Every arrogant fluffybunny who talked about how the Boks couldn’t hang with us should have a good look in the fucking mirror. They play differently and they are fucking dangerous.
Terrible captaincy.
Bad performance by a lot of players in black.
Great performance by a lot of players in green.
If we were so bad and they were so good you'd think they would have won by more then a penalty in overtime.
That was a great test, so much better than last week. Both teams made mistakes but also had moments of pure brilliance, and the end of the match was absolutely hectic. Love test matches like that.

Shit tactics. Didn't adjust to their ruck tactics.
Very poor captain selection.
No real game plan worse

We weathered the storm again....won the scrum, took the ball upfield and with 30 seconds to go, a basic error gave the Boks the game.
That's not all Foster's fault, that's the players on the park, particularly the senior players.
It's incredibly dumb play to be soft at the contact trying to recycle and count down the clock.
Just had to control the breakdown. But we failed to do that for most of the game

I blame TJP and Mo'unga at the end. Pick and goes are always 50/50.

Can't win all the games, ABs 2010-2015 vintage was something special. It's still a very good team, but losing so many of the World XV was sure to have an impact. Still very likely the best team in the world, Boks lost three on the trot and ABs just the one. But Boks played better on the night.

Enjoyed the game, not the result but SA came to play and play they did! SA worthy winners.

Our lineout is an embarrassment.
Our forwards are allergic to attacking breakdown.
We need a change of players, and a change of coach for the forwards. This is embarrassing at this point. And it's not like this is a new problem, our forwards have been lazy around the breakdown since at least 2018. I don't know why, but any time we get counterrucked, you can be sure there'll be a couple of forwards looking right at it two metres away.
We seem to deliberately commit the bare minimum number of players to attacking rucks; it may give us an extra pod to pass to but it costs us so much possession and penalties, it's such dumb rugby. But we persist with it anyway. I'm so sick of this shit.
And to be fair, this isn't even a criticism of Foster, this predates his promotion, this is just how we play and it's showing no sign of changing.

Not sure we were offside. But Ref was throwing penalties around at the end.
Just saw a replay... Will need to look again, but not sure we were offside. May have been an earlier phase?

@yeetyaah Dead right. It clogs up every ABs thread haha. We got smacked around up front and the Boks actually use the up and under very well and attack off the back off it. If they had a more rounded fullback, they'd have finished us off earlier imo and probably taken another opportunity in the 1st half.

Exactly. And a bit of praise from the peanut gallery wouldn’t go astray either.

Who was calling the lineouts? Whomever had a shit game.
The only real unforgivable one was that throw to the front when we are 5m out.
Ardie looked to have called that

Mo'unga really struggles against teams like the Boks and England who are super physical on defense. He got smashed when he came on and hardly featured after that.
