Another beauty from kearns,
Garcia repaid Nz for sending off Barrett, by not penalising them tonight
Love how Kearns was criticising Beaudie playing fullback pre game.
Then Beaudie proceeds to dominate from fullback.
Post game Kearns gushing over Beaudie.

The Kearns way. If anything he is predictable.

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?

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.

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.

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.

I’ll gladly take that ,
It’s not finals yet , just needed to get the win , achieved it
On target so far

No we don’t. All we need to do is win the game. Who really cares how.
@ACT-Crusader of course we have to be better than that or we get to win shit that is not a good enough performance to win a WC final
If that’s as good as we get we are fucked -
Also should say Mo’unga was very solid at 10. Very pleased for him, that was a big test with a lot of pressure and he stood up. Will only improve as the cup goes on.

@Godder if you think that display is good enough you have low expectations the Boks are one dimensional

And what other team isn't? Ireland, Wales, England, Oz. They all have a very set game plan, one dimensional is the norm. So that's all we need to do, great one dimensional teams who don't have the same skills to ABs level. But they can stifle us, and the boks failed at that. We took a bit to get going but no nervousness after the first quarter

Hopefully a good source of powder in Japan, plenty of time to add more before the Qfinal.

@Machpants I never thought the Boks would win the WC so yeah they are fucked
Don’t underestimate what the NH teams will bring
Our scrum with the reserve props was poor we missed too many first up tackles
We kicked too much ball away
All things that may cost us unless we get better in those areas -

All things that may cost us unless we get better in those areas@Chris yes one way I agree, we'll have to get better. But we will. I'd put money this is the best performance of the first round., Tier 1 vs tier 1. And our next 3 games will be average, as the coaches straightjacket the team to test them. And we'll get to the final, not saying well win it, but we're the best team by a good margin

@Machpants I hope you are right I just want us to get better and smash every fucking team and bring home the WC
