The Silver Fern

Bok fans are going to go mental

@hikastags said in France vs Springboks:

France will be incredibly tough to beat in 27.

Also missing Mauvaka, Atonio, Cros, Alldritt, Dupont & Jalibert tonight.

Crazy isn't it. The Top 14 is the best domestic competition in the world by a distance.

Both these teams are a few streets ahead of the ABs

Just as long as we are up there with them come the WC.

I actually think the ABs are building nicely.

Some of these players are so slick

Both these teams are a few streets ahead of the ABs

@ExiledHalfback said in France vs Springboks:

My word. That's outrageous.

This full strength French side might be able to belt this Bok side.

Even without DuPont. French playing like the ABs used to.

Their wingers and fullback are outrageous.

My word. That's outrageous.

This full strength French side might be able to belt this Bok side.

@MiketheSnow said in Scotland v All Blacks:

DMac the best 10 out there today

For me the time is now to give the keys to the 10. It's McKenzie with Love on the bench.

Barrett has been unbelievable for us. I remember thinking how is it possible Carter retired but this kid when on form is utterly unplayable. But the time has come.

@BerniesCorner said in Scotland v All Blacks:

Recent criticism of Holland on here.
You wonder whether some people don't actually watch the game

Hes going great guns man. Lord was also very good today. This is very promising

Cards have killed us for years.

Is Rugby scripted?

That's a shame Clarke was going good

@Tim said in Scotland v All Blacks:

Can't beat ABs if you don't have aggressive defence.

They are compressed seemingly daring us to go wide. That last play it took one simple fast pass to get the overlap.

Yeah they're respecting the ABs way too much. I think Shaun Edwards was the one which cottoned on that if you kill the ABs space with intense rush defense we are nowhere near as dangerous. I think the NH figured this out around 2017 and obviously our results haven't been the same since.

That's how easy it can be lads.

There's space for days down that left hand side.

Brilliant.

I want more from Jordan. Not good enough so far.

Another score before half time would be ideal

What's Scotland fitness and bench like?

Clever to pull him over the line there.

Beuden just keeping the jersey warm for Richie Mo

Just lacking that confidence for those last passes.

Great work from Savea
