All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham

@Steve that's because Foster is a moron. Had he not lost all those games and spent 3 years trying to find his team, the ABs would be in a much better place.
Fark me the best hasn't played more than two tests together. They beat Oz, beat SA. Two weeks later changed the entire team. 2 weeks later, changed the entire team. It's now 2 more weeks, our best team got pinged off the park, couldn't put together more than 3 phases, couldn't kick 50m and defend, couldn't hold a pass, lost half our line-outs and now we have to beat France with a team that hasn't played together other than getting humped sideways. Those saying you can't blame Foster, the players don't pick the teams. They certainly don't rotate themselves. They don't forge the game plan. Foster has, lost to Argentina for the first time ever. Lost to Argentina at home for the first time ever. Lost a series to Ireland for the first time ever. And at home. Humped by France. Should have beaten England. Almost lost to Japan. Could easily have lost to Australia twice. Humped against SA. Barely puts out the same side twice and takes the team to a record loss leading in to the RWC. When was the last time this side put 3 statement wins together? None. They had the opportunity this year and fucked it.

Front row okay at the scrum considering the shitshow behind them. But cooked from being on their heels
Sam Whitelock a huge shift
Scott Barrett welcome back. 3 dumb blatant penalties and a red card worthy piece of rubbish. Fuck entirely off
Luke Jacobson non entity
Cane did fuck all, but abandoned by those around him
As bas as you will see Ardie play. An overall negative in attack and defence
Smith given nothing
Mounga is the worst 10 in the world to.have behind that "platform"
Jordie? Doesn't pass except to green shirts. Missed a one on one to give up a 40m linebreak. Awful
Ioane may as well have not played
The wings were good!
BBarrett was shit. At least try and tackle you fucking fairyBench? Dropped balls. Shit set piece. ALB knocked on
Mostly agree. I'm slightly less critical of the backs because of the shit that was happening in front of them. Poor kicking from hand didn't help though
I though Rieko had a tidy game on defence, quite often he was having to cover a couple of attackers and he used his speed well.
Telea somehow keeps beating people. It makes no sense. 11 defenders beaten in a game where we didn't have much ball is impressive

Hot take. Roigard to start v. France.

Not a snowballs chance in hell I’d imagine but certainly gives opposition D something else to look at and probably not too much film on him.
On a slightly related but tangential note….I think injuries in certain positions could actually BENEFIT us, not that you’d wish it on anyone. And I won’t name any one in particular because it would be uncouth.
But Foster doesn’t make bold decisions unless his hand is forced.

Apparently Telea beat 7 more defenders than the bloke in second. Some shift.

Caleb Clarke looks redundant with Telea in that sort of touch.

All 7 were in the kick off take he made most likely

@Joans-Town-Jones said in All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham:
@Rancid-Schnitzel that wasn't a set move to run blind FFS. Ardie accidently tapped the ball blind. Had Talea kicked the ball ahead, they bay have been planted further down field for a while.
Calm down. That was I started tuning in. Regardless, it is something this team is want to do.

Uh this year? Argie in Argie, vs Boks in Auckland a week later. Then destroyed Wallabies in front of 83k in Melbourne.

@chimoaus
And Jordie Barrett’s defense tonight
Sam Cane was just not there
Jacobsen not good enough
De Groot smashed in the scrumsFucking everything was a concern.
I hope Foster has enough space in his dairy for all the lessons from today.
All he has got in his dairy are pies and ice creams
-
Argentina was a statement win? SA? Good wins but hardly statements. They lost both second halves. Had an opportunity to put the wallabies to the sword in DUD but fucked around and almost found out.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah but he was forced into it and it could have come off.

So beating SA in Auckland one week after being in Argie isn't a statement win but losing to SA in Twickenham in a RWC warm up game is an example of blowing a statement win opportunity? That makes no sense.

A record loss is a different thing, tho
