Took 39min to score vs a team that's probably been drinking all week smh
Given the number of South Africans in the team, and facing a NZ side, I doubt they’ve been drinking.
Also, there are quite a few Bok hopefuls looking to push their claims to get into the full Bok squad.

How the fuck can you call it back after the conversion? Fuck rugby is trying to kill itself. This is a babas game FFS.
Tend to agree, I can't see this sport ever being anything but niche, very tough entry point if you didn't already grow up watching it

Whether it was a try or not, CT is a moron for that grounding
I guess it’ll be part of the learnings

Looking at these blokes, I’m not sure they have the mental capacity to learn any extra information

As I asked earlier, is the the best of what NZ have to offer below the All Blacks?

Roe is a genius. Best player on the park.
Was a bit of a handbrake for 37 minutes! A couple hospital passes in there for good keeping too!

You mean he has been learning a LESSON!

Shalfoon would've been worth a place at lock? Darry would've been handy but got promoted due to Tuipulotu's injury.
Boshier is clearly not anywhere near this level. There are so many better players in NZ.
Riccitelli and Moananu are better hookers, but are both leaving NZ.
CLW is better than Flanders. Sotutu is injured.
Numia has been out of form this year. Fusitua is better.
Dyer doesn't seem to be up to this level.
