Unlike the mindless performances against England in RWC2019 & Argentina last year where the team lost their collective heads, they do seem to have calmed themselves down and got some control back.
Saw some good signs in the last 10 minutes of the 1st half of adapting to the Ref and the Bokke tactics. - just need to stay focussed
Fingers well and truly crossed! It's a style we knew was coming, but the old plans and smash in the face. Lots of newbies and second stringers out there. Many never having played the boks. And boks are up for it, ref is enabling their style, and is a shock. Hopefully coming around

@antipodean Would Havili look worse than Bridge on the wing? He is a fullback so should be able to at least catch.
Why? He’s not even catching passes.
What about kicks..
I see the limitations, no point having Rieko as wing cover if there is no 13 cover, but if there is no wing cover what do you do? -
I'd give Akira the first 10 and if he doesn't get better, get Sotutu out there. Same for Bridge. They both need big halves.

I'd like them to pull Bridge and Akira asap. Move Rieko to the left wing and bring on Tupaea. Move Blackadder to 6, Ardie to 7 and bring on Sotuta at 8.
And Havili?
The midfield (Havili and Rieko both) has not been functioning well, but to me that's mostly due to lack of good game management and lack of support from some of the forwards.
I’ll say it again, they’re not doing well but I think they’ve been getting shit ball from tj and bb, it’s not coming fast enough to get past havili

Forwards aren't dominating. So everyone looks shit

“Tidy up our carry and clean game,” says Plumtree. What the hell does that mean?
Don't drop the ball, and clean out the rucks better.

@kiwiwomble Yep, spot on.

And some rubbish service from TJP who has been poor.
BB shuffling the ball sideways and not taking the line on. -

Carry with a bit of purpose too.

Maul set up from kick off. TJ goes blindside to a marked Bridge.
Dumb rugby won't win this no matter how well we execute.
-
How was that not straight in the side of the maul again?
-
Sounds to me like BB needs replacing and the 9 within 10 minutes..need quicker delivery...DMac will at least give that based on his last performance.
-
Good start. Not going for 3?
-
Boks drive stright in the side of the maul.
Ref: "it's a tackle".
