All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham
-
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
@Mattasaurus yea we have been poor, and sure architects of our own demise, but I honestly cannto see us being this rubbish again

Tim’s favourite flanker shining in defence there.

Ah well is that our worst defeat to the Boks? Another record for Fozz.

Telea, Nugget and Mo'unga have been OK.
1 thru 8, 12 & 13 have been shite.

A bad performance and a close loss is what we needed pre RWC, not a humiliation like this. Not sure they can recover from this sort of mental scarring.

at least Bok fans wont be moaning about the officials

Penalties and cards destroyed us in the first half. Then, tired, we've made a lot of errors in the second half so haven't been able to get any sort of momentum. But it's that first half they need to look closely at - if that's how it's going to be reffed then we need to figure out how to adjust as soon as possible. You can't beat anyone in the top 6 with that many cards.
-
Its one thing to get a wake up call a week before the RWC, but this is a humiliation.
Don't know how its good for morale or self belief when its tight later on in the tournament.

If France go up early on the score board you'd worry for them.
