All Blacks v Springboks

[Gunner]

That 15 minutes of rugby from about the 20 minute mark was just plain dumb from the All Blacks. As was the last play of the half firstly turning it over then giving away the 3.

JB, WTF sort of quick throw was that?
Stupid cross field kicks. Getting too fucking cute.
You know you guys are fucking great when you catch, pass (properly) and run so don’t over fucking complicate things.

Hansen will be an unhappy camper in the sheds at halftime.

Long contracts for AB wingers are like a death knell. Hopefully that gives him some oomph.

Sheesh, it's a bit early to Savea him after 38 minutes.

Hey I called Dagg an All Black in waiting as soon as I saw him play age group. This could be my next call.

Ioane looks like a guy returning from injury. Might've been better playing NPC this weekend.

Before tonight he had played 1.5 games in the last 2 months. Certainly looks like it.

We really can't afford to let them score first after half time.

[African Monkey]

Nice work from the Boks there. Good to see them giving it to us after being written off all week.

[Kirwan]

The pace was starting to cause problems for the boks, just need to keep things simple.

[ShadowTrooper]

That first Bok try should never have happened. Two blatant forward passes were missed in the lead up to that try.
But ABs have not been helping themselves. Poor kicking dropped passes and missed tackles.
Now time for a Shag rocket

I fucking hope not! (Also, pity no one from the Canes came to the same conclusion).

[ShadowTrooper]

@kirwan Couldn't agree more. KISS ffs

[Siam]

@gunner yep. What's up with those fucken hail Mary kicks to the wing when behind on territory and score?
Nah, that's not a winning formula

[taniwharugby]

Isnt this what everyone apparently wanted?

[Victor Meldrew]

Jordie Barrett's pass was of the dumbest things I've seen from an AB team in years. Brother Beauden isn't having too flash a game either.

[broughie]

@bones I think you need to quit while you are ahead:-).

I wanted good rugby, not gifting the opposition a match.

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Exactly. We're not always gonna have it our own way. It's great seeing teams give it to us and see what we're made of in the 2nd half.

@frank said in All Blacks v Springboks:

Does Jordie have a better %age than Beauden??

Yep, two mistakes to one.

[chimoaus]

Some nice tries coupled with some stupid shit from the ABs. Getting tackled into touch and those cross field kicks are just handing possession back. Boks are defending well. They just need to give the Boks some respect, play a bit tighter and earn the right to go wide. Hopefully McKenzie comes on and runs rings around some tired big boys.

@antipodean said in All Blacks v Springboks:

How the fuck can a five-eighth miss those kicks so often?

Yep. The big fear is it will It could cost us a key game in RWC2019

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean well we get to see them under some decent pressure for the first time in a while.

[kev]

@chimoaus agree the cross field kick is over used.
