Rugby Championship Match Thread - Sat 2nd - SA v NZ / Arg v Aus

[OomStruisbaai]

Plaas brood is home made bread.

I am doing a breakfast on the fire. Boerewors, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, onions and toasted.

Boere troos

Between tests.

[Kiwias]

Does anyone have a friend with a working link? Asking for my mate.


EDIT: This seems to be good so far.

Go, All Blacks!

[Chilli]

What’s plaasbrood? Looks like a loaf of normal bread.

Don’t remember trying it when out in your parts.

A heavy, crusty almost oily loaf.

[Sards]

Argentina defending too deep in the backline...give too much momentum to the ABs

[Sandstorm]

Ref allowing both packs to tackle defending players off the ball.

[Chilli]

When the floodgates open it will be a massacre.

Finally!!!

[Sards]

Very intriguing contest....Argies well in it still

[Kiwias]

It is a big step down from A Smith/R Mo’unga to TJP/BB

[Ymx]

Argies being a menace at ruck time. Not remotely rolling away nor releasing the tackled player.

A bit of slowing the game down now.

BB is looking good, but TJ is so slow.

They played similar tactics against us.
You need 2 or 3 passes to stick and you'll put 40.points on them.

[Sandstorm]

Is the crowd awake??

[Sandstorm]

Try Reece


Havilli is a crowbar

[Torquemada 1420]

This'll be a massacre now.

[Sards]

Nailed it. Very determined side these ABs

[Sandstorm]

Harsh yellow, zero warning given

Here it starts.

Ja, it is game over from now on.

[Sandstorm]

HT
22-0

[Enzedder]

Harsh yellow, zero warning given

No, he did warn them as the preceding lineout was being formed.

[Blake]

The All Blacks really have mastered the art of scoring just before halftime to really take the wind out of your sails heading to the changerooms.

At 33mins it looked as if the halftime score would be 7-0…and suddenly it’s 22-0.

Can’t see the Pumas coming back from that and starting the 2nd half with 14 men for 7 mins

[Enzedder]

This'll be a massacre now.

Ja, it is game over from now on.

Nic Berry will even up the cards - I prefer it when he lets things go but someone moaned a bit when he did that.

[Gumboot]

Strange old half. The ABs with a mix of helter skelter and direct running, but some top defence. Pumas winning the breakdown and pinching a couple of lineouts, but starting to look pretty beat up and breathless. Laulala's starting to really worry me. He seemingly has everything you want in a test tighthead, but just so inaccurate (first big hit apart) - is he all heat and no light?

You mean, when he blows shit?

True, although Perenara has been reasonably effective (always being on the front foot undoubtedly helps). Barrett has had an absolute wealth of possession and done virtually nothing with it. Fortunately, the AB forwards have been so dominant it hasn't ended up mattering too much.

[Sandstorm]

[Sandstorm]

Nick Berry: “Leave it! It’s a maul”

[OomStruisbaai]

All Blacks scrum struggle against 7

[Sandstorm]

Ok, that’s just ridiculous!!!

[OomStruisbaai]

Is Nick Barry a Kiwi?

[Sandstorm]

Ocker

[Ymx]

Magic by BB.

Like the BB of old !!

[Kiwias]

Rieko looking really sharp again, BB shows he can still run pretty well, and a superb back of the hand pass to Luke

[Ymx]

Did anyone just hear as well Nic Berry say

“Ok box kick coming up …”

From the argie ruck

[Sandstorm]

This Argie side is badly coached. When they get any meagre possession, they have no idea what to do.

[sorCrer]

Most fascinating thing about this game is Rieko's haircut. I've never seen that style before.

[OomStruisbaai]

Shambles of a crowdcrowd

Do you still have hair
