no Boks supporters on this thread or are their hands too busy covering their eyes to type?

I'm here. Nothing left to say really.

Ok TJ, let's see you back one up.

Cane missed a tackle and gets subbed....

That'll learn him!

@Higgins said in All Blacks vs Boks:
Have we ever down troued the Boks before? Beating them to nil has a nice ring to it.
A quick search reveals that it has happened at least three times before
1921 00 - 00 @ Athletic Park
1965 13 - 00 @ Carisbrook
1999 28 - 00 @ CarisbrookThey have got us back three times as well
1921 00 - 00 in Wellington
1928 00 - 17 in Durban
1960 00 - 13 in JohannesburgWe are still on track to beat the highest winning margin at home of 33 (40 - 07 in Wellington) and the highest winning margin of 42 (57 - 15 last year in Durban)

Sam Cane has been the best player on the park to me Justin, but I'll admit that Smith has been good.
@gt12 Cane is becoming my fave AB, after the locks.

I miss the B&I Lions. Can't they come back?

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:
NMS looked decidedly slow there.
The intercept was piss poor. Surely an international winger should score with a buffer like that.

@Chris-B. Yep, that Ta$man player is the only other option.
There's a few good loosehead props around (two from Canterbury, one from Taranaki) that aren't the most penalised players in Super Rugby.
He's massively out of his depth.
Bollocks - the next cab off the rank is Tim Perry - another Ta$man player who barely played Super rugby!
Be careful what you wish for!!!
Probably the most penalised front rower in Intl rugby is Wyatt Crockett who if I remember has had to be pulled where Italian prop was boring in.
I think he's the best option right now, but it's his work around the park I don't like. I actually think he has the tools at scrum time to be good enough. I guess the rationale is to work on everything else.
To be fair to him, he finished much better than he started. He's going to get plenty of chances this year anyway, so there's not much we can do except complain - and hopefully ow up if he turns out good

Wyatt's spent his time as the most penalized player in Super rugby, as well.
Don't listen to Tim. He's from Auckland - where they've known fuck all about propping a scrum since Olo Brown retired.
And in fact, fuck all about rugby, since around 2007.

Need to keep our line intact to make up for our poor everything except tryscoring

@Mokey said in All Blacks vs Boks:
Reiko on the other hand looks speedy and slick every time he gets the ball. Great stuff.
Drop NMS and put Fifita on the wing
-
Not sure I agree with Nigel Owens shouting helpful directives to players all the time. Let him go, let him go he says to NZ players as the Bok player takes a quick tap. If NZ infringe, that's their problem, it's not as if the match is a cliffhanger.
