All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2

[ACT Crusader]

Ardie’s defensive work has been good. I counted at least 3 neck rolls on him and that’s because he has been very busy and disrupting quick ball.

Excellent defense but it should t have been needed. I hope Schmidt gives Beauden a good kick in the nuts for that kick.

Just coz those up and unders deep in our 22 work early doesn't mean we should fall in love with them for the whole game

[booboo]

Fuck me that first 20. Some of the best rugby I've ever seen.

Second 20 it's turned into the match we thought it would be.

We making a few too many errors to keep then in it.

That head high aside Telea a lot better than Clarke on the left

Not hard. Still got the inevitable drop off with the bench. Game ain't over yet

[chimoaus]

Happy to be 17 up but we need to score first after half time.

[Damo]

Great first 30 minutes. Fell away a bit in the end of the half but showed good tenacity to avoid a score.

[Frank]

Let's keep Vaai off until the 79th minute

Clarke should have dropped down the pecking order

And ginger.

Frizell huge in the first 20. SA good in the second quarter. ABs held them out though. Should be a big 2nd half!

@nostrildamus enjoying seeing one of these teams live up to the standard of the fixture.

I understand using them judiciously but with 2 left in the half and a lead of about 17 points, some fucking territory would have been the right idea. That we need to discuss it is the problem.

[Frank]

Looking forward to big T Williams coming on. DeGroot will certainly be replaced at some point. Less enthused about Laulala.

Whilst we got the neck roll call, we were a little lucky when Ioane rushed out on Eben and didn’t land the tackle.

If B. Barrett can just kick deep! He’s shown tonight that it’s been effective when he has.

[Steven Harris]

@canefan very poor from Telea, he should not have come so far off his wing,,interestingly he’s not making the metres he does in Super Rugby

[taniwharugby]

@booboo that opening quarter was amazing, easily best 20 in last 5 or so years

The Boks played as well as we let them. The first 20 minutes was almost perfect rugby union. They are coming back and the first 10 minutes of the second half will be huge

The way shits going, he'll steal a lineout and run through 5 for a try from 25 out.

Their usage of Jordie was excellent early too, but they shelved the long kicking game a bit later in the half.
