Apparently we kicked 28 contestables and got the ball back 2 times.
What a sickening stat. I remember one bomb, Jordan was bearing down on the saffa receiver, and he just stopped running and let him catch it. So many other kicks where we just don't chase, or the kick is poorly directed and doesn't allow a chase

Jordan realised there was no glory in it for him, so opted out. Doesn't matter if it's good for the team or not.

Boks kicked 34 times to get the ball back 6

You'd wonder why teams do it so much with that rate of return.

No one seems to know when the contestable kick is coming, so we don't contest. The only one I remember us winning was won by Clarke

Not every kick is contestable

The stat provided was contestable kicks.

Great, classy answer

From this clip all TJ appears to say to the ref is "whats that"....
No different really from jackalers shouting "Sir Sir Sir" "no release" calling for a penalty.
Dont mind him pinging it, but expect to see it every time.
That was a minimum 3 points for us that ended up a pen the other way.

@Jet He called it a sledge so I presume the ref was struggling with TJ's accent and thought that he was calling one of the Springboks a twat.

I find it extremely hard to believe Perenara insulted him. I guess we should've known from that point.

He either did which wasn’t picked up on Mix or Brace misheard him.
I find it hard to believe as well

Dollars to donuts it was a mishearing and he couldn't back down once he'd set his stall.

Watching now because I got home a bit munted after the John I Dent final.
Ethan "both sides of the ball" Blackadder couldn't pass to an umarked winger five metres out.
DMac decides to hand back possession from inside our 22 with a useless chip kick to nobody.
Blind ref penalises Ardie one metre from our line for "no clear release" when there's a clear as fuck release which should've been a penalty for holding on.
Blind Irish TMO can't see Mbonambe clearly lose possession over the line.
Cross kick to Clarke and a turnover penalty because South Africans are allowed to place their hands on the ground first.
Cane puts a hard shoulder on South African Black Jesus who coughs up the ball in contact.
Beautiful run by Rieko down the blindside from a scrum, draw and pass to put Jordan into space. Ethan too slow to get there to clean out.
Outstanding attack from turnover ball. DMac and then Lomax dummy to beat rushing defenders and put Clarke in.
Blind clown awards South Africa a scrum penalty despite the tighthead clearly on his knees.
Turnover because "both sides of the ball" can't get there in time to clean out the defender. Has there been a slower loose forward?
And that's the first half. Score should be 3 - 12
Agree with a lot of what you say - but your Blackadder hatred does run deep.....
Ethan was one of my top 3 players today (as have a # of other Ferners going by the MOTM thread)..... cos as you say -- the work on both sides of the ball...

In answer to your slower loose fwds - not trolling... but Frizzel and Ioane were not speed merchants either.... and sure as shit didn't put the consistent work in that Blackadder is showing so far...
Akira has tremendous [EDIT] raw speed. Probably blunted by bulking up.
@pakman I think if he gets in the wider channels you will find he still has some of that pace. I’m guessing he has been forced into doing the tight stuff as that work rate has been his Achilles heel.

Sad in a way.
