All Blacks vs Springboks II

[ARHS]

Well played South Africa! We seem to be overcoached. Too much in their headspace clouding their instincts and ability. And I don't think we have enough rugby intelligence in the leadership group. Plenty of doers, not enough tactical smarts.

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.

It was vs Sydney wasn't it?

Ended a few careers. As this should 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.

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.

@Duluth This one in Penrith in 1992.

Like watching an ABs VS Boks game from about 2013 but the roles reversed

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".

What time are the BFs kicking off?

And the remedy is the same. Dump the idiot coach.

@Duluth I can't remember an AB half of Rugby that bad since that Sydney game in 1992 and certainly none in my lifetime in New Zealand.

How much did NZR spend for that drivel?

@Chris Yup, Proctor has shown nothing at test level. Just a passenger.

He looked pretty disappointed with himself when he went off. His body language just isn't up to scratch.

[sparky]

@canefan An hour and a half's time.

[canefan]

I don't even know what to say. That team just shat on everyone that honoured the jersey before them

Hopefully they can fly the flag for NZ after the Wahs and the ABs failed

The coaches, players and senior administrators involved should feel thoroughly ashamed. A terrible, terrible day.

Haven't watched the rest of the post match coverage tbf, only the interview with Razor where I thought all three of them were pathetic.

[brodean]

For me there are better players that can be selected or could have been selected however the current players aren't this bad.

This is a complete and utter coaching failure.

I pointed out at the time it was similar to Kirwan's meaningless corporate psychobabble "Better never stops"
