MotM vs South Africa, II
-
@dogmeat I commented in the match thread - noted the ABs were being pretty loose with ball carrying at times, but the saffas were specifically targeting the expected offloads and trying to spoil the ball anyway possible. It was pretty smart... until the ABs corrected it.
-
I went BBBR, ALB and Crotty.
There's no way I could reward Read for his first half performance, neither Ben Smith who had his worst game in living memory.

This ALB looks the business doesn't he!
ALB, Big Beast Brodie Retallick, Read....but pretty much anyone could have had a vote today.
Really? I know the score said otherwise but that was a really inaccurate sloppy performance for a lot of the time. I thought there were quite a few players that shouldn't even be on the voting list, either for playing poorly or not really imposing themselves.
TJP was a microcosm of the overall performance. Scored a brace but had a crap game otherwise. I haven't seen an AB halfback pass that badly since forever (and I praised his passing last week)My votes went to ALB, Kaino and Coles
I gotta say I thought that was one of Kainos worst games! he just looked off the pace and tired I was hoping he'd get yanked earlier than he did... Cant remember seeing him get held up in the tackle carrying the ball like that before either.
Loving ALB - gotta say I never thought he was that amazing at the Chiefs - but fuck me has he stood up and grabbed his chances with both hands. Biggest difference between him and Fekitoa is that instead of trying to do everything himself he looks to free up those outside him.
Agree on TJ - annoying when you read articles saying he's really putting pressure on smith.. err no.

@Tordah there was a tackle in the 2nd half that Whitelock put on a saffa forward that sent him backwards. It was a real bonecruncher.
