Must say the amount of stuff missed by the officials live is damning.
Multiple forward passes, but after Pakman Jr got riled about one particularly bad one I pointed out that they were consistent - missed a few on each side!

The only problem for the Boks, is that the past method relied on forward dominance.
The Boks did not have that. Not in the set pieces and not in general play.Rassie will be concerned after that. Few savvy younger players coming through, and the older ones may not be sharp enough come RWC.

Not too dissimilar to the ABs, the Boks fell off a lot of tackles. I think they even had a lower tackle completion rate than the ABs. They did kick a hell of a lot though but the difference being the contestable nature of those kicks and the ability to regain possession at times.

Expected the Boks to give Oz a real mullering after last week but really impressed with the Oz performance.
Either the Boks are weak or the Bledisloe will be in serious danger this year.
Without sounding like a sour grape-ist, the Boks have been living a charmed life for ages.
Robbed England in semi final. Robbed us in the final.
They have been getting the rub of the green with calls for years.
Chickens. Roost. Etc
Hilarious.
Genuinely not on a windup.
Water carriers and physios on pitch at inopportune moments. Tactical injuries.
Disingenuous use of the HIA protocols. Youtube diatribes about referees and calls.
Yellows where opponents get reds.A lot of bounce of the ball games where they were very lucky to get the rub.
RWC 2023 was barely believable from 1/4's onwards.Playing the race card by stealth in Lions tour saying Kolisi didnt get same respect from refs as opposition captains, which helped turn the series.
I could go on.
Rassie is a great coach and id go into the trenches with/for him.
But they havnt revolutionised the game or anything. It has been more skullduggery than innovation.
And now another doper found in their midst.

Ok I guess I’ll try and respond to this even though it’s probably a fools errand. If this isn't a windup, then I would say that you are so one eyed that it’s not possible for you to look at another team objectively. I think it’s because of the recent results between the boks and ABs. There are many supporters like you of different nationalities. I challenge you to find one positive aspect of the bok team..
As far as chickens coming home to roost, maybe look to your own team

Even as a mere ABs supporter I can answer that one. The boks won their last game!

Barely. One thing for sure is the games in NZ are going to be awesome. Not to mention the AB Aus games.

As much as I want that to be true (being the top 2 ranked teams in the world) all we have seen recently is some pretty poor, error strewn rugby. Particularly from the ABs.
On the positive side both teams are well and truly capable of better, and it is likely that they both took their eyes of the ball (quite literally) while playing what was perceived (incorrectly as it turned out) as lesser opposition. Subconsciously keeping powder dry for each other, although the ABs powder is so fucking dry it has probably spontaneously combusted.

awesome? We could barely lift a finger in a tiddlywinks competition.
And you have a bomb squad. And tactics.
We're just whimpering underdogs. -

Cards
And therefore penalty try
Big leap but very plausible
