Reece was caught sleeping…
Hopefully…Is that the last test for Sevu Reece?
I think most of his errors he immediately made up for or it worked out for us:Once again, Sacha makes some big errors but also made massive plays. His athleticism is so noticeable compared to Pollard.
I love how 'Coach Speak' meets real world consequences.Hello darkness my old friend.
Unbelievable misses from DMac. I remember BB getting thrown under the bus for similar when he was our goal kicker. Plummer/Perofeta need to be given their chance at 10 now and/or one of the Barretts needs to take over goal kicking.
In all honesty, it felt like the ABs threw the game away again, with key moments not being capitalized...one minute after SA received that yellow for a cynical foul, Reece has a brain explosion and gets sent off...5 meters off the try line, Scott Barrett knocks on...instead of Jordie Barrett kicking that very long rage penalty, DMac takes the stage and misses it...Hello darkness my old friend.

That was called the Super 10Maybe merge the Currie Cup and NPC?
Moreover look where Bok rugby is now. A little patience goes a long way, and that's something in short supply among NZ fans who are generally stuck in a bubble and still think it's 2016 and the ABs should be smashing everyone in sight when in reality those days are long gone.Gotta keep in mind what he inherited though. The year before we lost to Italy. We were in a terrible way, which provides for a bit of leeway, but yea he came close to going if he didn't win that NZ game
I get it, standards to be the best are high. ABs used to set those standards.I love how 'Coach Speak' meets real world consequences.
Scott Robertson unequivocally does not trust his bench. He made several changes, but still left players on the bench for the full 80.
They reluctantly brought on their reserve props and the hooker only got on because of an HIA.
Why is Sam Derry on the bench? There is no room for passengers vs. South Africa.
Eh, the attack was pretty good in the first test and on occasion made the Bok defence look average. They wised up this week though and the ABs couldn't adapt. So okay, we're a step or two behind the Boks.Razor is the only coach in tier 1 rugby right now without any previous international experience. It shows. NZ don't know what to do after a handful of phases in possession. He needs to learn fast in the next 18 months.
Watching today tells me that NZ have fallen out of the top echelon of international rugby. They're behind SA, they're behind us (no fear of them without Schmidt) and they're almost certainly behind France with Dupont. 50% this year will be well earned for them and they're lucky nit to be going to Edinburgh.
This is a myth, sorry...the experience of a serial winner head coach translates at any level.Razor is the only coach in tier 1 rugby right now without any previous international experience. It shows.
