Mitigation?!?!?! Oh my LORD

Did anyone stay down for 3 minutes on that Etzabeth potential red? Nahhh eh.

That 4v2 overlap interference has been a yellow since the whole "lazy running" back in the day when it was NZ vs Aus. It was a Lock that did it... Any historians here? Lol.

It's because the Boks players are staying down for 3 minutes for TMO to look at it. It's not how NZ play.

Typical Wayne Barnes game.

My big concern is outside of that 30 minutes where we looked like we used to in whatever year that was... 2015...? It was the same no direction, no structure, relying on individual brilliance as we have done since 2015. Where are the set plays with our talented backs?

Yeah I was looking at that guy and was like... Man he's pretty big, haven't seen him run the ball yet. Think we saw him run twice and just goosey a little bit..

Yeah but.. Is the key to just weather the ABs for the first 30 minutes and then they produce the same mediocre rugby with flashes of individual talent like they have for the last 8 years?

*cough* I appear to have accidentally put SA instead of AB. This was definitely an accident, guys.

Ball still rotating? Thought SA had advantage for ABs knocking it on tho...

Holy hell that is an awesome try :O

35-19 to SA.

Yeah, the thing is about that... NZ plays either South Africa or Ireland in the quarters... Those are teams that I'd favour for one off games vs the ABs, in a tournament, where NZ won't be the favourite. I do truly think we have quarter-final exit written all over this team, and its not for a...

Not sure what is weaker, this line, or Marcus Smith kicking the ball out. :confused:

Yeah... I just don't know where this puts either team. Are England good? Are New Zealand good? Are they both just mince meat for France, Ireland, and South Africa?

??????????? u wot m8 In hindsight, like lets just assume that whole "we took our foot off the gas" suggestions, that'll never happen again for the current members of this All Blacks team.

It is a rarity for the All Blacks to look good for 40-60minutes........................................................ I don't know how I feel tbh... I don't have a great barometer on England... I thought we looked good for the first 40, the half could have seen us up by another 5-14 points...

Erm, there was "no clear release", and really... Well, I'm not sure on the rules, but carding then awarding a try for a play later than the card...? Idk if that is even a thing. However, Mo'unga diving in from the side to disrupt that ball, if Barrett doesn't go then Mo'unga does.

I guess you never know with that ref tbfh. Marcus Smith mighta run it straight into contact and penalty... ABs win...? Idk. The fact that Mo'unga kicked it short I was like WTFH.

coulda stayed in bed..
