How much damage has that 40 minutes done to All Black rugby
This needs an updated edition and epilogue.

46 missed tackles according to the Herald. Such shithouse loose forwards.
Give them time haha
'And Razor too.....'
Just imagine if this happened at home under Fozzie and Cane.
@ACT-Crusader 46 tackles missed is diabolical
@Darth-Sader A lot.
The thing is we all knew that this side had a stinker of a half in them.

Don't be complacent fluffybunnies who get high on your own hype.

Expect Havilli - Fainganuku 12 and 13 combo v wallabies
Fihaki on one wing and Ennor on the other with Jordan at fullback.
Makes sense to me.
You are a sick man

He just has a bet on us conceeding 60 or something.
Well ,as I had posted, today was my 71st birthday and was looking forward to this test so much. I then watched the worst AB performance I have seen live in my life, by quite some margin.
I can handle a loss happily, but when I think the players look like they had lost interest, to say I am pissed is an understatement

Yes the number isn’t great, but I’d be more concerned about our poor completion rate overall and the fact we could not capitalise on the Boks poor completion rate also.
We got chances but as the territory stats show we were fighting it up hill with our poor kicking game and lack of just methodical play from 10 or 15.
@Duluth said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
Given the problems with the high ball coming into the game it really was a crazy decision not to pick Clarke.
Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.
@Kirwan said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
Least Jordie seemed to care, saved a try and the big fat 50 being put on us. 12 tackles
Our best I thought, even if that is about the lowest bar imaginable.
Seems hard to believe that there was once a time when I thought he was the undeserving Barrett re selection.
Boks handling was really poor in the first half
Another issue was the number of shoulder charges we went for - Sititi, Vaa'i, Williams etc. Just luck that none of them got head contact
@Darth-Sader everything is up in the air now.
