@gt12 at least we are actually contesting the contestables now eh? For so long we were putting up those same short high kicks then barely even chasing them
️Did you notice though, when we were being smothered and pushed back, we were just that little bit less able to contest as well as we did earlier?
That was the point where we should have put the contestable bombs away
The problem being though, we were going nowhere at a rate of knots, even going backwards. They had no idea what else to do. If only we had someone with a raking boot.
BB and JB can kick a long way. We just never utilised them
Jordie had a huge punt down the middle in the first half. Was pleased as punch with that.
There were a few very big punts last night.
I still think the contestable kick is all about unsettling the opposition. We recovered a number last night with some Howlett / Bender like chasing from our outside backs and even Mo’unga on two occasions.

It's a great tactic. Just needs to be used more judiciously

Call me old fashioned but I've got great memories of Foxy's raking wipers kicks into the corners. Why not?

Noticeably quiet
Quiet or a different style of play? Didn't specifically watch him , but he seems to be playing much tighter than last year and driving closer to the ruck.

Yeah, maybe "less noticeable" maybe more apt.

This channel can always be relied on to take Bok losses hard.
TBF it was legit try
And the lines out analysis was spot on
Would much rather watch this analysis than Squidge

It must have been so demoralising for the opposition. Foxy was a machine

Ardie's lack of physicality
Noticeably quiet
I thought Ardie was supporting a lot and buried in rucks or Etzebeth was trying to tear his leg off--all that focus helped SF to shine, perhaps.

"analysis"
I can take these YT warriors seriously when they don't understand simple concepts such as binding. And then having the temerity to say the refs don't know what they're doing.

Great win against a quality side. Really happy about the forwards working as a unit and setting the platform for the win. Read everyone's comments about "those up and unders". Tactics or not, there were some really stupid ones by BB, no one was chasing and it just gave the ball back in an attacking position. A few phases later and the Boks score. Arguably, two of the Bok's tries came from this tactic. I really don't understand it. There is a time for it of course but there is also a time for distance and starting again in opposition territory.

So why aren't they using this tactic more? With the 50: 22 rule there's even more reason to do so.
Not a big fan of the contestable kick@BerniesCorner said in All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2:

Not a big fan of the contestable kickExactly. We need to do more scissors too, they work great against 80s defences. We should also highlight to the ref that the opposition are lifting their lineout jumpers, that's fucking illegal.

I find that SA analytics channel to be on the money more often than not.

Just getting around to this now
The number of times Nesbitt calls any Books backline player with dark skin "Mapimpi" is utterly embarrassing.

To be fair it wasn't just the saffa players. I recall him calling Rieko as Richie at least once
