Past AB coaches jettisoned Laumape and Moala quicker than this.
Maybe my bad memory but didn't also Moala have a bad run with injuries?

Yeah and a bit of off field silliness didn’t help either

I wasn't that bothered by the intercept, that shit happens. The huge problem was we appeared to change our gameplan as a result and started kicking it a lot more, which led to the 2nd half disaster. Complete lack of leadership when a simple intercept makes you shelve a gameplan that was actually finding space.

People whinge about Rieko but I don't ever remember him throwing an intercept. Proctor is in there for his distribution game.
Proctor has zero try assists this season.
On another note Kirifi has won a single turnover.

Gotta throw a pass for it to be intercepted mate.

Goes back to gameplan. Our backline is rarely getting the opportunity to showcase their ball playing ability. We ran the ball for about the first 15 minutes of the test on Saturday and we were looking dangerous, then we reverted back to kicking the ball away and surprise surprise, we looked like shit again.
There was a notable example in the second half when we had a three man overlap running out of our own 22 and Beaudy decided to kick it. This is exactly what's hampering us atm, and I feel for both Proctor and Ioane who probably haven't been allowed to show what they are capable of because they just aren't getting enough chances to do so.

Maybe its better to throw no pass instead of an intercept pass that leads to a try?

Thats BB. He's incapable of focusing on a game plan for 80 minutes.

Worth noting that the way the backline is setup the 13 doesn't make many passes
If the ball gets to the wing it's Jordie passing out the back to someone else who then passes to the wing. The centre plays flat so is the decoy if it's going wide.
If it does get to the centre, the vast majority of the time its to take it to the line
In this setup the centre often passes less than the wings

And that's the issue when picking Kirifi. If he doesn't win turnover ball which is a lot harder to achieve at international level, then what is he there for? It's all he has to his game. I didn't mind him getting a go as reward for what he has done domestically, but after 6 tests and at 28 years old, what more is he gonna show us?

@African-Monkey would he be there if Jacobsen was fit? I don’t think so.

Whether or not he's in the 23 when Jacobson returns he takes up a spot that could go to someone else in the wider squad.
Meanwhile more tests tick over without Lakai getting a look and Lio Willie has been discarded from the squad.

They have had a look at 4 new loosie options this year...
CLW, Vaai, Kirifi and Parker...

Yep, I've been watching closely and Proctor has mostly been a dummy runner on attack and a man used as a first clean option when the likes of Jordie takes it into contact.
Can you get those stats? It would be also interesting to see how many times Proctor passed for the Canes compared to the ABs. Just totally different gameplans which isn't helping him progress and get comfortable in one of the hardest positions within the team.

@Duluth said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
Here's the stats for what I was talking about above
What I get from those stats is tight forwards should not be passing that much in a game.
They should be hitting rucks, hitting mauls, with some carries.
The out the back stuff is horse shit. Its the same pattern the Crusaders played last year to their detriment. All of the strike runners end up running diagonally across the field and no one is running hard and straight onto the ball.

Jacobson was probably the Chiefs best player this year but if he's not fit he shouldn't be in the squad.

I said when people were clamouring for a "distributing centre" to replace Rieko that the vast majority of the problem was the way the attack was structured. I was often told I didn't know what I was talking about and Rieko was a winge in the wrong position who couldn't pass.
Their tune has fucking changed now.

Yep - congrats your SR form got you the jersey you've coveted, but you're not Test material.

seemed to work nicely in the first half. I thought it looked good
