If Proctor misfires again this weekend where does that leave us for the Springboks?
Because, Wallabies aberration aside, I don't like the sound of Kriel, DDA and Esterhuizen running at Mr. Looks-Good-At-Super

According to Mauss' analysis, it's not all his fault. He got sold down the river by Ardie for a try, and by BB getting smashed behind the gain line

Maybe we should give him the ball then instead of fluffing around at 9 and 10. The best thing for Proctor right now would be an injury to Mr Kick the Ball Away.

Paddy Tups with a fractured scull. Won’t see him again this year I suspect.

Ugh, he was doing a nice job off the bench too

@chchfanatic that is big blow, he has found his groove in the ABs for the last 2 years

Have to say things are heating up in SH rugby.
Australia looking better than they have in years. Argentina competitive.
AB forwards finally developing real strength after years of being sub par.
WC Australia 2027.
Plenty to look forward to. -
Billy Proctor's playing well enough not to be given the boot, but not well enough to convince anyone he's the long-term answer at 13.
Options there are thin. I am happy to give Billy Proctor another outing, but we'll need to see more accuracy and impact or else it will be Reiko Ioane in the 13 jersey to face the Boks.

Is it fair to say the current backline is the worst of the twenties? Just seems to have gone from bad to worse in the Razor era.
Luckily we have one of the strongest 1 to 6 this century and depth there too
@brodean Jordie Barrett and Will Jordan are outstanding, so is Cam Roigard when he's fit. Options beyond that are rather thin.
I can't helping them we need to be a bit braver at picking backs who impress in Super Rugby and the NPC ahead of old staggers.

That's terrible news. He's done a great job this year.
Hopefully he willl see that doctor who healed Waisake Naholo's leg a few years ago and be back for the EOYT.

Savea 7 , Sititi 8 and Roigard 9. You can just about make a case 1 to 9.

Not even close to this century I'd say. Debatable even this decade.

It's nice to win the first four games of the season, but let's see how we go next week, then again the Boks, the Wobs and against the British Isles teams.
A long way to go this year.

Alternatively the 10 is giving him what he wants.
Chaos? He's on record saying he wants fast pace, wide running rugby. So I guess that's what he's trying to give us, from Wayne Smith's playbook, or what he understands as his playbook

He should tell the backs to pass the ball wide a bit faster then, rather than shovel it along the line.

Fark. On multiple levels.

Sometimes I think JB kicking it 60m down town would be a good option.

Why are we getting so many injuries this year? Massive blow.
