wow those last ten minutes, where have they been all game? Most exciting match of the RC.
Richie at 10 is great for the attack because he plays direct and add TJP who speeds the game up. It’s a good combo

I would like to start a petition that rugby games be shortened from 80 min to 70 min! Any seconds in the room?

Bench was unreal - Savea, Patty T, Mounga and TJP all had a huge impact. It was like the 14-15 bench where they just hit a switch and changed the game on a dime.
Bender did a couple of things in that 55-70 minute period that stopped that game from getting out of control.
Nicely done - very reminiscent of a Bledisloe in Brisbane 2010, where they pretty effortlessly scored two pick and go tries late after being hopeless the entire game.

comiserations, but you should try and rejoice about the huge improvement the Boks have made in the last 12 months, clearly right up there

I'm on that train now. Mo'unga looks made for test footy and Beauden loves space. Also solves the right wing problem.

He seems to have more space back there. I would like to see it in the dead rubber game.

@billy-tell Against South Africa? Every time. Smith is too small for them.

Tough luck mate, your boys were clinical for 70 odd minutes, really shut us out of the game. Just need to work out the final 10 as the ABs have finished the stronger in both tests this year.
Great to have SA back competing though, the rivalry continues.

The backline we finished with is well balanced. Crotty is a 12. ALB’s quick feet and straight running is suited to 13. Bender and Barrett at the back had all the Bok kicks covered. Ioane stepped up a gear also.

The funny thing is, the dodgy stream I was watching paused with the Boks in the ABs 22 right after kickoff. It unpaused like 10 seconds later, with the All Blacks on the Boks 5m line. I knew right then it was game over.
