Worth a watch if only for Goodhues hair.

It was a good move, with 2 no-look passes to get the ball to Kolbe.

By the way, is Goodhue a Bogan?

Isn't that the Aussie equivalent of a Chav?

I don't think so, he's just misunderstood.

'Scored by the human attached to Jack Goodhue's hair.' Clever chap...clever piece. Totally agree with him on the Bargie/Oz game.

I have identified Goodhue already last year as the best 13 at present in the world and he is getting better.   Top class center with seriously good pace.  A thinking player - not duds like Kuridrani and Kerevi in their last game only had Esterhuizen to contend with.

So here's the attack Eraser has to counter against Bargie. The ever worldly Bargies have undoubtedly looked at this video and know the vulnerability we have if our wings, shooting inside defensively, don't seal off the outside. But they also know we have one ace in the deck.....Stephanie is permanently posted like Ganga Din on the left wing. He can never be flanked because the touchline intervenes. So the play has to be up the right wing. The tactic is to hide one player who loops around outside the right wing to take a pop pass. Who other than Matera , the Bargie 6 and Stephanie's man and a dangerous runner. With Stephanie at his post on the left wing Matera doesn't even have to hide, he is unmarked....Mapimpi squeezes in.....Matera loops, Allende jogs and Pablo's your uncle. No doubt the great brain of Eraser Head is already working on this one.

Yes Australian and New Zealand for people that have long hair, with short fringes.

We have more than just the one play...the Boks have a few effective ones...with Kolisi there, they manage to get an "overlap" by using him as a "3rd center' of sorts...and like we saw in the vid, the crashballing is quite deliberate and purposeful...clever coaching...a work in progress...variations...all new things for the Boks...small steps.

Right...it was a great vid and we all go to look for negatives to drag it down to the sewers. I was actually hoping the video would be discussed and debated...the guy actually made some valid points and sharp observations...aag but such are things.
