Absolutely pathetic performance from the ABs. I honestly can’t remember a worse performance across 80min. So glad we already extended the contract of the coach who got them up for the big occasion.
Hopefully that is George Bridge’s last test. Ben Blair mk2.
He was meant to be the high ball guy. If he can’t do that, what does he do?ABs Very lucky Boks showed no interest in playing rugby. Even doing that they should have won. Those who said they were going to be easy beats are looking pretty stupid right now.
Short memory, Argentina 1 2020. Much worse and we lost that
And England WC when it really counted,
Same game plans against us and we don’t cope well. -

Put in Smith, Whitelock and Mounga and we would have gotten a better performance.
Sure but there was still so many unforced individual errors. Would've still been there
Hopefully cooler heads under pressure.

I think the number one thing at training this week will be accuracy.

Under pressure.

Bizarrely, Bridge catching the ball would have stopped this being so close. That howler was the reason for such an awful game
As soon as he made his Micheal Collins impersonations and cost the try, the Boks weren’t doing anything else.

Why can't you guys play that shit against us?
Boks always lift for us. This has happened before.
Do you think it was the Boks pressure or were we just really shit?
That was mainly us. The Boks have been poor all year and the Argies played like them. We put them to bed.
For all the ref was mystifying, it wasn't him dropping passes or being absent at breakdowns. That's on us.

What really gaps my axe is that the first 11 points for the Bokke were gifts through brain farts. Piggybacking penalties downfield, incredibly poor skills, and shit decisions. And yet that's almost enough to win a game of footy.
Take that away, and they have absolutely nothing. A push on the 9, and something else - a scrum penalty?
Next week, more accuracy, different ref, its' on like kong.

SBW should be seen and not heard. Bloody hell.
He dropped straight into banter with ya mates chat
It's really all he's got. It's a really tough gig and maybe he should get some proper training and practice before going on live TV. Right now he's terrible.

@chimoaus Yep. Him at 13 and Rieko at 11 would have been nice.
With the performance of Havili tonight, we might need ALB at 12.
I think we looked off in so many areas that few came out looking good

They constructed nothing offensively
