Good point by Ozzie journo
If there is one area of concern for the All Blacks arising from the match – apart from Beauden Barrett’s abominable place kicking – it is this. They were caught a few times, too slow to re-form close to the ruck, and while Foster acknowledged the strength of the Wallabies in targeting this area, and some potential mitigation around positional and personnel disruption, he duly recognised that this is an area where the All Blacks need to improve sharply.
That presents a conundrum for Akira Ioane, who impressed again in the close channels during the first half. That’s exactly where All Black fans over the years have liked to see their number six; with his sleeves rolled up and his shoulders smacking hard into the opposition.
Yet it was out wide where Ioane tore the game apart
Akira and Ardie mean only one close in 'expert', when we really need two. If our hookers were like Marx, we'd be fine, but they are wide boys too.
This is the point I made re Ioane. Impressive but let's see if he can grunt it up against SA.
He might not get called on to do it, ABs have a loose forward and a hooker wide. Seems like Akira is the loose forward to go wide, might change Vs SA tho
I'm trying to think of times when we've beaten SA using a wide ranging 6.....
We've beaten them with a wide ranging 8 (in Read).
And a tight 6 in Kaino. If Ardie is playing that Read role then Ioane doesn't fit the model (although the game plan may differ to those glory days of Read/McCaw/Kaino). If Ioane is to play that wide role that's fine too but then either Savea plays it tigher or we play Jacobsen at 8 (Savea at 7) or swap Savea and Papali'i's roles.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but sober NZZP now thinks that a Red was the right call.
It was a reflex action by JB to losing balance, but ultimately if you raise your sprigs you open yourself up to the ref. No matter the intent, raised sprigs to the face are going to result in a Red every time. If JB doesn't lift his foot, then it's play on, but as soon as that happens I think Red is the right call. Reckless play, but that's life.

Some English twit on a page on FB thought the red was justification for Umaga and Mealamu “getting away with thuggery” in 2005.
I got some popcorn and was ready to read all the hateful comments but someone deleted it. Stink.

Interesting stat that the Wallabies had more carries and metres made?
@nostrildamus made my point.
Often the better team will have less time in possession because they'll score earlier in possession, and the lesser team will throw waves of attack against a better D.

Tackler must release. So....
So does the ball carrier?
And both of them "immediately".

The media have a lot to answer for.
As bad as all the bullshit was in 2005 imagine how bad it would be in 2021 ? Umaga and Mealamu would cause servers to have meltdowns with all their tearful public apologies they were forced to make.

@nzzp and yet if someones head was on the ground and you kicked it, same result....
Guess the kicker (boom) will be the length of rest he gets.

No Whitelock, Smith, mounga. Savea and Taylor off early.
Still Aussie not even in it, even with 20mins at 14, and a very home ref performance.
Moody, Cane, Goodhue, Coles. Throw in Clarke (although I'd have him outside the XXIII), and a couple of rotations.

Jordie deserves a bit of luck. Best fb last year and probably this also. Hasnt had a fair run I reckon.
Also if BB and JB are in the side, JB should take the goal kicks and touch finders

Much more of this and I may have to consider that maybe Foster isn’t completely clueless.
Sacrilege
