They are smart enough to know that that the only way to put Clark down is to go low...unfortunately that's also where his knees are.
Dumb enough to try going low with the head though. Really poor technique, blame on both players and coaching.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

You in your “neutral” mode again.
Yes, obviously your one eyed-ness doesn’t notice the posts slagging off the saffers for being dumb.

100% agree. Bad technique.

Not having a dog in this particular fight I think he’s been good.

Bar the lineouts which have all been massively skewed.

You just can’t coach skills like that……

3-4 times they've been on the verge.
Just that last slip up each time.
Full-hearted efforts.

Credit to the All Blacks. They are making the Bok rucks VERY messy which they didn't do last week. Also looking decent in the air.

It's really their handling skills that is costing them momentum. Passes are just not finding support runners like they usually do.

Kriel failed the HIA. Here’s the problem though, he shouldn’t have had one. He showed clear signs of concussion immediately, so should you’re not meant to go through an HIA for that, you’re meant to be permanently removed. Little things like that are what will be used in evidence when unions are sued by former pros.

Yeah, most things clicking. Just the handling - weird given our attacking coach in the maestro himself.

Finally Dweba gets called. All 4 his throws so far have been skew.

Against the All Blacks you take the points. Should have kicked the penalty.

Passes finding some hands. Beautiful break out attack down the touchline.

Mo'unga looking much better at 10 than BB did last week.

Bok backline defense looks very disjointed with all the shuffling. Should have just moved Willie to 15 and Willemse to 14 when Kriel went off.

Sticking Am on Kriel's wing is just stupid.

I've been such a massive cheerleader of his for so long, I'm very disappointed.

Have to say. I think only one side in the world can score a try like that when they click.

Night and day between this and last week. There's a sense that these players have actually met before and trained together.

'tis what I feared going into this match.

Boks seldom play well when they have the favourites tag.

Bok heads are hanging already. Nothing is working.

Much better from the ABs, looks like they’ve actually realised they have to work for it. Still look like they want to rely on individual moments of brilliance in attack though. Much more intensity in their game though

I honestly think that NZ would not have got the first 8 points if not for Dweba. They were all down to his mistakes.

Agree. Top coach. They were lucky to get him.

Started with a solid lineout at the tail and a good maul that gave the backs space.

Dweba didn't give us that.

Appalling tackle. He literally had him wrapped with both arms and still let him through.

Nienaber flooding the subs in.

Le Roux, Marx, Kitshoff and Wiese all on the park already.
Hope we don't run out of subs when we actually need one due to injury at the end of the match...it's happened before.
