Yeah, I agree. But he did OK as captain and helped stop a bad game becoming a total shit-show
Huh, I didn't vote for him as had limited physical impact, made some questionable choices, and wasn't in the refs ear influencing him about the stoppages. Couldn't even hear him trying.
He was quiet but kept his cool. I was just relieved that when everything was going to shit, there was no Read-style wide-eyed stare and panic.

Cody could be worth the 3rd vote, set up Jordan and had a few good runs. Probably should make my vote now but I'll wait a day just to see if I'm idiotic enough to watch a replay.
Taylor is a decent shout for setting up the try. Unfortunately, the lineout was poor and that is his corr role.
BBR was getting beaten to the jump so he called Blackadder all night,Not Taylors fault bad calls by BBR he lost confidence That he could secure his jump.

I think I heard him, but in all reality what can he actually do about it? Is he going to say to Pierce, “he’s faking”. Sure it was taking the proverbial, but that is a WR problem not an on field captain problem.
Point at the pattern, not the incident. TJP talked more to the ref than Ardie did, about Boks not making the ball available after penalties

@nzzp The worst of his decisions were not taking the 3 points when they were on offer.
Fair point, but he probably didn't think his team could bugger up so many try-scoring opportunities. If one had come off there would have been a 2 score lead and a different game. Changed tack at the right time, though.

That's test rugby. And that's the boks. Take the points on offer. You have to bury them one spadeful at a time

I had SB as a pretty clear 3rd. Not a high bar admittedly but he did a lot of work in the tight, strong with ball in hand, and unlike everyone else didn't drop the ball 20 times.

Jordie, Blackadder and Scott! SB played a good game!

Blackadder is the new McCaw
