@tim They'd probably pick Hunt ahead of Gibson anyway.

Good defence there. But the Boks looked gassed and out of ideas in that attacking sequence

[Bones]

@tim nah I reckon just select Gibson anyway. World's best players name on the team sheet has gotta put the shits up the opposition.

[akan004]

Frizell lacks the physicality required against a team like SA.

Then Taylor fucks it. Lucky to go in at 6 all

Yeah, the guy that was MOTM last week clearly isn't up to it.

[ShadowTrooper]

@tim what about Gareth Evans?

[ACT Crusader]

I reckon 6 all is a fair reflection of what was a tough half to watch.

Boks attack not great with all that ball. ABs gave away far to many penalties early on and that affected our aggression at the breakdown.

[Unite]

A few of our forwards looked gased as well!

[Stargazer]

The impact from the bench is going to be decisive.

A big part of that is on Aaron Smith. You are the halfback - get the ball out of there.

[Tim]

On viewing of the 2nd twenty that was just an average performance from an average forward pack. Frizell, Barrett, and Savea aren't going to frighten any one.

[No Quarter]

Farking forgettable half. Boks with all the ball but don't look very likely. ABs making poor decisions or errors every time we get it.

Think A Smith had been poor, would like to see TJP eaely in the 2nd half.

We really just need to hold the ball a bit better.

[Billy Tell]

I’m raging that Goodhue is out.

This is a good test of our mettle but after a slow start we are slowly getting back into it.

[Tim]

@kiwimurph Smith had a really shit half. Too small against South Africa.

[Gunner]

If we play at even 70% of our ability in the second half, instead of the 20% we played the first half we’ll be too good for the Boks. All that ball and they couldn’t create much.

Come on Steve give them a rocket.

[Tim]

Question is whether SA can keep the pace up in this half.

They've slowed down significantly

@rotated said in Springboks V All Blacks:

Weird call by Gardner, Bok flagrantly standing offside shutting off one side of attack. Smith passes into him and penalty is declined because it was intentional.

And then the books dive over the Rick and no call, rather gives them the penalty. He's rather shit and seemingly doesn't want to upset the home crowd
