    Expect Havilli - Fainganuku 12 and 13 combo v wallabies

    Fihaki on one wing and Ennor on the other with Jordan at fullback.

    Makes sense to me.

    You are a sick man

    He just has a bet on us conceeding 60 or something.

    Well ,as I had posted, today was my 71st birthday and was looking forward to this test so much. I then watched the worst AB performance I have seen live in my life, by quite some margin.
    I can handle a loss happily, but when I think the players look like they had lost interest, to say I am pissed is an understatement

    @ACT-Crusader 46 tackles missed is diabolical

    Yes the number isn’t great, but I’d be more concerned about our poor completion rate overall and the fact we could not capitalise on the Boks poor completion rate also.

    We got chances but as the territory stats show we were fighting it up hill with our poor kicking game and lack of just methodical play from 10 or 15.

    Given the problems with the high ball coming into the game it really was a crazy decision not to pick Clarke.

    Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

    Least Jordie seemed to care, saved a try and the big fat 50 being put on us. 12 tackles

    Our best I thought, even if that is about the lowest bar imaginable.
    Seems hard to believe that there was once a time when I thought he was the undeserving Barrett re selection.

    Boks handling was really poor in the first half

    Another issue was the number of shoulder charges we went for - Sititi, Vaa'i, Williams etc. Just luck that none of them got head contact

    Vaa'i in particular was lucky not to get a card for his

    The 2027 RWC unfortunately looks a 0% risk of any breakdancing...

    @Kirwan Jordie Barrett, Scott Parker and Fletcher Newell can stay. Not really fussed about any of others based on that.

    Highest tackles and carries. Plus he took a couple of highballs dropping back.

    @Dan54 Happy Birthday.

    I am sorry the ABs served up such a disgusting shocker for you.

    Taking nothing away from the Springboks who were outstanding in the second half, I hope some of the players, coaches and senior administrators involved in that appalling All Blacks performance feel thoroughly ashamed.

    Would you kindly fuck off with that?

    Will not be watching it, ever.

    However it does need to be on repeat on every screen anywhere near every single person who’s involved with the current AB’s set up.

    @Duluth That second half was every bit as ugly as the one at Twickenham against France in 1999 in the World Cup Semi Final. At least then we had Jonah the Great on the pitch to sprinkle a bit of magic amid the rabbits caught in the opposition's headlights.

    I am going back to New South Wales County in 1992 for an All Blacks performance that has left me feeling so thoroughly disgusted and angry.

    Well played South Africa! We seem to be overcoached. Too much in their headspace clouding their instincts and ability. And I don't think we have enough rugby intelligence in the leadership group. Plenty of doers, not enough tactical smarts.

    Just watched the post match interview with Razor. Cannot believe how soft the AB cheerleaders from SKY are with him. Sickening. They really don't seem to care that the legacy and the brand has been absolutely shattered tonight.

    You'd expect Savea, S Barrett, Sititi, Kirifi, B Barrett, Lomax, de Groot, Proctor, Jordan to all get dumped for the next game. Vaai was shithouse too.
