All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham

Thud! Back down to earth.

That's the complacency enema administered

Mattasaurus

Flush the dunny and move on

14 men for most of the game.....
Well done SA firstly
We didn't fire a shot really - too many errors and were soundly beaten

There are going to be a lot of "learnings" and a lot Foster burns this week. Going to make for some excellent reading through the week.

Certainly disappointing performance but its not the end of the world and I think the ABs will galvanize from this.

Bring on the RWC..... France opener is going to be awesome.

Yeetyaah

Tough game, nothing to say.

What a crock of shit!

I did not expect to get up at 4:30 and watch our biggest ever loss.

lineout, scrum and handling can all be fixed, the mental scar from this, well, that will be tougher

Hammering

Boks barely got out of 3rd gear

KiwiMurph

Well done Boks. Smashed us.

Toddy

Boks have had their hands on the ground all night when going over the ball at the ruck. Pity we never adjusted.

sparky

Thank God that’s over. Stuff of nightmares.

Machpants

Full foster result there, even I was getting a little bit hopeful about the cup, but back to reality

Old Samurai Jack

Physically smashed

Canes4life

Well played Boks. Smoked us.

Damo

Disappointing but losing a man for 45 minutes is not easy to recover from.

Not great but we can move past this.

Now the players have a reminder of the level required in the coming weeks

I think they were down to 14 for longer than that.

Well done, Bokkies. Enjoy!

Worst performance of Foster's tenure? Worst of Ryan's.

@Damo well 55 for him really....

Billy Tell

We were worried about injuries. But it’s the headspace that was smashed.

Reminds me of Schmidt’s 2 RWC exits with Ireland.
