Ardie nails it in the post match comments. Need to bring that first half effort every week.
A speech I've heard time and again from about 2019
It’s like this generation of players can’t stick to a game plan for 80 mins. Instead we loosen up and play rugby with lots of kicking in attacking situations. If I was coach I would be pissed.

Proverbial Game of Two Halves...

Are we still hot on Jordan at fullback? Two absolutely fucking prime examples of what I keep yapping about.
Beauden suuuucks at first five.
Vaai was great as a loose 6.
Some gorgeous brutal hits from DP.
Good to see Jordie given a game plan that suits him.
Fuck Rieko, a centre's bread and butter pass is the short/medium to a guy in space. Double down on that training and I'm sold.
The penalty for the Matera "steal" should go on the WR site as a perfect example of bridging. Laughable.

Or maybe the opposition have a better halftime strategy meeting?

I wonder what they actually said at halftime. Definitely an improvement on their white flag waving in the first 40.

ABs used to drop off in the second half even in the Carter/McCaw days.
Game was over at halftime and we used the second half to give guys a run and try some things

How do you all think Cane has gone?
Better than his previous game for the All Blacks

The way games go to shit when teams empty the bench is another advert for less subs per game

The boks games don't, so it's to do with the players and coaches, not the rules

But they still looked cohesive.

TJP is an enigmatic player. Much better performance in fairly average conditions. And I don't think there's another halfback who could've set up Jordan for that try.
But in dry weather we need faster service from rucks.

And the reason why we haven’t won the last two world cups. We have to find a way to get better against a Bok team that is big and physical and will execute their game plan for 80 mins.

No points for the last 37 minutes, that's shit

@Stag Other sides are looking to run round Props.
If props can make several early, hard hits, it sends a massive signal to the opposition.
Both Lomax and Williams did that tonight. Their work in the tight was excellent too.
You are right Williams needs to work on his ball-carrying though. Technically he's not as good as Lomax yet IMHO, but my God he's a talent.

I’m a Williams fan, but he had 2 runs for no run meters and made 9 tackles. He scrummed well but overall was adequate rather than superb🤷♂️
9 tackles for a prop is good
Not to mention earning 2 penalties to dig your team out of a hole and destroy the opposition's confidence. Weird take eh. Was only on for 60ish mins too right?
