Scotboks vs All Blacks

What can the braves do today?

After 2 quick fire tries from the AB, Scots fired back with two of their own. 

Pierre Schoeman has done well with his ball carry and scrumming. 

Duan Van Der Merwe lost the ball a few times in contact 

Good first 10 minutes then all down hill from there for us.

Replace Havilli pot Mounga at 10, Jordie at 12 and BB at full back.

And keep it in tight more, making some decent ground there, go wide when the Scots over commit

Two stupid plays from our backs have let Scotland right back in

Thats if Mounga is on the bench, haven't  seen the bench for this game

Doing more than just hanging in there....GO SCOTTIE !!!

Scotland playing well, ABs have to up their game!

Ref pinging the ABs more than normal...or not?

You just know the All Blacks are going to break their hearts just when they start believing they have the game in their hands. It's tradition. 

unfortunately...more than a century of tradition to thwart.

GO SCOTTY!!!

Duh an doing well...

Stop fuckin kick away possesion

NZ scores!

Common Scotty, you deserves your first AB scalp...make it today.

There you go. Sorry Scotland. 

Fook Lemur...pigs are gonna fly today...GO SCOTTY!

Gripping games, subs are the difference for the AB

AB doing well with their drives, got the Scots on there heals. Good play on getting space for your backs 

Not

What a conversion!!!

   Hard luck Scotty...

not today.

Great effort from the Scots.

ABS disappointing for a lot of that game

The old headless chook rugby is back unfortunately. 

Play like that against England and we will get slaughtered 

ABs finally got their act together but there was a long spell when it seemed like everything was going wrong. Congrats ABs. Good effort Scotland!

21 missed tackles, that's appalling 

Same old, same old. The Scots can't close out a game. So, New Zealand prevented a clean sweep by the North. Interesting times. 

That All Black team was there for the talking but the Scots always find a way to lose.

Scots have potential but I think deep down they still don't think they can win. All Blacks not the force they once where. They show flashes but lack consistency.

I think the French are the worlds best at the moment, but not invincible. Ireland are good but think France edge them out. As an Irishman I'd rather Ireland played New Zealand than either France or South Africa as I think our game style counters them more, but weirdly I think New Zealand counter South Africa better than we do and that may be more psychological at this point. South Africa expect to beat everyone bar New Zealand who they expect to lose too.

There isn't one great test team right now. Most teams are too erratic to put the Boks away consistently. We need to rid ourselves of Eramus while there is still a chance to get ahead of the rest of the world. We have the resources to make that happen. 

All Blacks won the game in the last 20 min with the injection from there bench. The hooker made a big difference in the loose, the new props always scrummed better. They made the hard yards with relentless carries. 

The Scot just don't have that quality on the bench. Especially when your replacement prop is 37 years old and your starting prop only gets a 20 min break. 

NZ did the same to SA in the 2nd test with the Boks emptying the bench way to early 

There are players in this AB team against Scotland who should not be All Blacks.

B Barrett is a first five.

And Jordy should be in the centres.

Some of the props need to go.

I am pleased for Mark Telea finally getting a run.   

Congrats NZ...well played and an excellent fightback...weldon on the Women's RWC trophy as well.

Surely you mean BB is NOT a first five.

He was bloody terrible, one of his worst games in black.

FB or not in the 23 at the moment,, never thought I would say this but bring back DMac.
