All Blacks vs Springboks I

[kev]

So many players didn’t play well - Bridge, Akira, BBBR, Ofa…

Critical passes from backs either wrong choice, too hard, or dropped.

Anyone doesn't give JB the points needs a kick in the head

[Machpants]

Twenty two turnovers by ABs, and boks still had nothing.

So it's official - South Africa are the dumbest side to ever play rugby.

How you gunna kick the ball straight to Barrett in mid-field when you are leading by a point with a few minutes to go? They are trolling everyone, surely?

that stoppage going on and on and on was a joke. Needs a gif with Toovey yelling 'there needs to be an inquiry'

We should make a complaint to someone official to stop it happening next game

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Ardie really doesn't look well and didn't all game. I reckon it wasn't just LJ who got the bug this week.

The 9 should have knocked it on on purpose to take the scrum.

Keeping powder dry?

Obviously the Jacobsen late out disrupted the whole team 😃

Very sad for their playmakers to turn into stoppagemakers.
I'd argue that is not Bok DNA, that is cowardice.

What was good was Jordie and Tupea. Havilli was a little off tonight but the young fella came in and was big when it was needed. Good on ya son. He is stepping up.

[Kirwan]

Ardie almost cost that game with turning down kicks right in front.

[Kiwiwomble]

I just hoping they put it all down to some sort of epic clash, they were shit and predictable and we still only just won…which means we were far from good

[Stargazer]

Keep an eye on the ref in the Wallabies v Pumas game, because that's the ref we get next week.

We didn't play well, but we won. Playing badly and winning happens with good teams.

I am happy enough.

That Smit 100th test we were poor for most of that match and then we pulled one out of the bag at the death when a Bok player (Smit) fell of a tackle.

I remember well. Though in that game SA played very well for 60 minutes. We came back from a long way behind.

At the end of the day, playing badly and still winning is more of an All Black trait than many of us would like to admit.

Reminds me more of against England in 2012.

It is not the Bok way. They are a disgrace playing like that

[Tim]

Akira worst game this year. Only about 10 quality minutes.

So many players choked. Havili awful. Perenara and BB terrible. Retallick penalties early. Savea missing.

BB didn't run on to the ball ever. Injured?

The bomb worked a treat against Bridge so they kept it going. Jordie was just sprinting around like a madman in the end trying to take them all.
