Springboks v All Blacks 2

[Yeetyaah]

@Steve don't care, he's a chicken brain

[MiketheSnow]

This is NZ’s to lose

Got to be smart

Well after the last month and a half of how we have played, was a very good half.

Still a few too many errors but the intent is a damn sight better.

[nostrildamus]

15-10 ahead at hakftime is way better than I expected. We still have major midfield issues.

[Damo]

Much happier at half time this week.

Easy to get stuck into DH and Clarke for that try but they have both provided some direction on attack that we missed completely last week.

Don't think we will hold on but perhaps things are moving in the right direction.

[booboo]

Yeah. Could have done without that last 3.

[Frank]

Jason Ryan making a difference.

[sparky]

Much better from the forwards. Midfield still useless.

I think so too.

[voodoo]

I feel dirty but Frizell has been pretty good...into everything at least.

I'm off for a shower now

[BerniesCorner]

So ff****g proud. Best performance in 3 years.
Forwards awesome. Samisoni, De Groot, Savea fantastic
Proud.

[MiketheSnow]

SA 10-15 NZ
Halftime

NZ’s match to lose
Got to be smarter in their play
And the timing of substitutions will be key

[BerniesCorner]

This is Ryan.

This is coaching 100%

[ACT Crusader]

Tight 5 have been very good. Lomax was solid but looked too be walking a bit late in the half. De Groot and Sami and the locks were into it for the full 40.

Frizell hasn’t been too bad and was quite abrasive in his play which was good to see, but I think we can bring on Akira to finish the game.

[booboo]

Would be keen to know the territory and possession stats.

Gut feel is we're behind on both, but that the score flatters Bokke.

BTW:
I AM GROOT.

Rieko is an 11. End of.

Havili is a great footballer but isn't quick enough or physical enough for test footy against the big teams for me.

[voodoo]

Never seen Ellis Park break up like this

[MiketheSnow]

Need to get behind SA again

Make them backtrack

That’s when they make mistakes, give away penalties, and possibly cards

They just can’t help themselves

Dirty fluffybunny dna

[antipodean]

That PSdT intercept off RM is unforgiveable.

[Duluth]

Clean outs front the tight five has been better. I wonder if Ryan has simplified their role, it’s most about being decisive than technique. Things are easier for everyone else when that works

Ethan has had some good moments

That backline looks like it’s set up deeper this week?
