Great to see Harry Plummer there.
I'd have gone for AJ Lam in the midfield ahead of David Havili.
It's a shame there is no room for Hoskins Sotutu in the backrow.
No arguments above the rest of the squad.
Paddy and Stevie were crocked and Lord and Plummer were already back up.
Never wish harm on a player, but it would have been delicious to see how The Ray Band would have coped with Jacobson being unfit!

I really don't understand why they continue to select Havili only to continue to keep him in civvies on match day
He should start writing a book because he has better access than anyone in the press
He's a token All Black. A rubber stopper for a door gap but not a very big one.

A 12 with an accurate cross kick is gold against the Boks’ fishhook defending.

Hmm, not sure “gold” is the right word for that limited skill set. It’s not like we can’t cross kick from 10, and sometimes it’s kinda nice to be able to run straight and hard at 12 to keep them guessing.

Can't DMac and BB do that? (Edit: maybe JB can or can't, I can't remember this from him).

@nostrildamus they can, but think it works best off 12. Sure Jordie could crack it with a little practice.

What a beauty this one was. I love the crushed look on Willie Le Roux's face after Bridge scores. Perfection.
Proof that Bridge could break a tackle!

@MiketheSnow He won seven Super Titles under Razor so it's safe to say he really likes him.
Except he's shit against Tier 1 teams. His level is not high quality Tests.
Springboks in 2022 were Tier 2?
😀
He has one good game and gets kissed on the dick for the rest of his career....

What I find interesting, all the talk about ellis park being such an intimidating place to play ,and I’m sure it is , we seem to enjoy that challenge.
We have won 5 of the last 6 there , it seems to be a ground that has brought out the best in us

-
wait we are not kissing Havili on the dick for that try are we??? The most important person in the whole thing is Aaron Smith, who whips that wide pass, then backs up the winger, AND cleans the ruck.
The kick pass wasn't even needed or that great, the winger has to stop and get it, and beats the defender with a goose stepFuck our standards have dropped

I wish we could have cloned Aaron Smith
his pass is just sublime. Incredible player and you see what he created.
Hell, his passing kept the Highlanders competitive for years by letting them attack 2 or 3 channels outside the ruck.
/sigh
I miss him

Aaron Smith was our lineout MVP because his pass turned 2-ball in to attacking ball. Made life for our hookers a lot easier

Nuggie was the best passing halfback I’ve seen , I know there have been other great halfbacks , better running games or kicking games perhaps.
But when it comes to distribution, he was the goat .
