Watched the game again , that helter skelter looking start from us ,
Although it looked messy, is there a definitive ploy to move the game away from structure where most of our rivals are more comfortable, and deliberately make it more chaotic to take them out of their comfort zones.
Mr Dry Powder says hi.

@chimoaus I thought world rugby had said they would be onto players getting in a strong position over the ball but not actually trying to win it.
I saw plenty of shit Garces missed that would have helped us, so I expect he missed a ton the other way too, which SA fans and those with the anti-AB-chip will only see....
All in all, that was as you would expect between these 2 sides, some nerves, some brutal defence, some messy stuff but largely quality.
@taniwharugby bang on. French refs are like the weather and the bounce of the ball: if you lose cause they didn’t go your way, you weren’t good enough.
-
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.

Next step, no ref at all.
Pretty much what you get with Garces, with some random interruptions.

The try to the bok 7 was fairly inevitable, we were committing one player to the ruck and then none for two in a row and then he scored.

Yeah, basically Scott Barrett moved exactly from that spot to a position outside Smith just before PSDT picked up the ball.

@chimoaus said in RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B):
Just read elsewhere the officials missed the clear knock on by Kolbe when he throws ball forward before going into touch, BB runs it out from goal line and subsequent play we pass it to the SA player in our backline. Should have been our advantage and back for knock on.
No way. Advantage was well and truly over by the time of the intercept.
But surely the "intercept" was made by a guy who was still running back from an offside position from the previous ruck? In fact most of the SA defence was offside ....
That's a different issue.
I wasn't sure. Not do clear. He would be put onside once a ball carrier runs 5m with the ball in hand.

@ACT-Crusader said in RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B):
Now that was the biggest joke of a penalty.
Bok lifters drop player and ABs penalised.
This. Fuck Garces.
Hah!! My auto correct wants to replace the Refs surname with "Faeces". B)

@Damo I wondered if the ALB tackle/ruck redefines an offside line making the interceptor a lazy runner, as he was coming back from the kolbe knock on.
Dunno, but it looked wrong

However a player can be put onside after a ruck by retreating to the line of the ruck, OR by a ball carrier running 5m with the ball. I didn't see it close enough to definitely say neither of those things happened.

First time I think I’ve seen our scrum dominate the boks. Massive effort.
Can't say I agree. Felt the Boks were on top in most scrums and Moody was fairly lucky not to get penalised in the first two scrums. Not convinced about Angus. Ofa is a better tighthead than a loosehead so they would have been better off selecting him as the reserve tighthead imo and picking big Karl as the reserve loosehead.

Agreed. Our scrum looked shaky all game and we were lucky to win a couple of pks for it. Needs to improve.

Is this true?
That used to be the case back in the day eg Mike Brewer pinning Gav Hastings Auckland 1990, 10m circle etc.I thought that changed with 1992 law changes.
Has something changed again,

Other than under Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when:
An onside team-mate of that player moves past the offside player and is within or has re-entered the playing area.
An opponent of that player:
Carries the ball five metres; orPasses the ball; or
Kicks the ball; or
Intentionally touches the ball without gaining possession of it.

I enjoy seeing clowns like that thrashwanking about refs favouring us .
The comments on the BBC website are a real hoot. Still banging on about Umaga & O'Cudda Doided.
But the winner has to be the clown who tells us the "New Zealand Rugby Team did a long Harka to intimidate Garces".
Really? Brilliant!

Yep. Since deleted by the BBC mods. Some of the comments are so outer space conspiracy theory, I'm thinking they're some form of on-line performance art.

He missed a few things but was generally consistent and didn't over-do the TMO crap. Thought he was OK.

They appear as landed gentlemen enjoying a distracted Saturday afternoon cruise around the country estate in their Jaguar limousine, inspired by the pattern set by the Crusaders a decade or so ago; taking the purring prize up to top speed for a couple of sparkling five pointers just before pulling in for tea and scones, and coming out shortly after to put on some exhibition rugby for the second half.
I enjoy the comparison I can draw with Gary Whetton's All Blacks, who used burst onto the field as if in their growling GTHO Phase 3, cranking it out to 7,000 revs and leaving it there, monstering the opposition, being profligate with the powder and showing no mercy right from the jump.
I do wonder at times what Sir Steve puts before them as a challenge - with an 87% success rate their greatest threat is from within. It would be so easy to put together a couple of shockers and find themselves sliding backwards towards the other lot at 65 to 70%. They would surely struggle with the psychological impact of entering such foreign territory.
Ardie Savea impressed me again last night, a ton of energy and on the ball all the while, playing as if his life depends on it.
I'm still getting used to how they have redesigned the positions around Ardie and Sam Cane; and quite differently to the role of the bigger Jerome, Vito and Liam Messam.
