Realistically that's as good as can be expected.

They defended the Garden

Well done!

Man that was stressful

South Africa played the better rugby. We were just lucky we got a few good tries early and could hold on.

How the fuck is that not a YC?

Because it was bullshit?

At least the TMO invented a high tackle to save face.

Comedy.

Shoulder to the head

YC and off field review

Mitigation as attacker was falling in the tackle

Stays YC

Been ruled that way for years

Not tonight

God you've been a miserable prick tonight

Consistently miserable at the non-officiating

Unlike the officials

I'd have taken that if you offered it earlier in the week

Rocks and diamonds

Explain?

He’ll do soemthing amazing but his general work around the field, particularly the ruck, is very average.

Get out of town. You don’t play 100 tests for the ABs if you’re rocks and diamonds.

I notice you drop in to most games claiming the team playing the ABs is being robbed.

Bloody enjoyed that

Everything we thought beforehand still stands.

Rieko is finished.
Reece probably is too based on Narawa’s innovation.

Beaudy is not a tens ring piece.

Jason Holland needs to clear out his locker and hand back his car park pass.

Finlay Christie needs to be shot out of a circus canon into the nearest pond.

@Frank He’s got a shoulder on his chip, methinks.

Man, I’m pretty stoked. We are miserable lot looking for perfect rugby and backline moves, but in my experience the high intensity games, especially those in NZ winter conditions, rarely have attractive footy.

Initial thoughts are good win.

But we should have put them away when we were well on top, but we invited pressure on ourselves with awful options and worse execution.

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on that. We weren't great but I won't have that we got lucky and they played better rugby

Disagree. The Boks were good at set piece but unimaginative in attack. If we'd played with a little more assertiveness we would have won more comfortably

ALB has played 86, only 14 more to go...

While I don't disagree, we parked the bus when they were there for the taking, and then invited them back in.

Same old shit

Ending 4 straight Bok wins

Good shit

He’s not at 100 yet.

Good result for the All Blacks but the Springboks offered almost nothing in the first 60 minutes, constantly mucking up fairly basic plays.
