All Blacks vs Springboks II

Word of advice from Europe. Get rid of BB. It beggars belief that NZ do not have a better fly half than him or that they continue to use him.
Years from now you’ll look back and say what were we thinking all those years if you don’t already.

Bit unlucky on that scrum.

Replay on Lomax side shows clear pen against Boks LH for collapsing onto knee.

Very very harsh full arm penalty at the scrum. Both props genuinely appeared to slip on the replay not 'pressure and pull' like the ref claimed

In fact Penalty against Boks LH for collapsing on to knee.

Shades of Anton Oliver days in the lineout.
Tbf that last lineout was more on Holland/just good play from SA.

Throw too low.

Carter is not a test wing can’t tackle crap under the high ball
People wanted to see if he could perform at test level. Can’t complain when the coaches give people what they want

How did we win last week? This is the worst half of all blacks rugby I've seen in my life.

Worst quarters for sure.

Last quarter rewatch to flow, but what is apparent is:
-
Taking off Parker and Sititi lessened our ruck effectiveness and in particular the defence around the ruck disappeared;
-
Taking off Proctor and Carter lessened our attacking effectiveness and backs defensive alignment fell apart;
-
Scooter looked gassed at end, so the No brainer was for FH to replace him, rather than Parker;
-
When we need to reset and gather composure, better to get ball out in oppo half rather than go for their 22: BB and Jordan I’m talking about you;
-
When we are under the pump quit the fancy Dan crap: Vaa’l lineout call at 60, BB kick passes (FFS!!!), RD chip; and
-
Hold the ball in two hands when diving for try line. No guesses for whom I’m talking about.
Half of those the coaches, the others SENIOR players.
KISS and we lose that by 10 max.
It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters in

If talking about Love, he did get a chance to cameo and didn’t cover himself in glory either.
In fairness, that is probably being too harsh on him. When everyone else on the pitch had lost their heads, what is a young man with little international experience supposed to do?
Rassie did make a point post-match that even though his team looked like it was inexperienced on paper, only 2 (I think) of his 23 man squad had less than 10 caps. ABs had 8 players in the 23 with less than 10 caps. The capitulation on the ABs had everything to do with senior leaders not setting the example and stemming the bleeding. They started the rot that spread throughout the entire team. The subs just added to the chaos.

@stodders I meant Clarke.
in fairness, he has been injured. For once, they may not be rushing someone back too quickly.
He should be in the mix for the Bledisloe games. If not, there are some real issues with selection going on.

He played two games for Auckland in the two weeks prior to this match. He's had a lot more recent rugby than Noah Hotham (or Simon Parker prior to his debut the other week).

@stodders not often to see Libbok performing that well. as a Stormer supporter if our three musketeers (Libbok/SMZ/Gazza) get it right its eye candy. Just to fail in the next 10 tests.

When he is on, Manie is your best attacking 10. When he is off…oof!
