TRC: The All Blacks against the Springboks (version 98)

[Toddy]

@Tim pretty sure that was Bones. But he's from Eastbourne so don't be too hard on him.

[Kirwan]

@hydro11 problem is he’s stuck at fullback instead of directing the team.

Accuracy. That’s the key word.

The one they forgot about?

[MN5]

@Tim said in TRC: The All Blacks against the Springboks (version 98):

About the 5th game in a row from Read where he's had fuck all impact. I heard a rumour during the week that he's below his previous strength.

In terms of conditioning ?

[Machpants]

Aside from beaudy, and mullet man's one run, none of our backs have made 10m with their half dozen or so runs each. Todd read and Taylor have made 1 or 2, Sam 7. The rest 0 metres, what the actual flecknog?

[98blueandgold]

@Tim agree just not sure what he offers around park anymore. Just not a physical impact on game when that was his trade mark.

[Tim]

@MN5 Yeah. Hasn't come back to where he was.

Not getting younger and years of being smashed around. Yep makes sense.

[Kirwan]

Great, now Grizz is on TV to give me even more 1991 flashbacks.

[KiwiMurph]

@Machpants Rieko needs to catch the ball then he might be a chance of making some metres.

[Toddy]

I reckon we'll come right in the second half. Good to see the Boks playing well. They've been missed.

[Tim]

@98blueandgold Still tries hard, but not the same impact, probably not speed either. Really hope he's just trying to peak for the WC.

He is a bit out of form, lacks his usual confidence which is another concern

[Donsteppa]

I’d believe that we’re keeping our powder dry if I hadn’t seen the 2017 Lions series...

[akan004]

Has BBBR had a run yet?

[kev]

Early days. Mounga will settle in. Quality player.

The hope is that they emptied the tank in the first half building that pressure. Will depend on how good their bench is

[Frank]

Certain Bok forwards simply more powerful than anything we have.

Or it could be his dramatic Rodders/JC decline.

[Toddy]

Bloody lucky Jordie isn't playing
