Two good tries and a whole lot of very average rugby.
Loving the attitude and testicular fortitude from the boys.
But McCaws crop would be 25 ahead at this stage.
We are still a sloppy rabble at heart.
Parker our best on show so far.
A win will paper over the cracks (if we can be so lucky)

NZ need to tighten up
SA are one pass away from opening up the backline defence
They'd have to stop kicking it away first.
-
Who would you replace/move in the second half?

They weren’t world beaters all the time. They even played some ordinary footy at times.

The kick is the springboard
And having to grubber because the ABs not getting pinged for offside

Seems to me we are a bit light on backline versatility and speed with Narawa off. Drowning in 15s in the 23, but not many fast / versatile wings. Having a specialist 12 on the bench might be a little restrictive.

Will won’t be getting Air Jordan nicknames any time soon.

NZ playing the conditions. Some of his delivery been a bit shit, but reckon the ginger has done okay under a lot of pressure.
Problem is that he's the one creating the pressure half the time with his fuckaboutery.

Vaa'i back to lock and best player on field.
SA had
Two dumb penalties but other than he’s been very active.
-
There seems to be up and down commentary on Scott Barrett. How is he looking overall against the contenders?
-
Great planned move for WJ’s try but that throw definitely drifted forward at the end
SA went up to contest so shouldn’t that have been called back and throw to SA?

For once I'm confident in our bench forwards. Not so much the backs
DMac is playing okay.

Not a bad half. Nice to see a vocal crowd making it hostile and difficult for the visitors.
If we could catch all the balls they're kicking at us, we'd win comfortably.
Surprised, given the demographics of the Shore, that there's as much of a noise.
