Great D

Good defence there. But the Boks looked gassed and out of ideas in that attacking sequence
-
Frizell lacks the physicality required against a team like SA.

@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.
Yeah, the guy that was MOTM last week clearly isn't up to it.
-
@tim what about Gareth Evans?
-
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.
-
A few of our forwards looked gased as well!
-
The impact from the bench is going to be decisive.

Then Taylor fucks it. Lucky to go in at 6 all
A big part of that is on Aaron Smith. You are the halfback - get the ball out of there.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@kiwimurph Smith had a really shit half. Too small against South Africa.
-
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.
-
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
-
SBW has looked a bit shit on defence IMO, also forwards conceding too many meters outside the scrums.
-
Cane was the only guy playing like an AB and he's out. Fark.
-
Aaron Smith had a shocker. His kicking was off. Lacked awareness to allow Faf get him at the scrum.
Took a poor option after scrum going blind to an isolated Naholo.
-
We can't blame the ref either (yet).
Angus been pretty good, apart from that weird deliberate call.
On that, I kind of get the sentiment, it's the vibe, but I reckon it was incorrect.
-
People need to lighten up. Dominated in the stats...even on the scoreboard. If that is all SA can do with so much pill then if we even get 10% more possession in the 2nd half it should be enough.
Ben Smith has had a positional mare. I’m thinking about BB to 15 and Mo’unga to 10.
-
Pretty happy to be tied at half time. I want to see a bit more ambition in the second half though. We seem to be a bit gunshy about using the ball. Counterattack and using width is our strength, not kicking it away at every opportunity.
-
@no-quarter Hold it and control it. Better decision making. Cut out the dumbass stuff; 50-50s, shit kicking and slipping off tackles. Oh and we might want to have some plan on attack as well. That is if we can ever get the ball and keep it.
-
@shadowtrooper Don't make me laugh.
-
@billy-tell Yeah baby, that's what I woulda started with!
-
@billy-tell I don’t want to lighten up, I want to to see us play decent rugby. Don’t think it’s too much to ask...

Yeah early on he looked passive and fell off a few tackles. Late in the half he got into though and put in some good tackles.
-
Get the ball to Rieko in some space in the second half please.

Rieko’s playing?

The 1014's huge experts are Mexted and Cullen. wah-wah sound

@tim said in Springboks V All Blacks:
@bones One day he will play a full season and then you'll know, you'll know!
Yuh huh.
-
@kiwimurph All they're talking about are backs - mostly on the bench. Not impressive ...
-
@tim Bloody glory boys, backs
