A really good watch but Scotland should have been smashed

Beauden Barrett has been poor. Again.
What do they see in him still?
Get ruthless with players.

I don’t think there’s an expected smashing for and top 10 team these days. It was at home, it was a big match, away. That’s not how it works anymore

But at the end of the day, this win is good for the mentality of the team. Winning is winning.
I miss the heyday of the Henry-Hansen eras when we had the foot on the throat and never took it off. Those days are long gone. Still, some exciting players coming through…

@MiketheSnow Ricky Swannell and Ruby Tui are good. The others mostly aren't.
Yeah, nah
They all need to drop a few octaves and slow down

Cards have killed us for years.
True but its not reffed consistently.
Canan Moodie did the exact same thing as Sititi in the SA v ARG game that decided the Rugby Championship.
He was already on a yellow, but ref let him off.
These things matter.
It's a joke.

Because, if you watch any of those games, we saw the best rugby players ever. McCaw Read and Kanio would demolish any of the current teams

At 17-0 up I wasnt confident...I couldnt believe the chat of winning by 40 on here.
We go life and death with everyone.
When somebody shows you who they are- believe them.
And this team has repeatedly shown us who they are.

Hell of a game.
Only seen the last few comments of the thread, and looks like I’m mostly going to disagree with what people are saying.
We’re starting to get some fluency in our attack, moving the ball around, finding space.
Making turnovers or getting penalties when you’re hard on defence is like gold, but we were pretty quick to stuff it up most of the time. Can’t afford to be doing that, and made this game soooo much harder on ourselves than it needed to be.
Overall pretty happy.

That was entirely different.
a) it was ruled to have been a legitimate intercept attempt (which is entirely fair if you watch it back) and b) not a linebreak opportunity, so would only have been a penalty at the absolute worst.
Not inconsistent at all.

Yes, but we also had two teams worth of players who would beat most other top teams. SA is the only current squad with that kind of depth. It’s a cultural thing as well as a talent/personnel issue.

Nah we should have smashed them after being up by 17. Pathetic performance in the 2nd half.

@booboo downvote
You'd prefer Sevu?
I'd shift Leicester 11 and Rieko 13
