Very very harsh full arm penalty at the scrum. Both props genuinely appeared to slip on the replay not 'pressure and pull' like the ref claimed
In fact Penalty against Boks LH for collapsing on to knee.

Shades of Anton Oliver days in the lineout.
Tbf that last lineout was more on Holland/just good play from SA.
Throw too low.

Carter is not a test wing can’t tackle crap under the high ball
People wanted to see if he could perform at test level. Can’t complain when the coaches give people what they want
Meanwhile, the one back three squad member who is great under high ball ISN’T picked.

How did we win last week? This is the worst half of all blacks rugby I've seen in my life.
Worst quarters for sure.
-
Last quarter rewatch to flow, but what is apparent is:
-
Taking off Parker and Sititi lessened our ruck effectiveness and in particular the defence around the ruck disappeared;
-
Taking off Proctor and Carter lessened our attacking effectiveness and backs defensive alignment fell apart;
-
Scooter looked gassed at end, so the No brainer was for FH to replace him, rather than Parker;
-
When we need to reset and gather composure, better to get ball out in oppo half rather than go for their 22: BB and Jordan I’m talking about you;
-
When we are under the pump quit the fancy Dan crap: Vaa’l lineout call at 60, BB kick passes (FFS!!!), RD chip; and
-
Hold the ball in two hands when diving for try line. No guesses for whom I’m talking about.
Half of those the coaches, the others SENIOR players.
KISS and we lose that by 10 max.
It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters in
last 5.

If talking about Love, he did get a chance to cameo and didn’t cover himself in glory either.
In fairness, that is probably being too harsh on him. When everyone else on the pitch had lost their heads, what is a young man with little international experience supposed to do?
Rassie did make a point post-match that even though his team looked like it was inexperienced on paper, only 2 (I think) of his 23 man squad had less than 10 caps. ABs had 8 players in the 23 with less than 10 caps. The capitulation on the ABs had everything to do with senior leaders not setting the example and stemming the bleeding. They started the rot that spread throughout the entire team. The subs just added to the chaos.

Something tells me this will be required viewing every Christmas in Bok supporters homes

@stodders I meant Clarke.
in fairness, he has been injured. For once, they may not be rushing someone back too quickly.
He should be in the mix for the Bledisloe games. If not, there are some real issues with selection going on.

He played two games for Auckland in the two weeks prior to this match. He's had a lot more recent rugby than Noah Hotham (or Simon Parker prior to his debut the other week).

@stodders not often to see Libbok performing that well. as a Stormer supporter if our three musketeers (Libbok/SMZ/Gazza) get it right its eye candy. Just to fail in the next 10 tests.
When he is on, Manie is your best attacking 10. When he is off…oof!

Fist half thoughts:
Early on the ABs looked good if a little shaky under line speed pressure.
The first AB try was very nice. The intercept from Kolbe was a lack of eyes-up play by Proctor. Could have scored at the other end but the pace got to him.
Vaai is a dickhead. Not really a profound observation
maybe he should concentrate on pushing at scrums instead of clapping and laughing?Wiesse is the avatar of rip and tear.
Boks scrum going great guns with 30 gone.
B Barrett looking ponderous and slow. He doesn't like heavy traffic. Failed to exit right before half-time which was a basic bitch error.
New Bok winger is bloody useful.
AB defensive line noticeably crooked. Pushing hard in the first 2 channels but lagging a bit wider.
AB Lineout at 35:50 - wtf happened??
Everyone playing as frantically as a virgin couple on their wedding night. With about as satisfying a result.
Lot of injuries and HIA.
Impression: Boks are ascendant but not finishing their opportunities. ABs are attacking from depth - too deep IMHO - but lacking a bit of subtlety; not much in the way of deception.
Bed time. Second half tomorrow.
Great overall insights as ever Nick.
The bolded bit is not so much because I feel you're wrong - too much - but more because on replay you have to admire how Cheslin pressured him to pass, with the intention of then trying for the intercept. -
