This has to be the most disorganised, toothless NZ backline threat I have ever seen.

Nah, there's no evidence he would've made any difference to the result.


Congrats, South Africa. Not even close.
Maybe not, but I wasn't impressed with Smith against us, & his quality of pass, just isn't good enough; the receiver often has to check, & take that extra tenth to adjust the ball before they can pass themselves. It all just give the defense time, & increases the handing mistakes
Christie is not good and Aaron Smith's pass is still of the highest quality
Sorry, you're absolutely correct.

It’s only SA miss understanding of the new rules that means they don’t ‘have’ to kick before they can cross the 22 that is keeping the scoreline reasonable.

NZ shit the bed in their own half, the mighty captain throws a horrible pass and the 14 men score a humiliating try while Dane Coles scraps with someone on the floor because he's a dirty niggly prick

So the ABs have lost 5 of their last 6 test matches.

John Hart’s ABs lost 5 in a row in 1998 (their worst run to date I think), but this rabble are incomparably worse than Hart’s.

I reckon Boks by 7-12.
Yep, inclined to agree. The Boks should win by 10-15, but if the ABs make yet another slow start it could get very ugly indeed.
Nope.

The All Blacks will win it.
Enjoy the win, bro. :thumbup:

I don't think he's to blame for any of this, but tbh I've given up backing anyone at this point.

Whatever happens, happens. Can't possible be any worse than the status quo.

In all honesty I would be a little worried if I were the Boks.....only putting 26 on against this AB's side is a huge concern.

At this point the debate should be whether Cane is an international standard 7

I'm sorry, but we look to be well off the pace in most areas of the modern test game. Captaincy may be one of those areas, but it's not the All Blacks' biggest concern right now by a long shot. imho.
