All Blacks vs Springboks II
-
From the starting 15,
Savea was the only LF who stood up,tight Five were shit.
Jordie was great , Weber and Reece played well.
Reiko was pretty good apart from a couple of dropped high balls.
Beuden Barrett had a couple of great runs but generally was pretty shit.
He didn’t control the game at all.
Savea is just not a Captain. -
Yeah... that hurts.
But - the Bokke deserved that.
Around the half-time mark - I was kinda thinking "is this what it looks like when powder is kept dry... and then actually brought out for use?"
Coz... yeah - they played the full game... using what worked against us from the last game, but then also bringing in the backs and counter-attacks.
Well done. Fuck ya.The negative view:
...yeah, I'm with the view that we should have been able to defuse all of that with tactics, Plan B, coaching, blah blah blah. And we just plain didn't. -

It's incredibly dumb play to be soft at the contact trying to recycle and count down the clock.
That wasn't the only dumb thing on display tonight, not by a long way.
And whatever character the team was showing in the last 2 games (and it was great to see) went missing tonight. No-one seemed to be taking ownership when things weren't going well - players seemed to be just wandering about.

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
What about the one to the front when 5m out

Shit tactics. Didn't adjust to their ruck tactics.
Very poor captain selection.
No real game plan worse than last week,we learnt nothing.
I blame TJP and Mo'unga at the end. Pick and goes are always 50/50.
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.
Eh? He took the line on at those two forwards and got in between them and behind. Created a penalty for us.

The base . -

OK call. Poor execution.

How is it the Wallabies can put the Boks to the sword?

They always rise for us. Always

The base .He needed to demand the ball from that ruck and TJP give it to him. As I said play territory and kick into the corner with time nearly up. You know, like in the 2015 RWC SF.

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.
I think it was a great test too, but most on here we’re talking about how we were 15 points better. That’s karma coming home right now.
We aren’t. We’re very evenly matched abd we might want to recognize it. Ardie would be the only forward who shaded their opposite tonight, but only as a player. All told their front 8 was better than ours all night. We need to wake up to that.
Yeah for sure. The Boks really do have a mental block against Aus though. Like we fucking smacked 7 shades of shit out of them in their own back yard, how could they lose to them and then counter our game so much more effectively? Rugby is a funny game...
