Jeez. How awful have we been on the 2nd half? Fuck
Thought your boys played bravely.
I assume it's not intended to but that reads as very patronising, that was one of the most cowardly AB performances on record. In the last 20 minutes they just gave up.
I meant it sincerely. Within the limitations of selection, strategy and skills your players kept trying to find a way back into the game.
But it’s always going to be a long night if you’re getting fucked up at scrumtime, struggling in the lineout and outcompeted for high balls. And that’s especially so if your tighthead lock is not a physical presence and your 12 offers no penetration or defensive edge.

Rating the All Blacks performers in their 43-10 test loss to the Springboks.
I can’t read any of this but according to the headline the new names shone so sounds like all is well after all

They gave Carter 8, desperately trying to find a positive. He did some ok stuff but also missed half of his 6 tackle attempts etc
Probably the most accurate description of his performance.

So does tonight's performance confirm to us that there is a reason why previous AB coaches got international experience before taking on a massive gig like this?
Razor won 7 titles in a row with his 'quarterback' (stupid term) Richie Mo'unga.
The much maligned Rob Penney just won a SR title with journeyman Rivez Reihana running the cutter......
How much did Razor and his team really learn by staying in SR, being the big fish in a small pond?
Did they need to stay in SR for 7 seasons?

My preference would be to wait until Joe Schmidt's available, then to hand him the keys to the Black Machine (well that's what it used to be).
Warren Gatland, Milton Haig, Jamie Joseph, Vern Cotter or even Robbie Deans could do as interim HCs if needed.
I think the media and NZR need to tell Scott Robertson "that second half was totally unacceptable" and then ask " now what are you going to do about it, radically and today if need be, so there is no repetition of that shambles ever?"

This really fucking hurts
Boks played brilliantly- very worrying that we were unable to respond -

Insipid.
Who is the lamentable twat asking the question at 4:45; "is it important not to react too much, just one that got away from you?"
It's a record loss, at home, you fuckwit where our team looked incompetent at every aspect. This after the "honest review" when we set a new record by losing to Argentina in Argentina.

A group of cliches incoherently assembled. Robertson looked haunted and out of his depth..
