The Bokke have perfected rush defense tonight.
They blurred the offside line v well and got away with it. Smart play.
On another day, you'll get pinged off the park. That's the chance you take.
They should have been tonight
Really poor officiating
-
@MiketheSnow it went both ways. The All Blacks had to defend much more.

Foster really doesn't seem that upset about destroying our legacy does he.
But look at his awesome numbers, under after Hansen's two year over stay, and Foster's tenure we've gone up from 1 to 5! That's gotta be good, right?
Fifth ranked in the world, and Foster says it was our best performance, what a fluffybunny

@Victor-Meldrew yep and it rubs off on play as simple as Carries. At its simplistic form it’s a collision sport where you have to go 100% we look like we aren’t enjoying it and our Carries reflect that. No damage done. Watching Ireland-SA And even watching Argies now they carry with passion and intensity. Seems simple. That’s why they always say it starts with culture.

@Steve said in Springboks v All Blacks I:
is he just refusing step down so he gets his pay off?
It seems we are into that sort of territory now.
He won't get another good gig after this.
He probably was going to head off to a nice retirement lost-RWC. He'll get a fair amount of speaking gigs as the "first ever AB coach to be sacked". In a tenure with lots of firsts, getting sacked will be his last.
Unless something quite spectacular happens next week and the ABs run riot against the Boks with a display of panache and guile that was nowhere to be seen today.
Foster will be coach next week. Best get used to that one.

Woke up watched the game, screw the officiating, we simply sucked. Apart from Samisoni the rest of the tight 5 were simply outplayed. As for the props both sucked de Groot played well off the bench. Maul defence was better, scrums pathetic, lineouts average. No dominance at the breakdown. What is going on with our backs? No creativity, nothing.
Foster is STILL an absolute moron when he says "that was the best performance of the year' faaaarrrkkk ne that was our biggest defeat in SA in 94 years. And the next line from the moron " execute and play with a smile on their face" what the actual fuck is this the Waitemata Under 10's??? Don't forget the oranges dick head.
Sam Cane has to go, played like a donkey. -

an argie just got coat angered high by a wallaby.
Argie 7 is straight in for some handbags with the offender.
Allblacks are lacking that mongrel and solidarity right now.
Do you think it is coached out of them to reduce chances of getting carded?

Cane having absolutely zero to say in the face of all the saffa offending was horrendous.

You know what I hate about post match interviews? It's all the 'little bit' and 'wee bit' understatements. Fucking stop being so mealy mouthed and come out and say it liked it is. At least cane was brave enough to say 'we didn't fire a shot into the first half'. No shit, Jordan didn't touch the ball, I'm not even sure we made it into their 22 with the ball first half!

I said it during the Irish series.
From the written media , to the pundits, to the Allblacks twitter account to Cane to Foster.
A bunch of BETA's at the moment trying to be everybody's friends.
They are a neatly packaged brand. Not a nasty rugby team who will roll you over and spear tackle your granny.

Not sure but as I allude to I have noticed it at all levels. They actually don't whinge enough anymore.
Look at what Biggar, Sexton , Owen Farrell , Rassie, Eddie Jones get away with.
The Allblacks have been overly stoic since World Cup 2015. Not just spiritual guardians . Moral high ground guardians too.
From Poite and Garces railroading them in the Lions tour to Angus/Porter-gate in the Irish series.
They just suck it up on and off the field.
We are being beaten in the papers, on the telly, in the stands, on message boards, in the dugout and on the pitch.
