The point is, if the ABs can minimise those errors that lead to tries and create a bit of luck, they're well in the fight despite how poor they are playing.
That and if the ABs can score more points than the Boks should lead to victory I reckon.
No shit.
You translated the gust of my post very well.
Got any aunt's with balls?
Sweet retort.
No shit.
So the board bellend then. Good to know.
Depends on the definition. But yeah cool were you around for the Irish series? Could have done with knowing then that if the ABs just tackled better and also runned much hard and fasting they wouldn't have had to worry about the other guys in green.
You've covered all definitions.
Any suggestions on the kicking? What if we kicked better than the Bokke?
Oh also, if could do scrummaging and lineouting better that might help eh.
But what if we beat them on the field, but not on the scoreboard?
( I'm pretty sure that was uttered by some low-level provincial coach in the dim and distant past)
Sounds like a Cheikism!

I am rooting for the boy big time now.
Hope he turns into the second coming of Carl Hayman.
You know you're old when an All Black's Dad look young.
Huh, fuck yeah go me! I'm not old yet.

Talk about feeling old:
Was this the series Jeremy Thrush was called into the team and played awesome before buggering off overseas?

Probably.

Just imagine (yes I know it is hard for some) if the ABs do the unthinkable and channel their 2007 French vanquishers and beat the Boks at Ellis Park.
Would it classify as a major upset?
Depends who you ask?
Foster
Just a matter of time

just a bunch of soft lads who don't like it when it s cold and wet. don't like the graft. flat track bullies who only come out to play when its a nice day. lads who are too nice. sea gulling out on the wings. ruck inspectors.
they score the 9th try in a 60 point drubbing but are nowhere to be seen in a close game.
those kind of lads.
Conditions are likely to be warm and dry. I don’t think this will magically result in an AB win.

I used to back us on a dry track. Not so much any more

The slightly weird thing about this game is that it feels like waiting for a Black Caps/Steamers/Chiefs game. Even when the All Blacks have been up and down in the past, I always still expected them to win.
The current All Blacks now feel just like all my other teams, where hope is usually the biggest part of the anticipation

@Donsteppa could be worse. Could be like a Warriors game.

Facebook and/or PR seemed to have leaked their way into the Fern.
I think I might keep away from this thread until the post-mortem (maybe until the gloating stops). It's not good for the mental healthWhat?

Sir Graham Henry's plea: This is not the Kiwi way - it's time to back the All Blacks
OPINION: The All Blacks need your support - whatever happened to the team of five million?
Henry has asked all NZers (5million) to get behind the team (the 23). But didn't include the coaches 😜

"Former England and current Leinster coach Stuart Lancaster says the All Blacks’ lack of clarity under Ian Foster is the reason for their freefall down the world rankings and home series defeat against Ireland.
Lancaster and The Roar analyst Nick Bishop joined Harry Jones for a special edition of The Roar Rugby Podcast this week that included a fascinating chat about the role of coaches in the modern game."

I was going to list the Warriors and Phoenix etc, but that would indeed have been too depressing pre-match.
