RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)
-
Short thoughts:
So much precision in the AB play - hardly any mistakes. Handling really impressive
Crotty didn't go off injured
BB at 15 is lethal on counter-attack
AB defence was outstanding. Ritchie has serious wheels
Bridge and Reece or BFA & Reiko. Who'd be an opposition coach?SA 11 & 14 look real class
Kolisi is a good captain - kept his team together when it could have fallen apartLike the way the ref let the game flow.

Thought it was a toss-up between Savea and Lienert-Brown - both in so many key moments on attack and defence

Savea a missed two one on one tackles on defence that lead to big springbok gains. Some good turnovers but not man of the match stuff for me.

@booboo flushing the dunny is from a shit performance, that was not shit, was not even average. It was good, awesome in places, they'll build like last time. Happy with that game, tested, not found wanting.
You won't see a better performance by any team in the opening round, I'd put money on that.
Negative noo noos

Fuck Kearns is a piston wristed gibbons.
I don’t even know what he said but agree completely

He said "whine, whine, whine, everytime I whine on telly another amateur club team folds and someone changes the channel "
Phil Kearns : almost single handedly killing rugby in Australia with his negativity.

Another beauty from kearns,
Garcia repaid Nz for sending off Barrett, by not penalising them tonight

Shitty unconvincing win we need to be a lot better then that to win the WC
Against who? Who else is significantly better than South Africa?

I can see that point of view.
The ABs will take care of the Boks even if slightly below parity providing they can manage a one, maybe two moments of brilliance.
What happens if they can’t manage those at the pointy end where tries are historically rare?

He screwed us again by not giving a yellow card against the Boks for their professional foul too.

Love how Kearns was criticising Beaudie playing fullback pre game.
Then Beaudie proceeds to dominate from fullback.
Post game Kearns gushing over Beaudie.

Interest that most of the first games had second half drop offs. Conditions must be pretty difficult

What’s the humidity like? Also the quality of the ground seems to deteriorate.

Well that was a strange game. From where I was sitting ABs D was either very good or the boks lack real imagination. Probably more the latter. Barrett is an incredible rugby player but a poor FB.
Main difference was your loosies. Live, It does not look like you’re missing a traditional blindside. Take Ardie or Barrett off the field and you probably lose that game.

The Kearns way. If anything he is predictable.

Very fucken happy, keeps our pool victories going and a great confidence injection for the team. Our D was very good bar The enormous hole at the ruck for their try. SA could have scored a few other times but the AB scramble was great.
Very happy with the forward intensity and lots of good hits, players were very energetic getting back in the line. Also first game for awhile with no stupid fucken penalties, pat Moody on the back.
Really looking forward to relaxing for the rest of pool play and watching some good games.

Take Faf off and you probably don’t get any go forward.

Maybe.
Equally, SA might be the second best team at the tournament and we have played well enough to beat them.
