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.

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

They've slowed down significantly

Weird call by Gardner, Bok flagrantly standing offside shutting off one side of attack. Smith passes into him and penalty is declined because it was intentional.

And then the books dive over the Rick and no call, rather gives them the penalty. He's rather shit and seemingly doesn't want to upset the home crowd

[Tordah]

SBW has looked a bit shit on defence IMO, also forwards conceding too many meters outside the scrums.

Cane was the only guy playing like an AB and he's out. Fark.

[ACT Crusader]

Aaron Smith had a shocker. His kicking was off. Lacked awareness to allow Faf get him at the scrum.

Took a poor option after scrum going blind to an isolated Naholo.

[booboo]

We can't blame the ref either (yet).

Angus been pretty good, apart from that weird deliberate call.

On that, I kind of get the sentiment, it's the vibe, but I reckon it was incorrect.

People need to lighten up. Dominated in the stats...even on the scoreboard. If that is all SA can do with so much pill then if we even get 10% more possession in the 2nd half it should be enough.

Ben Smith has had a positional mare. I’m thinking about BB to 15 and Mo’unga to 10.

@bones One day he will play a full season and then you'll know, you'll know!

[Damo]

Pretty happy to be tied at half time. I want to see a bit more ambition in the second half though. We seem to be a bit gunshy about using the ball. Counterattack and using width is our strength, not kicking it away at every opportunity.

[ShadowTrooper]

@no-quarter Hold it and control it. Better decision making. Cut out the dumbass stuff; 50-50s, shit kicking and slipping off tackles. Oh and we might want to have some plan on attack as well. That is if we can ever get the ball and keep it.

[Tim]

@shadowtrooper Don't make me laugh.

[ShadowTrooper]

@billy-tell Yeah baby, that's what I woulda started with!

[Gunner]

@billy-tell I don’t want to lighten up, I want to to see us play decent rugby. Don’t think it’s too much to ask...

[Tim]

@bones They're both just marking time until Papali'i takes over anyway.

Yeah early on he looked passive and fell off a few tackles. Late in the half he got into though and put in some good tackles.

[KiwiMurph]

Get the ball to Rieko in some space in the second half please.

Rieko’s playing?
