All Pinks vs Boks - Christchurch
-
South Africa are absolute world beaters, luckily for New Zealand we have political interference which allows your boys to remain competitive.
There are already very few teams that can keep up with AB's for 60 min, RIP those captivating matches we as spectators used to be treated to.
There is not a tier 1 coach in the world that would accept the criteria imposed by SARU. Until that changes, we will continue to unravel.

Bit of a weird game. Hardly a vintage performance but far too good for a pretty pitiful Boks team.
What is terrific is how TJP isn't playing like a bitch. If he can keep that up we are in farking clover. A big problem in recent years is TKB not being able to ramp up the attack when he came on. TJP can be absolutely farking lethal if on song. Fingers crossed.

Sumo just tweeted that this was the ABs' second equal highest score v South Africa.
That cant be right. Off the top of my head we won 55-35 (97?) and 52-16 (03)
Im surprised i remember those scores lol
although, it may be the 2nd highest in nz

They're now confirming that in the aftermatch discussion

By my calculations, if any of the 6N teams can keep the losing margin against New Zealand below 18 points in November internationals, they'll be the number one team in the normal world.

Another thing.
Fekitoa isn't the answer at 13. Problem is that there aren't too many alternatives.

Does this mean we have won the RC?
If Argentina win all their remaining games with a bonus point, and we lose all ours without... Argentina could win.
Otherwise, back in reality-land... yep. Sorted. -
@mariner4life : Care to elaborate?
@PN you Haven't been world beaters in years. Who are all these amazing players who aren't here?
Yea, we are lucky, but not for your reasons

The All Blacks are lucky they're not playing England.. England would've exposed their weaknesses

We wil have to wait 2 years to be shown them too! Surely Steady should divulge that info to the other coaches to take down the ABs?

Stuck out a bit as somehow just not quite up to the level of the blokes around him.
And yet, at Super level has done some amazing shit.
Guys like Nonu were better in black than they were in any other colour. Not everyone can do that I guess.

Much better second 40 and a good win in the end. Thought Gardener had one of his dhitter games. A few poor calls but still much better than most refs. Surprised they didnt go upstairs for Ardies try. I think he might have been about to when BB was lining up the kick as the replay was on. Then the replay cut off quickly. Well done producers. Would have liked another slow mo look at TJs non try. Though the ball may have just touched the ingoal a frame before the line.
Ardie had a fairly good game. A couple of good carries. Especially leading to the Ben Smith try. How many tries has Smith scored now. Seems to consistently get over the line.
J Savea also pretty good. A few strong runs and a decent finish for his try.
Fekitoa up and down. Bloody frustrating to watch. Crotty decent but man he seems to get injured a lot.
Hope Kaino isn't too badly injured.
Great to see the scrum go so well. Has been our lineout dominating lately.

I'm hoping that with Moala back to fitness, we'll see the Crotty-Moala combo again. That's the combo I liked most during the June series.

Funny you should say that. I was thinking given the absolute shittiness of the opposition so far, Italy might yet give them a game.

Moala or ALB at 12 with Crotty 13 for now.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Once Moala gets fit he could come in. I think he's a better player than Fekitoa in every aspect, the problem for him though is that there is no real reason for Hansen to change a winning formula so I don't expect to see Fekitoa out of the centre position anytime soon.
