South Africa vs New Zealand

[Gavin]

Are NZ just off the plane? Genuine question because this is bad.

I think South Africa are just smothering them. I'm sure the possession stats are mad in SA favour

ABs really need to look where they're passing, especially on these half breaks where the blitzing defenders are behind them

I don't think we can put it down to that, their D has been on point, think you have to massively credit the way SA are playing mostly stopping momentum before they can build.

Yeah but there's no response at all, surely jet lag is playing a part. Similar to our 1st test in Eden Park in 21.

what a stupid penalty to give away. No chance of an actual turnover.

Edit: bailed out by Scott Barrett

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah he's gone, even without the previous yellow

Unfortunately Scott Barrett won't be able to join NZ on their trip to France as he hates the French.

 

[BrokenWing]

What was that? No chance of clearing anyone out with that flop.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

He's got history in this regard too don't he? Still, 4 weeks back in time to lose to Johnny Sexton again.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

That's a silly red. Now he'll be banned for the France game at least.

Absolutely a frustration hit, even if he'd hit the guy next to Marx he couldn't have had a material impact on the ruck, it was just to put a hit on someone

 

[die_mole]

All black lock losing their cool . . . Never

 

[Jimbo]

Considering how whistle happy MC was on NZ at the breakdown he's being very lenient on SA.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What. A. Try.

 

[Jimbo]

Magic!

 

[West Country Wail]

Quel Domage

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah ffs, show another angle - did he lose contact with it?
Let the boys play!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Great try, weird game. Two unhappy coaching teams I reckon.

 

[Booboobang]

Beautiful from NZ, multiople playmakers pulling the SA defense all over the shop.

Edit - Ahhh well nether the less.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

5mins in the red and the crowd booing kicking to touch haha
