ABs defence just absolute junk
Springboks are playing really well but at least put up a fight

Massacre, wow.
Expected a bounce back and a close win but to completely nullify NZ is a huge statement.
France v SA in a couple months will be something else.

All Blacks' biggest defeat in their 122 year history
Down to 3rd in the World, down to 3rd in the Rugby Championship
Worried about the Bledisloe for the first time in forever

Have never seen NZ crumble like that end. SA from bottom of the log to the top in one game and the tournament is still very much wide open.
Razor looks shell-shocked.
Their bench is not good. They are a great 60 minute team.
Bokke!!!. Never thought I would see that on NZ soil. 43-10 is a total annihilation. I thought the Boks would win but not by that much. A lot of this ABs team are just not up to it. They are a million miles from being the best team in the world.
If the RWC was tomorrow, I’d trust France #1 and then the Boks. I’m so tempted to fly to Paris.

Looks like razor isn't managing to turn his club level achievements into international ones, or has the calibre of player NZ have access to now just taken a nosedive?
What i find amazing is how the boks managed to deliver such a performance with Reinach's performance being sub-par, if not poor. Dont get me wrong, the guy is a very, very good player. But he didn't have a good game.
Agreed. But he had an edge tonight. He was absolutely throwing his body around.

Andy Farrell was getting things wrong at the same stage as an Ireland coach, next year will be the big one for Razor. Not going to count him out yet, these things take time.
NZ are in desperate need of a 10 though, Barrett has never been the guy when the opposition is punching back.
All players fit they'll look better but TBF so would we. Just feel they lose more with a substantial amount of injuries than we or say France would.
Then again I remember the days when NZ only really got going in the last 20 and usually with the team that started. And this NZ team is not that.
This is where SA not having to play the Pumas in Argentina could be crucial. Having said that, the home game that SA have against Argentina is in Durban, which is a bit like Wellington is for the ABs.
Gutted I missed that

2nd hand hot take:
Context: QF1 tonight is Black Ferns vs South Africa

Love a good match when New Zealand are utterly smashed.
