:Shitty unconvincing win we need to be a lot better then that to win the WC
No we don’t. All we need to do is win the game. Who really cares how.
-
Doesn't matter how you win them at World Cup time, as long as you win them. Great stuff grinding out a crucial win.

:Oh, FFS that fluffybunny Kearns saying Garces was giving all the 50/50 calls to the All Blacks. Someone smash that smug prick in the face.
He is a cock of the greatest order

@ACT-Crusader Exactly. No need to get carried away with how we play on the big stage, as long as we win them.
-
There is a randomness that Garces brings and I’m pleased we dealt with it relatively well. No cards is a big tick for me.
-
I’m really happy with that win. We only had to crack open the barrel of powder for 10 - 15 mins to get the job done. Need to save plenty for the knockouts.
In seriousness that was a really tough first up game, SA will be very hard to beat, they’re massive and can go the 80 even if their attack is not as potent as other sides.
A loss would have made the long break (12 days?) to our next game feel like forever. Can now sit back and enjoy all the other big teams go hammer and tong safe in the knowledge we got our tough game done.
Would love our 100th against the Boks to be the final. Best of luck to the SA posters on here for the rest of the cup.

@booboo flushing the dunny is from a shit performance, that was not shit, was not even average. It was good, awesome in places, they'll build like last time. Happy with that game, tested, not found wanting.
You won't see a better performance by any team in the opening round, I'd put money on that.
Negative noo noos

Well. We have a candidate for the 2023 edition of "Best of RWC" Classics

He's not smug. Just deeply, deeply bitter. (deeply)

:Fuck Kearns is a piston wristed gibbons.
I don’t even know what he said but agree completely

Short thoughts:
So much precision in the AB play - hardly any mistakes. Handling really impressive
Crotty didn't go off injured
BB at 15 is lethal on counter-attack
AB defence was outstanding. Ritchie has serious wheels
Bridge and Reece or BFA & Reiko. Who'd be an opposition coach?SA 11 & 14 look real class
Kolisi is a good captain - kept his team together when it could have fallen apartLike the way the ref let the game flow.
