I wonder if it’s a ‘green’ thing….

ABs look really low on confidence. Next score could be crucial

15 minutes ...
Thus far, ABs are doing nothing more than spluttering along.

Harsh. PSTD kept his arms in the way over the ball there to stop the Kiwi player presenting and making it easier for Marx to get in on the ball.

I know we've only had 30 minutes but the kiwis really have to bring Sam Cane off the bench, because the guy they have at 7 is second best in every aspect of the game so far...

Loving the SA approach, not prepared to slow things down, constantly in the NZ faces and the back three is adding a lot of threat to the physical game the forwards are bringing.

Thomas and Ox should have started

Our mauling and scrumming has been poor

AB's passing leaves a lot to be desired

I didn't watch a huge amount of the Ireland series, so perhaps they were just as bad a few weeks ago, but I can't recally having seen an ABs team that looks so disconnected.

BB doesn't seem to want to let any of the other backs have a go.

They were. The surprise is that there's been no obvious reaction.

Some brief moments of good play in a half where they were otherwise totally outclassed. Most one sided 7-pointer in a while.

Another shambolic first half. It's a pattern, regardless of the opposition.

Going for the miracle kick when grubber would have been best option. ABs throw it away again.

That high ball into the 22... Schoolboy stuff from NZ dealing with that. Hapless.

That was a very fortunate ankle tap...then the SA maul destroyed the AB's, this is actually a good game to watch for the neutral

Thought the ab tighthead was in a good position there. Then came the pressure and he lost it completely.

Other than that, he's been hopeless. No idea where he should be on defence.
