Springboks vs All Blacks 2

@Canes4life we don't need any reminder of who the ABs are mate. Even as our greatest rivals you've had the wood over us for most part. Little purple patch here for us sure .. but we know any game is always 50/50.
And that makes it great. Enjoy the occasion this weekend. Should be epic

You too mate, and I know the Kiwi and South African rivalry is usually always in good taste but there are always a few from both sides that get a little too big headed. Go well on Sunday, but not too well.

@ACT-Crusader the funny thing about Savea's 2023 form was he played fucking TIGHT. Think back to those RWC play-offs. He was all graft. Carried in the tight, actually hit rucks. Was far narrower than at any other time under those coaches. He was like a different player. Less YouTube shit, just hard footy.
Big ups to his Japanese sabbatical. Perfect preparation for test footy
in fairness, it worked for Jerome. He came back niggle free, fast and fit.
He was the exception tho, more come back weak
unless I am totally misremembering
-
Marc Hinton is a giant fucking idiot who should be ignored at all costs
-
@mariner4life yep and I loved it. He was a colossus in the final 3 matches because he was in those tight exchanges that really matter in knock out footy. Maybe we need Cane to get red carded again for him to be that player…..
Looking forward to when the team gets announced and the ensuing gasps!

Marc Hinton logic - "BB dropped for shit kicking and option-taking - pretty keen to see him get a run at 10 though eh"
And he makes it sound like Beaudie is some newbie - wanna see him tried there - like he’s never played there before and without any regard to the fact he has put us under quite a bit of pressure in his most recent outings in 10
-
@JK how long do you persist with an injury prone player like Blackadder? If he has two more injuries in the space of year I’d be tempted to invest in someone else. I love his intensity in principle but now what are our 6 options. I’d rather have someone like Akira.

the big turnaround in Foster's ABs was finally putting BB out to pasture as a 10. Everything turned on that one selection.

are there many players in this squad that are playing better than they did in super rugby? should be better coaches, better players around them so they should get better...feels like "everyone" was playing above themselves at super level...and now getting found out

Not sure why you're asking me? I cant stand Blackadder, nor have I commented on him in recent times. Try @Bones or @mn5 those two just love a chat about random crap. All the best.

I don't get the love for BB at 10.
-
@mariner4life I thought the team also started to improve when Jordie moved out of the 15. Too slow to be a major threat into the backline. Decent defensively though.

Excellent point. Finally someone brings up Akira!

The new assistant coaches had a bit of an impact?!
