Why can't you guys play that shit against us?
Boks always lift for us. This has happened before.
They used to lift, now they just stop.

Tj actually stops interview to watch a haka, most impressive thing he’s done all night

We often do in the first game.

Weber looked good when he came on. Should have come on much earlier. TJP is like France, one good game one absolute shocker.
Unless his bounce passes are picked up by someone who decides to go God Mode, he's just pants. Sure Havili made a meal of a couple of runs, but one of the passes was straight at his fucking head!
TJP is the guy you bring on when you're 20 points up, clearly. Spends too much time arguing with the ref and being a smart arse. Sure that's a scrum half's job, but ffs work on your executino under pressure.
You put Smith in at 9 and the ABs win by 15.

Do you think it was the Boks pressure or were we just really shit?
Boks pressure to an extent. Their intensity and line speed was good.
We didn't cope well though.

I foretold this. Its always the same

What a crap, error-strewn game - fucking awful to watch and WR really needs to do something about the stoppages.
A poor AB performance but we dogged a win when we really didn't deserve - dumb errors all over the pitch - but collectively the team deserves a lot of credit for that win. Unlike the RWC Semi against England, there were enough clear heads out there to get us over the line and change tactics when needed
The big takeaway for me from this game is that even when playing like shit, this team can re-focus and get on with the job. That said, there's a shedload of stuff to get sorted out.

Give them credit for that. Nothing else

SBW should be seen and not heard. Bloody hell.

@hooroo When Akira made a big carry to their line in the 2nd half, and he was nowhere to be seen.
Smith on the field we score there.
And he creates control. For me, he can read the game like no one else. TJ was like a headless chicken
