RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
Credit to SA for the win, but I think we can say we lost that with a lack of composure at crucial times...several losses of our own lineout in thier 22, poor handling, pushing passes and not putting the ball out in that final 10 at every chance with thier struggling lineout.
We could have won it, but didn't.

Rugby is a funny game.
We won the set piece. Had more ball, more carries, they made like 2 and a half the tackles we did. Made linebreaks. And we just couldn't win.

Could have but didn’t. If we’d got ahead they were finished.

Cards aside, I reckon we hit most of our KPIs today.

Papalii will be the captain next year.
Taukei'aho will be hooker.
NZ will start their best players, finally.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on where you think Ethan Blackadder will fit into all of this

Totally, not the ref, not SA, we lost ourselves. Mentally weren't sharp enough, I wonder who Gilbert's replacement is, that could be key going forward

At the time I was wondering if they'd have a look.

I mean, not only was it immense because of the AB jumpers but ffs, you’ve got a blindside flanker throwing in and NZ barely kicked the ball out - muppets

@Dodge think it was 6 mins to go, we try to fucking run it from our 22...wtaf

That, but the throwing was generally ok. It was the read of the line out that was impressive.

It was ok in the second half when NZ didn’t compete (also baffling) but it was short nearly every time

I have no problem with the outcome of either captain's card. Clear difference based on the framework and mitigation.

Can you elaborate further ? How was Canes harsher than Kolisis ? ( i missed part of the latters as I was getting my third helping of bacon and eggs )

@mariner4life Lineout and Scrum were massive and we conceded way fewer penalties.
Awesome Bok defence, the cards, poor goalkicking and the backline being off killed us today.

Cane was upright, with reasonable force, direct contact. No mitigation.
Kolisi had contact through the body, lowered himself a little, and the head contact was almost incidental like a whiplash.

Can’t get over the fact SA won this in spite of the genius coach, lineout nearly cost them because he didn’t pick a hooker, backline he got away with it because they didn’t play any rugby and NZ knocked on in wide channels too many times. Pollard did nothing and kicked badly in the second half because he was knackered. Bomb squad had no impact whatsoever. Jeez I hate Rassie

Funny, because at the time it looked like head on head contact and worse than Cane's....

Abs 5 penalties, boks 10. Plus the 2 cards each, I guess they aren't counted on the penalties
