All Blacks vs Springboks I

@steven-harris Yep, it's really annoying to watch that negative play. It's just as bad as watching football players faking injuries.

World Rugby really needs to look at these continuing stoppages, you get penalised for a delayed put in at the scrum time so why not delaying walking to a lineout..?
Easily solved, give the boks velcro boots

Where's all the love for Akira gone? And the hate for Blackadder?
The fern is fickle
Each week one Ioane has to get opprobrium on here, it is TSF DNA. The keyboard warrior equivalent of Highlander.
Rieko doesn't get much does he? Playing him out of position does, and we'll it should.
The dot down technique when he was winger comes to mind.
😄 Yes well when it cost him a try we suddenly shat the bed. Hasn't got much recently. Funnily enough he's been playing brilliantly recently.
I can see how people prefer him at 11. The thing is we don't have many 13s and he does have potential and pace there (and can pass ok on occasion) and he is still young.
I'm a Goodhue as 13 fan but I don't have high hopes he will recapture his form (played at 12, injuries), and we have to have backup for ALB.I nearly wrote "I can see how people prefer him at 11 even though he's no George Bridge." But then TSF might blow up...

It’s pretty pathetic at times.
Certain posters ignore anything good they do and pounce on any mistakes.
Yet gloss over any mistakes their pet players make.
To be fair you were pretty hard on Blackadder last week and you are pretty gentle on Akira. Not a fault, we all gave our faves...
And as I said last week, when did our standards drop so far that that many missed tackles and penalties gets a pass?
If he did that this week that’s a loss.

I will start it ,was Foster re signed to soon.
No progression against this negative type Rugby.
Argies last year, last game against England, we won tonight but we do not react well to this BS rugby.
WC,s are won playing this way History tells us,Very disappointing as the WC is supposed to show case Rugby.
Do we need some rules thrown away and simplify the game.
I don’t want to watch test rugby played like that to often. -

BB kicking has been pretty dire, and the backline has just looked very average.
He wasn't the worst on the field, but no AB backline runs smoothly when Beauden plays 10. We used to get away with it because he was brilliant, but now we have a #10 who barely runs and who passes badly.
Despite Bridge's utter awfulness, and some of TJ's passing, and the shitty lineouts, we had enough running ball to do something. But with Beauden at first receiver it never happens. For me he is now far behind Richie Mo'unga. It's not like we even need him as a place kicker.
Put Havili outside someone else, and he'll be fine. It's not like ALB really shone outside Beauden either.

But but… he was holding his head…
The other thing WR need to crack down on with the reffing is the players in front of the ball. The Boks are the masters of it and there were at least 3 tonight that an AB defender was impeded. If I want to watch NFL, I’ll turn it to ESPN.

Error ridden game - full of terrible catching and terrible passing.
I'm going to give our boys a bit of benefit of the doubt that the ball must have been slippery in the humidity (was it humid?).
Surely it was too awful to simply be incompetence by almost everybody?

It almost was as a lot of players knocked on and missed tackles tonight.

It was nice of them to share the load so Blackadder didn’t have to do it all himself

... and they got shit for it. Play poorly, get criticised. IT's the Fern way
That needs to be accompanied by some Mando gif or meme.
