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.

Yep BB is not taking the line on at all.

@stargazer jeez…do we have an another honest 7 option? He also looks fast

[canefan]

We front up in the forwards and we can light up the backs

Blackadder has been decent.

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

Best forward on the field. Fantastic effort.

Codie probably second.

BB kicking has been pretty dire, and the backline has just looked very average.

Very good playing out of position.Only his 2nd game at 7.

[Machpants]

10 turnovers, 5 drops. FFS

[nostrildamus]

So how good is the Bok bench?

We have played superbly for the first two minutes of the first half.

He looks way more comfortable at seven than six.

[canefan]

The game is playing out exactly how the boks want. We need to win this in spite of the ref and ourselves

How the fuck are we in front. That has to be the worst stats in a long time.

Fuck yes

Poor control at the ruck, poor service to TJ, poor service by BB and Havili stinking up the place.

We're lucky to be in front with this shitshow of a half.

[gt12]

Jesus, I’ve got SBW on and he sounds like a retard.

We need to up the intensity, play faster and we will storm over them.

[No Quarter]

Frustrating half

Some of our best players in recent weeks have been error ridden - Akira, BBBR, Beauden. They need to sharpen up big time in the 2nd 40.

Jordie has been brilliant. Blackadder not put a foot wrong.

We are ahead though, have a powerful bench, and the Boks are likely to tire faster than us. Further to that, all of the Boks points have come from really poor errors. Like schoolboy stuff. Other than that they haven't looked like doing anything, meaning if we can just be a bit more accurate we can shut them out.

Also the constant stoppages are insanely annoying. Ref has to be held accountable for allowing that.
