All Blacks vs Springboks II

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.

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@Dan54 Happy Birthday.
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.

Ended a few careers. As this should too

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.

Just watched the post match interview with Razor. Cannot believe how soft the AB cheerleaders from SKY are with him. Sickening. They really don't seem to care that the legacy and the brand has been absolutely shattered tonight.

My take was Reado and Mils were trying very hard to be professional. But it was clear what they thought; both basically said they just witnessed an All Blacks team give up.
Not a compelling argument for the "great motivator".
