Christie is there because of injuries, hopefully 1 or 2 will be back soon enough -otherwise be nice to see what Preston can do starting.
We really need to move on from BB at 10 Give Dmac the reins and Love to the benchWe definitely need to start giving Love more game time. We could easily have an injury crisis at 10 like we have at 9. He needs experience and they need to start giving him some.

My Dad was at Eden Park in 1956 when the All Blacks secured that famous series. I have listened to and watched hundreds of All Blacks games with him.
He died on Tuesday.
That one was for you, Dad.
Genuinely sparky, mate after reading that room got a bit dusty. I am sure your Dad would be smiling as he looked down!

How the fuck is that not a YC?
Because it was bullshit?
At least the TMO invented a high tackle to save face.
Comedy.
Shoulder to the head
YC and off field review
Mitigation as attacker was falling in the tackle
Stays YC
Been ruled that way for years
Not tonight
I understand your logic, but I really don’t like the typical interpretation. If an attacker runs head first into a static member of the opposition it’s not even really a tackle, let alone a dangerous one.
IMO the attacker ought to take some responsibility if he charges ahead recklessly.
So me a penalty feels appropriate in that specific instance.

We spent so much of that 2nd half in our half because of our poor kicking. Christie in particular - the tactic seem to have him kick all night from the base - but some of our heads up options on turnovers were so poor.
Christie's kicking put us under pressure in the second half, but it is hard to criticize the effort. We really need a halfback with a longer kicking game though. Is Roigard out for the next game as well?

@kev said in All Blacks v Springboks I:
The intensity at ruck won us the game. But we will need to be better at scrum.
A hallmark of Razor Super final wins.
-
@Old-Samurai-Jack there was one moment where we had created space for the kick, he ran from base with lots of room and sliced it off the side of his boot. Lineout on 22 after a sustained period on D. Execution in those moments says a lot about players. Jus not good enough.

I have no confidence for next week. Like the Argje games we started well and regressed, letting them back into the game. If they were better they would have won, and will probably beat us in Wellington next weekend
Today was perspiration not inspiration.

@canefan on the other hand a win over the Boks has to be good for the confidence.
Better than a loss. But we aren't learning
-
Very happy with how Parker and B Barrett went.
Surprised how shit the scrum was, especially after subs. I've never seen Lomax going backwards at a rate of knots.Turning over the ball juts before the hooter was rage-inducing
Pretty intense game, quality average but both teams had to fight with tough ground conditions.

Wow that was such an exciting game. That last 20 mins was edge of the seat stuff, and I let out a few yells that woke the dog. I was interested to see how Christie, Ioane, BB and Proctor went given the flak they tend to get on here...and they all played well. Most of Christie's passes were quick and straight and he both attacked and defended strongly. Pity about Narawa, I hope he's ok.
