RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)
-
@Chris I thought A Smiths box kicks were much better than Faf, most of ours were contested. apart from one or two we did very well defusing the box kick which is promising going forward.

@Machpants I hope you are right I just want us to get better and smash every fucking team and bring home the WC
Me too
But I'll also be happy with scraping it like 2011
@Machpants my heart can’t handle that shit again

Scott Barrett had a great game.
Yeah he did. Where are all the gimps with Tuipolotou >> Barrett.
There’s a reason Hansen went with Barrett.

A little concerned at the way scrum finished the game..

Patty was also excellent when he came on, put in a number of massive hits which is the point of difference he provides. Both had very good games.
Good to see SB go well, allows us to use Patty as a weapon in the last 30 mins.

Yes I would be very happy with SB and Pat T on bench providing impact come QFinal.

@No-Quarter Exactly right. Love the way Pat stops people in their tracks. He made some big tackles when South Africa were hot on attack.

Very very satisfactory. Gave the home unions a fright with 15 odd minutes video footage of Warriors style rugby against a willing rush defence and come away with 17 "flukey" points.
I've never seen a dominant team, the boks, so shell shocked
It was bizarre seeing the ABs playing like a bullied under 13s team while we unpacked the new powder.
Props tackled well.
Tu'ungafasi played really well. Fronted up to the big fluffybunnies and was good supporting Reece when he irritated some bok forwards.
Pat T hit well too.
Was funny watching nugget be all regal and calm over a ruck and then we'd unleash a back peddling hot potato play, for a while.
You got the sense we were creating broken play as much as possible, especially with the contested box kicks.
Really good and impressive win - under the first game circumstances - against an expectation laden and fired up Bokke.
We played it different and clever
Ugly look replacing the skipper ( who's not a hooker) with 30 to go and a shot at the win. Hope he was injured.
Mostly our defence is what I'll watch in the replay.
Yayy. Great start

That first 15 mins was pretty shite, but once they settled, they looked good. I do like BB at fullback and a bit of space to wind up. Hope Cane is ok, he looked VERY pissed when he ripped off his tape. Bit concerned with the first up tackles, and how our scrum looked near the end, but other than that a good first outing against quality opposition. S Barrett had a great game.

@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@Chris said in RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B):

At this stage I would have ALB/Crotty midfield start again vs Boks. Goodhue will really have to show something special to break into the match day 23.

As probably will BFA & Reiko. Happy being in that position.

@Mokey commentators said cane passed test. ABs coaches normally very cautious, so they just kept him off, and he wants to be on, I guess
Also hats off to Coles for not reaching to ask the off the ball and Jersey pulling he was getting. Targeted but didn't react

See you all at FT to discuss a glorious victory.
Oh come on, put your balls on the line and make regrettable posts during the game while the emotions are running high!

Also how fit is Titsoff, that man got through some minutes.
He's a ginger, so not technically human
