All Blacks vs Springboks II

[kev]

Our kicking game is still crap. DM appalling decision. When we keep it in the hands we look good as well.

[steelpotato]

Both teams playing deep and spreading it wide. Good to have the lead and the break now as sa felt like they were building some real momentum last 5 minutes there

Ref and his team not good.

Missing loads of obvious shit from both sides

The Boks have been infringing and getting away with it? I haven’t seen you comment on those

Both sides living offside

[booboo]

Will take that.

Our backline looking to start to click.

Should be up by more.

FFS what was with that lineout option at 35mins. Throw to 2 and maul. It was a car crash in slow motion.

[MajorRage]

Teams have opposite problem.

Boks, brilliant game plan, but execution letting them down.
Blacks, no game plan, but execution pretty good.

Both have one clear counter to the above. Kolbe try, and AB overthrown lineout on attack.

[jimmyb]

There’s something about Beauden and McKenzie. Play 10-15mins of good high quality rugby, then they use that as an excuse to justify absolute dogshite decisions.

scrum doing ok clearing it quick, but gee, bit of a worry

[Tim]

Wind direction?

[Jet]

Has Mils had a hair transplant?

[sparky]

Springboks making this tough, especially for our backrow and half back. Their rush defence is extremely well drilled.

I still think we'll win, but I'm a bit worried about this ref.

A quick look on X and the SA rugby fans are spewing at ABs getting away with everything at breakdown, scrum time, line out, ref being biased and poor Springboks aren’t getting the benefit of being the angels that they are. Serious victim complex.

It's Ike we don't want to maul anymore after Argentina 1, when that was what won us that test.

[sparky]

@Tim Not really a factor.

Yeah, second half could get nasty

[Frank]

Simon Parker everywhere

[jimmyb]

The good news is that the ABs are matching and at some points , dominating, the bok physically. Don’t look nearly as timid as they were 2-3 years ago

[Frank]

Did the Boks mutilate the Oz scrum?

Only loose forward for the ABs that is actually doing the job of a loose forward
