Squidge's take on what happened in I and what could happen in II

Squidge's take on what happened in I and what could happen in II
Good analysis.
What is interesting is that Boks weren’t astute enough to alter their game plan, say, 15 into H2.
Lions kicked off to Boks’s right to limit De Klerk returns, but Boks kept kicking off to Lions’s left. And when they needed to get some territory didn’t kick from 10 to the corner.Lions messaging at halftime was extraordinary.
Bok team naming presser suggests that number of players weren’t match fit, Pollard being one. And acknowledged tactical inertia.
As a neutral, I want a Bok win this week to set things up for winner takes all third.

@mikethesnow some Comments from Twitter -
"I heard Rassie has contacted Peter Jackson about doing a 6 hour trilogy on Munsters loss to Scarlets in Pro12 final"
"My favourite bit is when he says "we don't want to nit pick and show every mistake they made" whilst providing an hour long video of nit picking"
"My favourite part of the video was when he kept replaying Daly holding Mapimpi back (fair).But the same replay kept showing Lukhanyo Am absolutely smashing Henshaw with no arms to knock the ball loose in the first place. No mention of it."
"Gatland is living in a 50 story skyscraper inside Rassie's head"
"I dont know, first the burner account now the hour long video. Kinda turning into the trump of rugby" -
Rassie took all the attention away from the squad and players.
The playing surface at CT Stadium is more a worry.
Bulls and WP play a CC match tonight at Newlands, maybe they can more the 3rd test to the Newlands faithful holy ground.

Are you trying to justify his actions?

I think he's just pointing out that it is probably (at least partially) effective. Not the same as defending it.

Us by 7-10

RSA 3-3 BIL
Very whistle heavy
-
Bit of a slug-fest at the moment - not great to watch.
Boks making mistakes/giving away penalties and unable to build any momentum.

Wasn't clear to me. Strange to be holding on when others have possession!
Great to hear Nigel Owens now joining in the criticise refs from the commentary box club. Sure, many of the refs aren't at the standard we would like, but it doesn't fucking help having this constant narrative drilled into people everywhere they turn. Losing a lot of respect for him here.

It’s completely unhelpful - the idea is to clearly provide an objective view and insight on the refereeing but the truth is he’s giving his subjective view
