All Blacks vs Springboks I

[canefan]

I think the mistakes are due to the step up in intensity. We should regroup, come out and beat them well. Unlike 2019

Big second half boys. Play the percentages and they will tire.

Still playing utter arse, worst game this year apart from Fiji 1. And ahead, boks already look knackered, expect to see their bench early in the second half

[Kirwan]

Need to drag Bridge at half time, not like DMac is bad under the high ball anyway.

For a guy to be picked for one thing at the expense of scoring trys and to fail so spectacularly at it, you have to laugh.

Worst winger selected for the ABs for decades.

Will they? Their backlines basically done no running

[Tordah]

No one can tell me they want rugby to be played the Boks do. This is awful to watch. Ref is shit & an annoying loudmouth, by the way.

[Nevorian]

Missing Nugget also

Akira,BB,BBR not good and bridge shit.

Akira has been as shit as Bridge. BBBR & BB have been patchy.

I'm convinced Beauden's calf is fucked.

He's showing nothing

He looks really poor, but would you risk giving Dmac a chance here? He could really show something with his passing game. Or lose it for us all on his own.

[nostrildamus]

How about TJP's performance? If BB can't run perhaps a faster passer would help?
We can replace a lock, put Rieko to wing, take off Akira and put Ardie to 7 and Ethan to 6..any other changes?

[Tim]

Good point about BB not running. Suspect that the team is not backing itself 100% to play the game plan.

[KiwiMurph]

At least the haka was good

You mean a play maker?

Shovelling the ball on. Kicking is dreadful.

The only person who can hold his head up is Jordie. Maybe Codie .

[broughie]

@chris I agree but I hate looking at what is not on the field. He is back in NZ.

I’d take Ralph over him. Even at his current age.

@akan004 said in All Blacks vs Springboks I:

Blackadder has been decent.

Best tackle stats thus far, too. 6 tackles made, 0 missed and 1 turnover won.

[Tim]

Would love Whitelock and Smith in this half.

Yeah well anyone who can add a bit of intensity into the backline

Yep BB is not taking the line on at all.
