Each and every match I’m baffled that Telea and Jordan see so little of the ball
Aside from Roigard no one looked remotely like breaking the gain line and/or scoring a try this evening
I don’t know that we held the ball for more than two or three phases. We were so poor at retaining possession we never got into a pattern that used our wingers.
Yeah, I can't remember Ioane having too many touches on attack either.

@Chris think the scrums sans SB for 55 mins is not a major, handling and lineout were abysmal.

That diary should be full from the last 3 years of the same shit we saw in this game.
Lessons not learned.We need a meme of Foster at the chalkboard Bart Simpson style rewriting the same learnings over and over.

De groot got done twice when we had our starting 8 on.

@taniwharugby hence my question pre pick off. Would an ABs loss affect the ABs more psychologically than a SA loss. I believe it will. SA can get up for one off games. I doubt we can. Not for 7 at least.
Dunno , we have responded well to disappointing performances in the past ,
My concern has always been around consistency and stringing together good performances , which is what’s required to win this cup , I was hoping we had turned that corner , and then today happens

Lessons not learned.Plenty of lessons for Jase Ryan too. His forward pack got bitch slapped.

Hammering
Boks barely got out of 3rd gear
We didn't get out of first, so not completely flattering.
Both SA’s choice
Not entirely. We chose to:
- Forget how to catch
- miss easy shots
- play dumb footy in our 22 (costing two tries)
- throw poorly to lineouts
- give away dumb penalties
and - play with, on average, a man down for the whole match.
Excuses? Maybe.
Remeber just over a month ago we made them look equally average.
Honestly, that first penalty not given and I don't see this happening.
They need to win contact to play the high risk kicking game. Why would you play a game that gives the Boks territory to play their pressure game?

The first half took 60 minutes to complete.
110 Queen Quids to watch the refs, touch judges and TMO take centre stage.
This, bloody frustrating

Ok, the game meant a helluva a lot more to the Boks than our boys and they have been in Europe for much longer. One of those games under Foster and there have been a few where the All Blacks looked hideously under-prepared for some reason.
Flush the toilet and move on. The real business starts in two weeks time when there is a lot more at stake than the Qatar Airways Cup. A lot to work on ahead of France. Go Black!
