@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.

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)

1960 00 - 13 in Johannesburgdidn't we win 19-0 in Cape Town sometime?
yep - google tells me 2008 in Cape Town, 16 august. McCaw was immense in that game.

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.

@Pot-Hale He does the same for both sides and has kept the game flowing at top pace. Who gives a shit if he tells players to take their hands off before a penalty could be awarded.

I do.

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:
Why the fuck did Barrett kick that?
I think we'll see that as a turning point in this game.

Well done Ofa!
@African-Monkey Franks won't be happy. He broke the code.

It's like you have never watched a game where the ref does that...

Infinitely better for the game than those French refs in June.

The Boks just drew with the Wallabies. Oz-Argentina game could be interesting later today.
