Springboks v All Blacks I

@Stargazer said in Springboks v All Blacks I:
Anyway, next game the Springboks will be without Kolbe and Arendse.
The All Blacks are likely to be without BB.I hope their injuries aren't too bad.
Boks will still have all their forwards next week. Therein lies the problem.

@Bones yes give you that but he stopped a lot of their hooker's drive. I cant see him getting much of a running and linking game back (promising glimpse in 2021 never returned). And he doesn't seem to be winning tackles either. My point was really to srparate the captaincy issue from 7 issue (and i still think Ardie is more of a 7 than 8, our best 7).
He played a very average game. I didn't mention the captaincy there as he achieved zero there.

Faf will have to stand down too.

@ACT-Crusader I put that down because we had our shape we went straight into, no matter what picture boks were showing. but when there defence shut that down we didn’t have another plan which created a disjointed attack.

Fair enough just explaining why I posted that. They still aren't working well together as a trio imho

Wonder who they select at prop next week, Angus T and Lomax didn't convince..

@nostrildamus They don't have much choice. Hopefully Newell will get a run, but I suspect Ta'avao will start again.

@stodders And Foster will still be our coach next week....
He was given 2 matches Vs Boks to save his job. He now has one left. He'd best hope the Boks get a red card in first 5 mins next week.
I would be surprised if a second test win will save him-the same bad patterns / signs are still there.

To be fair, he thinks it's working and they're not far off. Why would he change things now?

He didn't say that ...did he?
even if he believes it you don't say that after a 16 point hiding.
Clutching straws?

My MOTM Kurt Lee Arendse. Maybe small but have a massive rugby heart.
Reckless on more than one occasion
ABs have been coached to be careful. If the other side isn't they automatically gain the advantage?

The injury to Faf should have given us an advantage but it didn't matter a damn in the end. I honestly think NZ would still lose against a 14 man Bok team right now.
And it certainly put paid to the criticisms of the 6-2 bench as well. One back reserve for 79 minutes and the Boks managed just fine.
ABs should absolutely be looking to load their bench considering the issues they've had up front.

4 years of poor planning coming home to roost.
