All Blacks vs Springboks II
-
Well ,as I had posted, today was my 71st birthday and was looking forward to this test so much. I then watched the worst AB performance I have seen live in my life, by quite some margin.
I can handle a loss happily, but when I think the players look like they had lost interest, to say I am pissed is an understatement -
@ACT-Crusader 46 tackles missed is diabolical

Yes the number isn’t great, but I’d be more concerned about our poor completion rate overall and the fact we could not capitalise on the Boks poor completion rate also.
We got chances but as the territory stats show we were fighting it up hill with our poor kicking game and lack of just methodical play from 10 or 15.

Given the problems with the high ball coming into the game it really was a crazy decision not to pick Clarke.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

Least Jordie seemed to care, saved a try and the big fat 50 being put on us. 12 tackles
Our best I thought, even if that is about the lowest bar imaginable.
Seems hard to believe that there was once a time when I thought he was the undeserving Barrett re selection. -

How much damage has that 40 minutes done to All Black rugby
@Darth-Sader everything is up in the air now.

I am sorry the ABs served up such a disgusting shocker for you.
Taking nothing away from the Springboks who were outstanding in the second half, I hope some of the players, coaches and senior administrators involved in that appalling All Blacks performance feel thoroughly ashamed.

Would you kindly fuck off with that?
Will not be watching it, ever.
However it does need to be on repeat on every screen anywhere near every single person who’s involved with the current AB’s set up.

@Duluth That second half was every bit as ugly as the one at Twickenham against France in 1999 in the World Cup Semi Final. At least then we had Jonah the Great on the pitch to sprinkle a bit of magic amid the rabbits caught in the opposition's headlights.
I am going back to New South Wales County in 1992 for an All Blacks performance that has left me feeling so thoroughly disgusted and angry.

You'd expect Savea, S Barrett, Sititi, Kirifi, B Barrett, Lomax, de Groot, Proctor, Jordan to all get dumped for the next game. Vaai was shithouse too.
