Very poor from the boks today, but showed heart to stay in it. SFM made plenty of mistakes but will learn for next weekend.
Boks to roll out a B team as the RC is safe
Rassie already throwing the newbies in at the deep end, and needs to do more of it.

R LoveHard to argue with that. Is Love with the squad in SA?

Didn't get the order right as it was a copy and paste from else where. Fixed

I can't see how that's an excuse.

Is Groot available?
And naming XV is a bit pointless, need to consider the bench too.
Can't see many changes unless Groot and Paps are back.
Maybe Love to bench for Telea.
-
maybe a little random .... and can't see it happening -
But are we using NZs Stirling Mortlock too much at 12 rather than 13?
I just like the idea of Jordy hitting hard on to ALB short balls and deft little passes...

He’s also got the pace for centre as evidenced by his intercept

Agree, not many changes required.. plenty to like from the team this week.
Suspect TJ will have some "honest conversations" regarding staying in the moment and focused....(red vs Blue brain) not just the early penalty -I believe there was another moment where he chose to protest rather than act which resulted in a Bok turnover. That aside he played well.Thought Canes performance will be good enough to keep Paps out, even if he's fit. (Paps hasn't done much wrong in fairness)

A decade too late

The "best player in the world" has come back from Japanese rugby to find Test rugby is a massive step up. All Blacks should only be selected out of Super Rugby.
Unfortunately New Zealand doesn't have an in form number eight or blindside flanker to replace the two that started the first Test. Pity the Blues weren't any good at confrontational forward battles this year.
I also can't see why anyone in their right mind would drop Rieko after the game he had.

Yes but I think he can influence even more at flanker. And I thought Kwagga was deadly. Again.
