@rancid-schnitzel amazing how the ball retention improved when Mo'unga went to 10 and BB went to 15.
Yeah, instead of handing the ball to our washed up midfield he took the line on himself. Beauden should have done the same.
The added benefit of having a 10 who plays square to the defensive line and takes the defensive line on like Mo'unga does is that it actually helps your midfield (and the rest of your backline) as the defense can't just drift off your 10, knowing he's going stand passively and pass.....

If he even does that - half the time he'll just kindly kick it over to your wings, even when his only chasers are a couple of carthorses.

It looked like an ill-thought out gameplan, poorly executed to boot.
We need to find a way to exaggerate Beaudens strengths while covering any weaknesses, as he's not a tradional 10 by any stretch. I don't think the starting backline for this test really does that.

Yeah, my comment was a little tounge-in-cheek, but at the moment we have a 10 whose obvious strength is running and we are not using it at all.

Another configuration for our backline could be DMac at 15, BFA to 14. That could help Beauden as DMac could play a bit of first receiver, allowing Beauden to drift a bit wider where there is more space.
But they already have a game plan of moving our first five-eighth wide to have more room.
I can accept losing collisions, it happens and just because you put on a black jersey doesn't mean you win them all. What I want to know is if the game plan is necessitated by having some sort of parity or front foot ball to set up conditions in the final stanza? Or are they not adapting to the limited opportunities they have?

I'm not so sure it is (it could be of course, in which case, let's rochampbeau Fozzie, I'll help), however I thnk he's playing what he sees, without thinking about game position or ball retention or developing phase play - just sees opportunity, tries to take opportunity. I'd love to see th numbers, because if it is as risky as it looks, I'd consider asking my wings to take a few steps back and always leave at as a potential option for the opposing 10...

@booboo Probably..... Upon his return to France, Rochambeau was honored by King Louis XVI and was made governor of the province of Picardy. He supported the French Revolution of 1789, and on 28 December 1791 he and Nicolas Luckner became the last two generals created Marshal of France by Louis XVI. When the French Revolutionary Wars broke out, he commanded the Armée du Nord for a time in 1792 but resigned after several reversals to the Austrians. He was arrested during the Reign of Terror in 1793–94 and narrowly escaped the guillotine. He was subsequently pensioned by Napoleon and died at Thoré-la-Rochette during the First Empire.

Apologies for the spelling: Apparently it's Rochambo

How the Springboks blew a 17-point lead
The All Blacks had no right to win the match based on the first sixty minutes, but did, while the Springboks will have to learn the cruelest of lessons after a poor showing in the last quarter.

You want to go first in this game
