All Blacks v Springboks
-
So...BB's goalkicking...the Achilles heel of our team...and no confidence to set for a gimme DG.
Well done SA, it's nice for them, and it keeps us honest.
Thought Goodhue was pure excellence off the bench.

Congrats Springboks. Better team on the night.

How many kicks did Barrett miss?
We scored 6 tries.. 6x5 is 30.. Since we got 34 points, it suggests he converted 2, and missed 4.
Some of those misses were sitters tbh -

2 from damn near in front and at least another 2 on or inside the 15m line. Just not good enough. I’ve always been of the belief you can’t blame a kicker for a loss, but tonight that theory has been blown apart.

Next game's line-up is going to be interesting. If the RWC had been in the bag, they would probably have started a lot of newbies again, but now the situation is completely different.

Yeah, good point.
That was nz top line up. No rotation, here. -
Similar to the Ireland test. Some really poor play by us capitalised on by them, and despite us finishing the stronger team we just couldn't run them down.
The blueprint for beating us is make sure BBBR is not playing, take all your bloody chances, and then defend like your mother's life depends on it.
Superb from SA.

Outstanding watch. Shame about the result but the boks deserved that. Very excited about the return match now.

Yeah that should be a cracker .

Boks deserved winners. Sensational.
Mounga would have slotted the droppie. But no...you must have DMac's 'impact' on the bench.

Even better - he could have kicked the goals from the start so that it wouldn't have been that close...
BBarrett can score his four tries from fullback...

It'd be a bit weird if we'd already won the RWC a year out

Meh.... they will learn a lesson there. We were way below par. I am not remotely concerned.
Not actually that impressed with SA. -

Come on mate, we needed a DG because BB had a total and utter mare from the tee. Nothing to do with DMac.
