All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2
-
Well ...
... a little too closeness for too long there.
Generally happy with that.
Bomb squad, Bokke 1st XV, travel, errors, arm wrestle, random Frog...
35-20.
What's not to like?

I'm going full Tim today.

Think it’s time BB hung up the boots. He puts his side under pressure unnecessarily time and again with overly shallow kicks. His retention might have made sense when there were no alternatives. But with Jordan, DMac and Stevenson as alternatives at fullback his continued selection makes zero sense to me.

I suspect there won’t be much between France, Ireland, NZ and the Boks in World Cup.
Except a QF exit

Stunning and original insight !
That's why I come to the Fern.@Frank said in All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2: !

Please use the complementary tissues.

I would like to see Jacobson get a run at 8 or perhaps on the bench for Paps

I'd like us to be able to play a little crusaders ball when required; rumble up the middle, kick deep for touch and make opposition teams who feed off mistakes try to beat us from their own half

Chiefs had a very good game plan which would be handy in test footy. Dmac and Stevenson almost exclusively played for territory and were patient in the opposition making a mistake or giving a penalty. Dmac kicked over twice the penalties as any other team.

Referee was excellent, I thought.
Very good game to watch by both teams.
First 20 minutes were amazing, best AB 20 mins I've seen for quite a while.
Second 20 was evens, ABs still playing alright but Boks improved, just could not finish.
Third quarter was, sadly, what we now expect from Foster's ABs , the big slump, which coincided with the Boks really getting into their groove.
What was a bit unexpected was the turnaround at 70mins. Last Bok try was so unnecessary, though. Exciting watch.. -

@His-Bobness I think BB might not make the RWC squad.

Are we on the Foster bandwagon now?
Maybe the Foster band-aid plasters wagon.
