Look here’s two immutable facts that will hopefully move us all to next week’s second match thread
-
Brace joins a long list of ‘blind, Irish referees’
-
NZ, biggest choke since Michael Hutchence
- Not sure how he found the line.
- He wasn't Kiwi and the ABs were underdogs.
Regardless of whether the ABs were favourites or underdogs they had the opportunity to run away with the match and choked. Fact.
You suck Mike!

OK. Rewatched 60 to 75.
Blacks on top of Bomb Squad Boks from 60 - 63 when they get kickable penalty.
APPALLING OPTION. Take the kick. Over and game over. Miss and you get ball back.
Then we try Boks shift maul on them. WTF! We had edge in maul so KISS. A few phases and probably another pen or try.
They get lucky turnover and we try two Rieko specials, the second leading to another turnover.
WHY CHANGE A WINNING GAME?
That is where we took foot off throat.
That set move from the line-out was bizarre, I couldn't believe we tried it after the earlier success we had mauling from the top. I agree, that was the losing of the game, we should have buried them anyway never mind the Mbonabi try that shouldn't have stood.
We should blame ourselves for not finishing them off when we had the chance to against a decent, but overrated Boks outfit. Like, they're number 1, but no standout.

This match thread keeps on giving. I've finally caught up. Anyway...
@Machpants said in Springboks vs All Blacks I:
Press pointed out that we are 0-34 in the last twenty mins for the RC.
And the full story is that in the 3 RC games so far, the ABs last scored in the 52nd, 41st and 51st minute.
That’s pretty extraordinary

FACT: the truth about events as opposed to interpretation.
Your opinion is an interpretation. -

It is so ordinary that it is extra ordinary

Cane Kolisi impact. Isn't Kolisi falling in Codie's tackle?
To me it seems more he falls onto Cane rather than Cane actually pulling trigger on tackle, which he seems to do after contact.
An Andrew Porter soak tackle.
Or an Ethan Blackadder "receiving" tackle to quote Gardiner.

@pakman said in Springboks vs All Blacks I:
@Jet at first I thought that, but Kolisi is falling in Codie tackle. At the very least a mitigating factor.
No such excuse for Porter.
I finally got around to watching the hit. I think Kolisi was falling In Taylor's tackle, and Cane did tackle quite upright. I don't believe there was any malice. But jeez it happens so fast, it highlights how dynamic the game is and the margins between getting away with a shot like that, getting a YC or getting a RC are super fine, and on another day Cane could have had any one of those three outcomes

@voodoo said in Springboks vs All Blacks I:
I haven’t watched it again at full pace, but on those stills it’s hard to argue that Cane got low enough isn’t it? Looks like he could have done more. Certainly a yellow and a review for me
Definite flaw in his technique. A lucky boy this time around.

Apparently we kicked 28 contestables and got the ball back 2 times.
What a sickening stat. I remember one bomb, Jordan was bearing down on the saffa receiver, and he just stopped running and let him catch it. So many other kicks where we just don't chase, or the kick is poorly directed and doesn't allow a chase

Jordan realised there was no glory in it for him, so opted out. Doesn't matter if it's good for the team or not.

Boks kicked 34 times to get the ball back 6

You'd wonder why teams do it so much with that rate of return.

No one seems to know when the contestable kick is coming, so we don't contest. The only one I remember us winning was won by Clarke

Not every kick is contestable
