@canefan He’s been afraid of contact for the past five years. His first instinct on receiving the ball is to get rid of it before someone hits him. Needs to retire.

Yup. He knows he's one knock away from being out

[taniwharugby]

Still some bang average kicking

Without getting negative, it’s worth remembering we led at halftime in both games last year

Our bench was so bad last season

[frugby]

NZ playing the conditions. Some of his delivery been a bit shit, but reckon the ginger has done okay under a lot of pressure.

[KiwiMurph]

Parker has been a real highlight. Dude is into everything

[Bovidae]

Just as well Jordan caught Sititi's pass for his try as he has dropped every high ball.

Why have SB and Vaa'i swapped sides in the scrum? It isn't helping.

Two good tries and a whole lot of very average rugby.

Loving the attitude and testicular fortitude from the boys.

But McCaws crop would be 25 ahead at this stage.

We are still a sloppy rabble at heart.

Parker our best on show so far.

Wouldn’t mind seeing more rugby, less shitty box kicks.

Need to shorten our attack a bit to minimise the errors. Some silly penalties late in that half, but good to see us hold them out and force a few errors on them.

Christie a mixed bag, but I thought overall okayish.

[BorderJB]

Great game, just full on everything, one upping each other on different parts of the game.

[MiketheSnow]

NZ need to tighten up

SA are one pass away from opening up the backline defence

I think in these conditions we are destined to see a hell of a lot of kicking

A win will paper over the cracks (if we can be so lucky)

They'd have to stop kicking it away first.

[nostrildamus]

Who would you replace/move in the second half?

They weren’t world beaters all the time. They even played some ordinary footy at times.

[MajorRage]

Awesome start, Vaai pumped.

Boks worked their way in via their forwards.

Christie awful.

Please no second half lull black ….
