The saffas argument they couldn’t get match fit looking a little silly...this the first game this year for most of these argies

Looks like many of them used lockdown wisely, they were bloody fit, strong and focused.

Missed the game. Thought Kick Off was about now.
Just seen the score. WTF?!
Yeah, had the same thing happen to me. It was 0845 on the BBC website.
Only caught the last 35 minutes. Wish I bloody hadn't.

You're one of the lucky ones - only having to see that little of the game

Shows you how much of rugby can just boil down to fitness, tackling and safe decisions

We had 4 years of revolving doors at 12/13 in the hope of finding a settled combination and it really didn't go that well.
Foster seems to have stuck with ALB/JG at 13/12 as his top pairing for a few tests now and I think it should stay that way. It's one thing he's actually done right IMHO.

@Victor-Meldrew Just the wrong way around
-
12 has got to be the biggest hole in the AB squad. Decent players, who are more 13s, but no one with good power running and distribution.

@Mokey How bad? Twickenham 99 bad? Johannesburg 04 bad? Lancaster Park 94 bad?
2020 bad.

Are Ian Foster and Covid the same thing? Cause Covid didn't exist before Foster was the coach of the All Blacks

Same. Look to the players around them making poor decisions and not executing.

The Argies are generally a likeable team. I used to like them even during the Porta years when he was the only back above 9 allowed to join in..

They got a bit bothersome with lasers and Latin football behaviour but absolutely fair dues to this Ledesmo team. Really smart and obvious tactics turned on and off : niggle early on, target Coles and then, Frizell. Plead with the "scared to offend" ref for as long as you can. Milk a charge down attempt. Then in the premiership quarter, mind your p's and q's to the letter and stay onside, roll away, stay way back last feet - I found myself wondering if my team possessed such discipline, and why not? Finally infringe the fuck just to use up the clock.
And never miss a tackle
Superb strategy and execution and A knock out win to Ledesmo over Foster.
I'm still wondering if my team is capable of such routine discipline.

Seriously, was this the worst AB performance ever?
Been watching for more decades that I care to mention, but yeah.
Imagine the 2nd half of the '99 semi but for the full game.

Can’t see us being semi finalists in 2023 if we carry on like this
We might be lucky to make it out of the pool stage...

Especially if we get Ireland and Argentina.
