@nzzp The worst of his decisions were not taking the 3 points when they were on offer.

Fair point, but he probably didn't think his team could bugger up so many try-scoring opportunities. If one had come off there would have been a 2 score lead and a different game. Changed tack at the right time, though.

That's test rugby. And that's the boks. Take the points on offer. You have to bury them one spadeful at a time

[canefan]

If we take those points the pressure goes up as they are forced to chase the game. Which may have made it easier for us in the end

[No Quarter]

I had SB as a pretty clear 3rd. Not a high bar admittedly but he did a lot of work in the tight, strong with ball in hand, and unlike everyone else didn't drop the ball 20 times.

[ARHS]

Jordie and Blackadder are easy. Has to be one of the bench after that. I go for Weber for what he added but could have been Tupaea or Taukeiaho. What happened to our lineout tonite?

Gut feel is Jordie, Ethan and Ardie.

My votes. Although I had Ardie in front of Blackadder.

[Bones]

Just Jordie.

Kwagga Smith my MOTM.

Jordie for the winning kick, but he struggled under the high ball

Over Kolisi?

Jordie did better than Bridge!

I'm pretty sure we weren't watching the same game....

[Old Samurai Jack]

Jordie, Blackadder and Scott! SB played a good game!

[sparky]

Jordie, Will Jordan and Ardie Savea. Blackadder all good.

[BerniesCorner]

@oompb Are you watching AB v SA 2021, just checking

[BerniesCorner]

Blackadder is the new McCaw

Will Jordan

He was far from good. What is it about this guy that he gets a free pass? He was the worst winger on the pitch.

[Frye]

J Barrett, E Blackadder, S Barrett

[sparky]

@bones Got my vote for this. Great timing of the run and acceleration.

[Bones]

@sparky you even voted for him? For doing what you'd expect of a quality wing in one moment of the game? That's pretty ridiculous.

[sparky]

@bones Tries win games and Will Jordan got the meat pie in this one. Quality work, Howlett-like.

[Frye]

It was good work to get there, Bridge wouldn't have.

Agreed - he was solid. Which is more than can be said for most of the team...
