We are due a good game of rugby with the South Africans.
2023 Twickenham was dire and so was the WC final.
Two of the most mistake ridden , disjointed games of rugby I've seen involving the ABs.And the refereeing/tmo involvement was a thundering disgrace.
I will never have that match mentioned without saying it.
Im still fucking seething over it.
I still can't believe no one is talking about nor, talked about the forearm from Kitsoff into Frizell's head that caused him to ilegally fall over and risk the life of the ground beneath him.
You're new here. We gnashed over that, Cane's RC vs Kolisi's YC, and the performance of the ref and TMO for a long time after the game

Cane at 6 and Paps at 7 is gross from an attacking perspective.
I think we're more likely to see Cane at 7 and Papalii to the bench than that combo.
Neither carry or link well, and neither is a genuine lineout target.
In theory Papalii should be a good lineout option as he's the tallest of the loose forwards not named Finau. However, you seldom see a 7 used in the lineout due to being positioned at the tail.

Also I’m sure he can be pretty good with ball in hand too. More dynamic than Cane

Agree - he used to run and link well (back int he day). Maybe he's bulked up too much and slowed down?

Agreed - someone above threw it out sounding like sauce - hopefully not

Happy days on D I guess, small things
His theory for beating the rush is to go to the second channel and have deeper playmakers coming around. Argues that you occasionally will be caught deep - but that you make rushers really get uncomfortable going deep, and give your 10/15 time to size up and make decisions.
Yes, Scotty Hansen often did that off Mo'unga, Jordan, Burke at the Crusaders.

We dont know his weaknesses at fullback in tests, because he has had no meaningful minutes there. He is Schroedingers fullback.
They're the same weaknesses we see at SR level, just magnified.

Yup. They bottled it. Give Frizzlemynizzle the straight red he deserved and we’re probably not having this convo.
Hadn’t seen anyone carded for it before or since.
But I’m not one bit surprised seen as Mr Soak Tackle himself was holding the whistle.
Sent off the England Captain in the premiership final.
Sent off the Allblack Captain in the World Cup final.
A narcissist of the highest order..

That must of been what Keo and Zels were on about yesterday. They said it shouldn’t have even been a penalty.

Pleased with the backline, would certainly prefer Ratima but can see why they haven't thrown him into start.
Paps missing out all together, replaced by Cane who they obviously still rate very highly...
Happy to see Finau on the bench, he could provide some good impact late in the game.
-
I reckon Tim might have had a hand in selecting the back row.

Is Dalton fit?
Has he just been dropped?
