All Blacks v Springboks I

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.

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.

NZ need to tighten up
SA are one pass away from opening up the backline defence

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

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.

The kick is the springboard
And having to grubber because the ABs not getting pinged for offside

Seems to me we are a bit light on backline versatility and speed with Narawa off. Drowning in 15s in the 23, but not many fast / versatile wings. Having a specialist 12 on the bench might be a little restrictive.

Will won’t be getting Air Jordan nicknames any time soon.

NZ playing the conditions. Some of his delivery been a bit shit, but reckon the ginger has done okay under a lot of pressure.
Problem is that he's the one creating the pressure half the time with his fuckaboutery.
