Wind direction?
Springboks making this tough, especially for our backrow and half back. Their rush defence is extremely well drilled.
I still think we'll win, but I'm a bit worried about this ref.

Ref and his team not good.
Missing loads of obvious shit from both sides
The Boks have been infringing and getting away with it? I haven’t seen you comment on those
Both sides living offside
A quick look on X and the SA rugby fans are spewing at ABs getting away with everything at breakdown, scrum time, line out, ref being biased and poor Springboks aren’t getting the benefit of being the angels that they are. Serious victim complex.

Will take that.
Our backline looking to start to click.
Should be up by more.
FFS what was with that lineout option at 35mins. Throw to 2 and maul. It was a car crash in slow motion.
It's Ike we don't want to maul anymore after Argentina 1, when that was what won us that test.
@taniwharugby said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:
scrum doing ok clearing it quick, but gee, bit of a worry
Yeah, second half could get nasty
The good news is that the ABs are matching and at some points , dominating, the bok physically. Don’t look nearly as timid as they were 2-3 years ago

Simon Parker everywhere
Only loose forward for the ABs that is actually doing the job of a loose forward

Be sure to point out both sides Mike

Looks very comfortable and relaxed
Not forcing anything

Im still waiting for Tom Foley to chime in and send off Kolisi for a head on head on Ardie Savea.
Been waiting since 2023.

Haven’t seen the stats, but Ardie has at least one breakdown steal and he’s also ran the ball pretty strong.
Fair bit of chat about the bok disallowed try.
For me the big question is, how did the ref miss it?
I hope someone put a rocket up our guys at half time, because the Bokke will be right back into it

They miss a lot of things, so not surprising.
