55 for him really....

[Billy Tell]

We were worried about injuries. But it’s the headspace that was smashed.

Reminds me of Schmidt’s 2 RWC exits with Ireland.

Even if he does win the cup, this is not good enough.

Really? I'd have thought winning the RWC would come before a warm-up game.

Never seen an ABs team physically dominated like this. Men against boys.

[Tordah]

ABs buttfucked the Boks 33-6 in 2007, yet Boks won the World Cup. World Cup is not always won by the most consistent team, as we all know. Good game Boks, shit game ABs

[Steve]

Tupou Vaii and ALB are wasted shirts on the bench for me.

Prefer Lord and Finau if he could be squeezed in.

[sparky]

@Tim Worst of Ryan’s. I’d say the Argentina game in Australia and the third game against Ireland were worse.

[BerhamporeNinja]

well that brought us back down to earth lol

Yes because ABs should be better than this, the RWC is top priority but it is not everything

This game wouldn't even be played if there wasn't a RWC.

Ive seen it before, many times. But the likes of DC, Cory Jane , Dagg et al, caught their kicks and got us back down the field.

Beaudy and Richie are not doing that for us.

We are under the pump in our own half for a disproportionate amount of time.

[chimoaus]

Foster will probably say our only loss this year which came at the right time and a good wake up for us not to become complacent heading into the WC.

Really? When? Never to this degree imo.

[sparky]

Well at least this year we won’t be able to say we weren’t given a warning…….

[Joans Town Jones]

@Tordah and you see the ABs going to the final after that? We wont get passed the QF.

[African Monkey]

@Tordah Exactly. It's a meaningless game at the end of the day. Rather it happens here than in the QF.

Some of the pre match talk coming out of the ab camp about wanting to make a statement is looking a bit comical now
