The Springboks won't be easy meat this time. They are always hard to beat in their garden.
Yes they will.
Not any more.Retrograde step to go back to the first XV out of "fear factor".
And there we go.
They were easy meat.

Poor old George Moala. Gets on in time for an absolute route and just ends up as the nearly man in the back of every shot.
How the fuck did we end up losing Nonu and Smith and end up with the perfect hybrid in ALB? Kid is killing it.
And to think both those guys got into the side due to injury, which says everything about our depth -
ALB is a major find. Looks world class already.
SA got their just deserts for circling the wagons and going back to 10-man and the boot.
Lambie a very ordinary 15.

@broughie not sure if you missed the aussie media felchers whining about the abs lack of humilty .Its pathetic but basically boils down to them actually having nothing to give us shit about when their own game is a shambles .
Its like your neighbour with a fat heinous girlfriend saying to you "you shagged Scarlett Johanson? Mate , her little toe is so ugly".
They can snivel from the sidelines while we watch our team make history.
Again. -

@JayCee I'm actually very keen to see them paired up, ALB at 12. Think they would be a bloody good combination.
True, although my preference would be ALB & Moala.
Crotty is very solid. But I'd love a bit more x factor in the midfield combined with the rugby smarts and skill of ALB like we had with Smith. -

I'm at halftime. Groan at the TJP try decision, groan at the Retallick non-try decision.
Evens out I guess.
Still stink though, to have those decisions made.
Rolling the ball on the ground has never felt OK to me.
Why the hell weren't they talking about Kieran Read and Sam still being bound to Retallick??? FFS, what they let people bind in mauls, and then pick that up. Poor decisions

Well played Sir.

@Billy-Tell You're dead right. ALB looks world class, and it seems we've found 50% of the RWC 2019 midfield already. An extraordinarily quick jump he'.s made.
-
The weirdest thing with ALB is he wasn't really in the frame until injuries struck. They were still really keen on Seta and Fekitoa.
Can't really remember the last All Black who snuck in on the back of injuries and then turned out to be what we are looking for? Maybe Brad Thorn when he came back?

This is from South African media after the game. Made me laugh
"The All Blacks haven't lost at Eden Park since 1994 so the chances of them not getting the record are almost zero, but the way they are playing at the moment you'd back them to win a game played on the moon against the rest of the universe with no limitations on the number of players that team could include."

Well they are the Men in Black. Much better weapons at their disposal, but as a bonus these guys will let you remember.
