The Silver Fern

Just had a physio session with a Safa who worked on the SA Sevens team. His view on the All Blacks:

"Forwards are pretty good, dunno what the f**k you guys are doing with your flyhalves but your weak link by a mile, is your centres".

He really doesn't like Ioane & thinks Barrett might have a longer term injury. Just one mans opinion of course, but I thought worth sharing!

@MiketheSnow said in Autumn Test 2024 : Wales v Australia:

Worst NZ performance this weekend?

This excuse for a ref

Love your comments on the Wales games.

As you keep us all in check on our one eyed for our own games, it's good to see you are just as bad come your own team!

Dolman is far from Wales biggest problem.

Interesting. Ref blows for dangerous clean out but reviews show it wasn’t.

Is it better to stop and review or wait for TMO and continue …. In this case shouldn’t have stopped but certainly a conundrum

Aussie looking pretty sharp. Wales. Not.

A crap year by AB standards but decent by all others.

I think Robertson has a good platform to build and launch on.

I worry about our attack vs good defense and our ability to capitalise on breaks.

For me BB is done and Barrett needs to back the team more with his captaincy decisions. That last penalty was kick to the corner all day. Even if we blow the maul and lose possession we get a lineout at most 30 meters out.

We just don’t look like getting over the line here. Literally or figuratively.

We have e gone back to RC mode … just can’t score points

French defense strong. Need to do some kicking.

Don’t think I’ve ever written that.

That was stunning. Viva la France!

Smartest team in intl rugby vs dumbest.

Itoje player rating cannot be above zero.

Are England trying to lose?

Even Austin Healy is making sense.

England own worst enemy.

@akan004 said in England vs Springboks:

Why would Itoje try to contest the ruck after the English knock on when it's just going to come back to a Bok scrum, and the Boks can now scrum for a penalty.

He had to come on after 20 mins. Must be nearly cooked ….

I’ve moved my position on itoje.

From over rated, to shit. He’s been awful. Rag dolled and ineffective.

Cracking game. Both sides really going for it.

Expect SA to run away with it tho

Keep them running England. Only chance you’ve got!

Oh look. A prop is injured.

Smith running past that fat fuck designed for 30 mins of which half is on a knee was beautiful.

@Smuts both, honestly

Sterling game for a neutral!

Argies refusing to go away, Ireland discipline pretty poor. Williams doing a good job too
