No offence to New Zealand, but this is by far the worst All-Black team I have ever seen.
Wales put up a better fight, and they are ranked 8th in the world
If the Boks had been clinical on attack, it would have been a 40-point win. The Boks only had 2 backline reserves. So with the early injury to Faff, it meant Willie Leroux could not get onto the pitch to create scoring chances until the very end of the game - where he almost instantly scored.
Delande managed to destroy most attacking moves, and if he had left the fray earlier the Boks would certainly have scored more tries. His long pass is so bad, he has taken to kick passes which were hopeless. When he is bad, he is really bad and becomes the worst crash ball in the game. What is the point of having a scrum and passing to him to walk into tackles and to get isolated? Rather just pick and drive with the forwards until a space opens up.
Foster has to go. The body language of the All Blacks was negative. Only at the very end, did they start to look like a semblance of the traditional All Blacks.
The basic error rate by the ABS has never been so high, and this was amongst wild passes that destroyed their most promising attacking movements.
The All Black breakdown was an eat as much as you want buffet. The high ball was like taking candy from a baby.
The All Blacks’ loss to the Springboks was the fifth in six Tests after three defeats by Ireland and another by France. Foster has lost nine of 25 Tests in charge of the three-time world champions while predecessor Steve Hansen suffered 10 defeats in 107 Tests.
There is no point persisting with this joker, he is out of his depth. He is the New Zealand answer to Alister Coetzee
