Springboks v All Blacks 2
-
Nonu visibly leans into Wilson over his questions to Havili. Basically tells him to f”@k off. Haha still dominating off the field haha

Keep Nonu on. Didn’t get the Sky memo to ask leading non questions. Asking real ones and pressing the answer.
God yes I was wanting Jeff to shut the fuck up with his waffly bullshit.
I like where Nonu was going with the last question - pushing for some consistency in selections.
Nonu also sounds like he'd make a decent fist of coaching with his game questions too.
People go on about Conrad being the "brains" but Nonu was easily as smart a player. He really was the complete package at 12, comfortably the GOAT 12.
Didn’t Ted tell a story about how he was about rip Nonu one about a misfiring backline and he looked like he was sulking then he turned around and gave a full on analysis back about why the plan was wrong and the small adjustments needed.

Congrats to the All Blacks and Foster. By far the better team. Our defense and aerial game not even close to last week.

Thought Cane led really well
I don't know what I'm expecting from a captain, but he's not it. Disappearing for most of the match between a couple of hard hits, shies in comparison to what I'm seeing from Ardie, Whitelock, Scooter.
He's not a demonstrative leader, but goes quietly about his work. He's a warrior and I think that rubbed off on the team today.
I just think as a player, he's struggling and that's an issue.

The lineout defence was awesome. Ryan thank you
-
There’s only one thing that will make this win sweeter, if the Aussies lose later today…

Fantastic win
Congratulations
But you won in spite of RM not because
If you think he’s the answer at 10 you’ve learned nothing
He did some very important things in terms of getting our backline going. Made some terrible errors too. But overall his intent in attack is what we needed tonight.
Yeah laughable to suggest what Mike said.
@Canes4life said it best when discussing JGB. I'd rather have rocks and diamonds than just rocks.
If Polllard had been playing for NZ it would have been a canter
What the fuck did Pollard do? Disappeared or passed it to Am? Yeah good one.
Kicked for territory
Got his backline moving
Didn't put his side under needless pressure
Didn't give up pointsAll behind a non-dominant forward pack
If he'd had the ride RM had, the margin of victory would have been greater

I'd like SB to stay at lock. We have enough 6s not enough locks and time the players were bedded in.
Also interested what NZR do regards coaching. I still think Foster has lost the room (as in public) but maybe this won't be clear for a few days. -

He's pretty scary for a vegetarian!

The lineout defence was awesome. Ryan thank you
there was one in the second half that barely moved an inch...and Cane was not even bound.
rock solid.

@nostrildamus said in Springboks v All Blacks 2:
The ABs coach has been outstanding
Keep him.
His name is Ryan btw.
Nah, the AB forwards were shit last week and as has been said, you can't judge a coach after two games. It's obvious Ryan's coaching improved after another week working with Foster....
-
he put in a great shift. spilling claret and all for the jersey.
sometimes people see a missed tackle but don't see all the other black shirts he overtook on his way back chasing the green jersey.
Happened to McCaw chasing Francois Hougaard a few years back here.

He's been going thru a shit time as captain and I'm really stoked for him tonight.

It worked really well. Meanwhile RM gave his forwards a sweet ride so that he could get a sweet ride.

What a game, Sam Whitelock! Rieko Ioane and Scott Barrett also great, but wow, old Sam's still got it!
I liked the way individual players stepped up when things weren't going well. Caleb Clarke's tackle to stop a certain try, Jordan's mark when the Boks were in the ascendency, Havili making a great tackle.

Ha ha
Must have been watching a different game from me
I hope you keep him
Because he'll shit the bed when you least want him to
