Ardie cop a shoulder to head in that passage?

@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:

Head clash on Ardie?

That rule doesn’t apply to ABs. Didn’t you know?

The ref is having a shocker.

Increbily still night here in Wellington in terms of wind for once

2 failed HIA’s for tacklers….

Libbok on for the rest of the game. No safety net on the bench.

SA resorting to a midfield bomb. Are they losing confidence in tonyball?

We’re starting to lose the high ball contest

Hotham gone surely?

No

SA well on top in that contest

Need to try something else

Our wingers aren't big enough to combat the springboks tall timber eh

@canefan said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:

They said he's failed HIA

Hopefully the big saffa forwards will get gassed with all this running.

The Boks are going to be knackered in the second half.

@Darth-Sader starting, how many weeks now?

That will change when Ruben Love comes on. They should have started him.

Boks really pushing the offload like we haven’t seen since Ruan Pinnear was running around.

SA hands letting them down at crucial times

Loving these long clearances

Our scrum isn't good again.

Kicks so far have been good, contests less so.

Hopefully this pace will hurt the boks forwards later

I'm pretty sold on DMac at FB, his kicking game alone makes a real difference

We were ok in the first 10-15 mins I thought

Sa scrum drove through there we were lucky to get away with standing up

It’s not dominating but we are holding.

Been sold on him at 15 since 2018

Old ‘no contact please’ BB under the high ball there

Beauden good angle under pressure there for that clearance

Tonyball shelved.bokslack the confidence to break through so have reverted to type

Good battle so far.

Hooker is same weight as lomu just 2cm shorter. Wild.

AB defence has been strong.

Great D Jordan and Vaai

Great kick BB

BB and DMac are giving me a chubb

Really? He looks normal size

Awesome kick, come on let's put one on before the half

Rugnynseems to have relaxed the rules on wrapping necks
