What in the living fk has Flappy done with his hair. Combed it with used engine oil?

Nice try.

Just about to compliment Darry on his good start, particularly in the line outs, then he scores a spectacular try on debut

Probably a good thing that pass to BB from DMac wasn’t looked at too closely

Good to see long 'flat' passes allowed again.

Slow and really aimless kicking is costing NZ here. Flappy is getting picked off easily with his kicks from the base.

Worth a wee note of congratulation on Hollie Davidson being the first woman to be part of an on pitch officiating team in a Rugby Championship match today.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

This is as messy as my foodscraps bin.

We really need better service from both the forwards and TJ

More organized play by the forwards there, making good ground with each carry.

WTF was BB doing up with Reece when the plan was a tap back?

And then it works


Vok. How do you plan against the boks . Everyone playing multiple positions
I thought you were of the “specialists only” school of thought? Are you coming around to multi-role, multi-skill utility players now?

The TMO seems determined to find something illegal in that tackle. And he gets his fucking way. Thank god for Gus’ common sense in not going to a YC

Gardner trying to referee like it’s fifteen years ago. Totally out of line with modern refereeing.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Very happy with the direction we are heading.

It will take time to develop the confidence, skills and instincts on attack that have atrophied from our play style, but you can only do that in a real world environment and it’s great to see (even if our conversation rate is still a bit lower than it should be).

NZ are aimless in attack and paper thin defence. Sefrica are going to put a cricket score on us if we play like this against them.
