All Blacks vs Boks

[Higgins]

@nzzp You are right - that puts us ahead by one in the numbers of down trou's administered. Hopefully that will increase to two in about 13 minutes time

another thrashing dished out by the home team in Albany

And more than 10 people watching too!

We thrash them away as well

[nostrildamus]

@PN maybe but I'd pay to see Creevy vs Hooper.

[Tim]

@Virgil Hell yes my dude

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Boks:

@Pot-Hale Well congratulations on preferring to be pedantic rather than watching a fast game of rugby.

Thank you. One of the elements of a fast paced game is speed of thought and movement to catch the opposition unawares. I don't need the ref flagging this to the opposition to make sure they don't infringe. But hey that's just me. :).

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil just looking after our Blues brothers

[Gunner]

He's fucked that up.

3 Africans off their feet at that ruck.

@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.

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

Now that just sounds sour. Unnecessary.

Very noticeable that we lack penetration or a straight runner in midfield now that SBW is off. He is essential for our backline to function effectively.

[gt12]

Well, I'd not have SBW in my team, but our attack has looked flat since he went off and took away the midfield bail-out straight running option. Would have hoped for Crotty to take over that role.

Only other player that can fill the role is Laumape, but he's still very raw at this level.

@Pot-Hale The BIL was an awesome tour, I just don't like their kiwi coach!

[gt12]

@Tim

Ha ha. Snap.

[PN]

At this rate, the B&I Lions tour should be annualized in order for a competitive match involving the All Blacks

And that's funny.

50 coming up

It is sour, they were several grades down from Owens.

Unnecessary is an Irishman continually labouring the point about the referee in a Boks vs ABs game.

Watching Ardie "add impact" there is only one thing wrong with Sam Cane's game. His (apparent according to the Zoo) inability to play 80 minutes like Read, Whitelock, BBBR do, and like McCaw did.
