All Blacks v Springboks
-
@paekakboyz perfect storm or an anomoly...looking at the stats, we had them everywhere but the scoreboard, when usually it is us that win with less ball and territory.
Certainly makes the next game against them much, much more intriguing.
This game has given them self belief, but you could argue we are still a much better team, so will they be able to replicate thier accuracy and intensity on defence, while also expecting us to crumble under the pressure again, and BB have another off night with the boot.

Loftus means penalties from 60 m are on the cards. You know SA will take them so we have to expect more long range attempts at goal.

@bovidae Assuming JB plays, he takes long ones anyway doesnt he?
@taniwharugby For the Canes, but a different mindset in SR. It shouldn't matter at altitude, your regular kicker should have the distance.

True. I'm looking forward to this game even more. Should ask some really tough questions of our tactical approach.

It's based on the difference between the two teams and the added difficulty of playing away. Helps that Australia dropped.

Looks like it was a combination of the Boks win over a team above them - they go up, and Oz's loss to a team below them - they go down.

His composure seems fine when kicking. Keep your toys in your cot until it goes wrong, then you can start throwing them.

Righto. Another win for Argie could see them usurp France which would be amusing.

Nah, in the 70s they managed to get to ninth. Predictably there are claims the coaches have to go, with counter claims asking "ok, who?".
I think making the RWC final in 2015 gave a false impression. It's been a continual slide. Since then they've managed 15 wins from 36 Tests, a success rate of 41 percent.

WOW!!! I know they are trucking along poorly but 15 from 36!
Imagine if that was the AB's record over the same period. There would be a coup!!!

Were there irb rankings back in the 70s?
They were absolutely dogshit in the 70s , in his book Kirky questioned the value of bothering to play them as a warm up to a tour because they were so awful.Are we supposed to be magnanimous about their slide or is it cool to get into some schadenfreude ?
