      Zero out of ten performance. Got to question the on-field leadership.

      And the forward prep for this game.

      Bring back Plums?

      Nah. But there's clearly more work for Ryan to do.

            Watching the NPC last night where the ref did his best stay out of the game, versus this, its a different game.

            People keep saying this - so please tell us which calls he shouldn't have made today?

            I think you're being deliberately obtuse.

            Rugby is a sport where you can find a penalty at every ruck. Refs can do this, and you can then ask the question 'which call shouldn't have been made today'? What I want to see from refs is consistency, particularly around materiality. What shits supporters is the appearance of different standards during the game, or between teams.

            3 penalties then a card 35 m out suggests a tightly whistled game; ignoring ball killing by SA late in the half will then have people asking whether that's consistent.

            There is a lot of subjectivity, and there's a lot of pearl clutching on here, but the quality of the refereeing and the law interpretations aren't great. It's very hard to ref this game well, and the best refs generally let non-material things flow. As someone said, it's refs looking like they don't want attention, vs being at the centre of it.

            This ref feels like a penalty for every ruck, and a card for most players. It's technically 'not wrong' but you'd struggle to say it's good. I've been frustrated with the framework and application of laws for a while, particularly around the inconsistencies from week to week.

            Anyhoo, good physical but limited work from the Bokke. Well played, we've been defending really well, and playing some stupid stupid footy.

            Thank you for writing this.

            To cheer on this ref performance is completely disingenuous.

                            NZ have been shite, but they are chasing the game now. The ref was not as "busy" when black had the ball as he was when green had the ball. That's all people are saying.

                            Be pedantic. But be pedantic for both sides.

                                  I can’t remember another All Blacks game where you would throw in the towel if you could with 15 to go.

                                      Holy shit guys.... we have played with 14men for all but the first 10mins ....

                                      We have made numerous errors , exits in particular have been costly and our ball security has been appallingly bad plus some of our options with the ball in hand have been pretty average - that's on the players.

                                      We have never really got ourselves in to the game .. that's the concerning thing .. but I still believe this is exactly what we needed pre RWC (injuries and cards aside) a big old wake up call.

                                      Hard to single out a solid AB performer today

                                        Watching the NPC last night where the ref did his best stay out of the game, versus this, its a different game.

                                        People keep saying this - so please tell us which calls he shouldn't have made today?

                                        I think you're being deliberately obtuse.

                                        Rugby is a sport where you can find a penalty at every ruck. Refs can do this, and you can then ask the question 'which call shouldn't have been made today'? What I want to see from refs is consistency, particularly around materiality. What shits supporters is the appearance of different standards during the game, or between teams.

                                        3 penalties then a card 35 m out suggests a tightly whistled game; ignoring ball killing by SA late in the half will then have people asking whether that's consistent.

                                        There is a lot of subjectivity, and there's a lot of pearl clutching on here, but the quality of the refereeing and the law interpretations aren't great. It's very hard to ref this game well, and the best refs generally let non-material things flow. As someone said, it's refs looking like they don't want attention, vs being at the centre of it.

                                        This ref feels like a penalty for every ruck, and a card for most players. It's technically 'not wrong' but you'd struggle to say it's good. I've been frustrated with the framework and application of laws for a while, particularly around the inconsistencies from week to week.

                                        Anyhoo, good physical but limited work from the Bokke. Well played, we've been defending really well, and playing some stupid stupid footy.

                                        Thank you for writing this.

                                        To cheer on this ref performance is completely disingenuous.

                                        and to bitch and moan cos our team is losing and blaming the refs "style" is >>>>>????

                                        NZ have been shite, but they are chasing the game now. The ref was not as "busy" when black had the ball as he was when green had the ball. That's all people are saying.

                                        Be pedantic. But be pedantic for both sides.
