Poor miss Proctor.

Proctor ?

Great tackle Proctor

What's the excuse for Proctor this time?

Proctor stealing a living as a Test player

Who dropped it? Just lay on the ground and slowly got it. Hadn't even got up before the ball was on the other side of the field.

Proctor is a Super Rugny player out of his depth any higher.

Jordan I think

Proctor is straight dog shit. Terrible defender. Dump him and bring back Ioane.

Should have known.

Anyone got a stream?? PM me.

Fuck that tackle attempt was weak.

Conceding early tries is a terrible habit.

Lomax carrying well. Roigard mixed bag so far.

That was a shocker

Menoncello is a fabulous player, shouldn't have got through there so easily though.

Sam Darry in.

One way traffic from now on.

Looked like a double movement to me.

Very strong start from Darry

Lively work by all the forwards there. A few good carries from Jacobson so far.

7-7 after 9 minutes.

Eh? Not even a hint of it.

Italy haven't touched the ball since their try.

Ref taking a long time with these set pieces.

It’s more of a river than a stream just up the road.

Billy Proctor has made a poor start. Let’s hope he improves. Some Merhts like defence there….

With Darryl’s hairline, he’ll be captain sooner rather than later.

That's a bullshit pen. He got the ball, so how is it holding on? Hate those ones.

DMac horrific under the high ball.

Italy nearly in again, but the final pass was poor.

A French ref special.

And a bullshit free kick to the Italians.

@His-Bobness
It is interesting how coaches go about motivating and building culture in teams. This coaching group seem to have a core set of principles and they seem to use certain words that embody those principles. Optimism and brutality seem to be the common combo, I have also heard alignment, relentless work rate, and cultural connection as well.

I guess time will tell if they have the desired result but so far I like what I am seeing from this group.

Not feeling good about SA tour. Dropping high balls and soft defence.

Proctor, Carter, McKenzie not exactly robust defenders.

Loose forwards scaring nobody.

Same old shit.

Slow the game down and we look very average.

Bring back Ioane

Fucking Proctor again. How hard is it to know you can't crawl through a fucking ruck?

Soft defence by Sititi.

Sititi a big downgrade on Lakai (so far)

Lomax's ear is going to fall off
