RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)

Scott Barrett had a great game.

Yeah he did. Where are all the gimps with Tuipolotou >> Barrett.

There’s a reason Hansen went with Barrett.

Patty was also excellent when he came on, put in a number of massive hits which is the point of difference he provides. Both had very good games.

Good to see SB go well, allows us to use Patty as a weapon in the last 30 mins.

@Billy-Tell Oh yes we should mention Shag, have to give the man some credit when it’s due.

Yes I would be very happy with SB and Pat T on bench providing impact come QFinal.

African Monkey

@No-Quarter Exactly right. Love the way Pat stops people in their tracks. He made some big tackles when South Africa were hot on attack.

Siam

Very very satisfactory. Gave the home unions a fright with 15 odd minutes video footage of Warriors style rugby against a willing rush defence and come away with 17 "flukey" points.

I've never seen a dominant team, the boks, so shell shocked

It was bizarre seeing the ABs playing like a bullied under 13s team while we unpacked the new powder.

Props tackled well.

Tu'ungafasi played really well. Fronted up to the big fluffybunnies and was good supporting Reece when he irritated some bok forwards.

Pat T hit well too.

Was funny watching nugget be all regal and calm over a ruck and then we'd unleash a back peddling hot potato play, for a while.

You got the sense we were creating broken play as much as possible, especially with the contested box kicks.

Really good and impressive win - under the first game circumstances - against an expectation laden and fired up Bokke.

We played it different and clever

Ugly look replacing the skipper ( who's not a hooker) with 30 to go and a shot at the win. Hope he was injured.

Mostly our defence is what I'll watch in the replay.

Yayy. Great start

Mokey

That first 15 mins was pretty shite, but once they settled, they looked good. I do like BB at fullback and a bit of space to wind up. Hope Cane is ok, he looked VERY pissed when he ripped off his tape. Bit concerned with the first up tackles, and how our scrum looked near the end, but other than that a good first outing against quality opposition. S Barrett had a great game.

@ACT-Crusader of course we have to be better than that or we get to win shit that is not a good enough performance to win a WC final
If that’s as good as we get we are fucked

Loving your positivity.

At this stage I would have ALB/Crotty midfield start again vs Boks. Goodhue will really have to show something special to break into the match day 23.

As probably will BFA & Reiko. Happy being in that position.

@Mokey commentators said cane passed test. ABs coaches normally very cautious, so they just kept him off, and he wants to be on, I guess

Also hats off to Coles for not reaching to ask the off the ball and Jersey pulling he was getting. Targeted but didn't react

Also how fit is Titsoff, that man got through some minutes.

See you all at FT to discuss a glorious victory.

Oh come on, put your balls on the line and make regrettable posts during the game while the emotions are running high!

Told ya!

He's a ginger, so not technically human

Rembrandt

Very happy with that result, also looks like we are unscathed too. Sara's don't look so fortunate in the injury dept
