Springboks V All Blacks

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent kick by the NZ 10

[Tim]

@stargazer With Gibson out, Dillon Hunt is the best option.

[Stargazer]

@tim They'd probably pick Hunt ahead of Gibson anyway.

Great D

[ACT Crusader]

Good defence there. But the Boks looked gassed and out of ideas in that attacking sequence

[Bones]

@tim nah I reckon just select Gibson anyway. World's best players name on the team sheet has gotta put the shits up the opposition.

[akan004]

Frizell lacks the physicality required against a team like SA.

Then Taylor fucks it. Lucky to go in at 6 all

[No Quarter]

Yeah, the guy that was MOTM last week clearly isn't up to it.

[ShadowTrooper]

@tim what about Gareth Evans?

[ACT Crusader]

I reckon 6 all is a fair reflection of what was a tough half to watch.

Boks attack not great with all that ball. ABs gave away far to many penalties early on and that affected our aggression at the breakdown.

[Unite]

A few of our forwards looked gased as well!

[Stargazer]

The impact from the bench is going to be decisive.

A big part of that is on Aaron Smith. You are the halfback - get the ball out of there.

[Tim]

On viewing of the 2nd twenty that was just an average performance from an average forward pack. Frizell, Barrett, and Savea aren't going to frighten any one.

[No Quarter]

Farking forgettable half. Boks with all the ball but don't look very likely. ABs making poor decisions or errors every time we get it.

Think A Smith had been poor, would like to see TJP eaely in the 2nd half.

We really just need to hold the ball a bit better.

[Billy Tell]

I’m raging that Goodhue is out.

This is a good test of our mettle but after a slow start we are slowly getting back into it.

[Tim]

@kiwimurph Smith had a really shit half. Too small against South Africa.

[Gunner]

If we play at even 70% of our ability in the second half, instead of the 20% we played the first half we’ll be too good for the Boks. All that ball and they couldn’t create much.

Come on Steve give them a rocket.

[Tim]

Question is whether SA can keep the pace up in this half.
