RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

[mariner4life]

Positives
Nothing has gone right and we are down 6 points
Defensive lineout

Negatives
Everything else pretty much

Losing in contact, losing the kicking game, losing the whistle.

Their sub hooker has the wobbles , have to try and take advantage

But out typical dumb kicking tactics don't have us kicking out

[Billy Tell]

Not that I’ve calmed down. We are generally the only team trying to play rugby. We now have their line out under pressure. We must get rid of all poor discipline 2nd half. We need to play in their half. Do we sacrifice frizzell to bring on paps?

@nostrildamus wasnt that similar to the 'friendly' at Twickers?

then we should win as we apparently have all the learnings

[nostrildamus]

is there such a thing as glancing head contact? I thought there was only black and white-head contact or not?

[Stag]

@Tim unfortunately it wasn’t. Yellow was bollocks but that red was justified. Boks should have had at least one yellow as well.

Correct

[Dodge]

South Africa playing their usual knock out rugby, play in the other teams end, huge pressure on and around the breakdown, great line speed, great kick chase, wait for a mistake.

[No Quarter]

Given the way that this is being reffed a Bok red not out of the question.

Yeah we really just need the cards to keep flowing at this point. Hopefully it ends 13 vs 12 or something and Rieko and Jordan are running rings around them.

[sparky]

Cane was upright. He made connection with the head. The RC was the right decision given the directives, I’m afraid.

[Tim]

Get Papalii and Taukeiaho on the field immediately. We have no go forward.

yes as we need more speed to cover Cane, risky but we have to risk.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim especially as Taylor has been average so far.

[Machpants]

Izzie is almost crying

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Taylor has been dog shit. This team was lucky to get to the final.

Correct

hard to diagree but the Bok did dip and swerve back into Cane a tad

[mariner4life]

South Africa are defending us well out wide, but we're getting huge gains in close. Attack close to the ruck, suck them in

We can't squeeze this game, we need to open it up.
Settle Taylor down and get our lineout sorted and we can score enough points to win this

[LABCAT]

Dagg super grumpy.

[Billy Tell]

We can really target their Lineout as their spare hooker is already on.

Replay of Frizell's incident, his head clashed with a Kitzhoff, also incidental. Wasn't even looking at Bongo. Fucken bullshit
