Boks missing a lot of first time tackles.
Boks missing a lot of first time tackles.
Not looking good here for the Boks.
Zero answers to the Abs early enterprise.
4 Penalties against the Boks already.
10 - 0 Abs
70 more minutes of this please
All Abs so far.
They wanna run.
Showing that if you disrespect this Bok defense and don't run into them = easy progress.
92% possession Abs
We on.
Already 10 points for NZ. Going to be a game with SA rugby usual lack of gameplan.
They must score and for the moment, NZ seems happy with milking penalty situations.
Malherbe has a knee on the ground.
This Bok team is not as good as last week's one.
Boks at sea, back tide . Will it be 50+ today
And a foul by a quota player that was dismissed by the ref.
Boks 10 down and execute a perfect exit from a scrum on their try line.
Hallo all.
HKGK?
Will Jordan is ripping us to shreds.
One way traffic, Rassie completely exposed today. Don't know if I can watch the rest
Boks have nothing here.
Fuck this.
Great job Rassie.
And another try. It goes too fast for SA rugby that is ironically put under pressure by up and unders.
Quota players as usual to be blamed for the lack of rugby happening from SA rugby.
Agreed, K'orn.
17 to nil. Going to be a slope to climb for SA rugby as they prefer to take the lead at score board;
Ref to intervene soon enough to bring SA rugby back in the game.
Come on Bokke!
Where is Lomp?
Eben has made some big hits and tried to impose himself.
Lomp may as well not be there.
And it happened. SA rugby most reffing boosted nation yet will play victim of a conspiracy, cabbal or whatever.
Boks going for touch with a penalty from halfway....have a lineout outside the 22...Lomp takes the catch, DDA hits the line...Melherbe ruins it.
Penalty
Frizel beating the boks like he beats his woman
Boks showing some spirit at 50m out.
DDA rucks over a ball and gives us some momentum.
Linoute close to the line and maul goes nowhere for he Boks.
Typical SA rugby period of time: players sitting on the ground, wasting time etc
What a disgrace.
Bring RG on ASAP.
Get Malherbe off the filed too.
Wow!! I’m following the game via planet rugby on a boat in Sweden - thank god for technology. Sounds like a high paced game with plenty of excitement. I hope the ABs can sustain this!!
How can that be a knock-on? It was backwards. Should have been a try. Come on Bokke!
Fuck 50/50, so close, well Kolbe keep it up
Fucking DUD!!!
Time to drop him
Ref too shy to validate a SA rugby try crippled with multiple knock ons.
Malherbe Belly-flopping, reset of an attacking scrum here for the Boks...
Malherbe going to get penalised here...
Meleherbe holds up at the scrum, high kick for Chessie...
No try is the call after a 50/50 call where Cheslin tried to dot down a high kick. I need to look at that again...
DDA fumbles a high ball and gives the Abs 50m of ground...what a loser.
What a game. NZ is managing their scoreboard lead and exposing SA rugby blatant lack of rugby.
Nothing has been happening since the last NZ try.
De Klerk shoring his worth.
It so easy t tell who should and shouldn't be on this field today.
Admittedly, the reffing is very friendly to the Abs at home today.
That was a try for me
Can we just stop bitching about selections for another hour and just support our boys?
Come on Bokke!
SA rugby have no clue how to play rugby. Players look lost, they do not know what to do.
Seasoned professionals who do not have a stub of an idea, nothing.
What a disgrace.
"That was a try for me"
SA rugby playing as if they were in lead, wasting time, stalling the game in mid field, taking scrum after scrum.
These guys have no clue what to do.
What a waste of money from empoverished SA.
Huh? Advantage over???
Nothing good will happen here for the Boks in the final 10 of the first half.
AE and Snyman should have started today, and Malherbe is not up to standard anymore, sorry.
Marx has to start. Bongi just not effectiveat all.
We simply have to start with our best side...this strategy of subbing on our best players won't work against the Abs. This is exactly the type of situation where RG would punish loose plays from the Abs.
The chilli prop doing Kwagga work for him
And an neck roll ignored.
Hitting tolerance threshold soon. Better do nothing than watch this insult on the rugby game.
We're on the board at last.
Boks get a penalty in kicking range.
They choose to get on the board.
Faf kicking...lol
Watch us get turned over on the restart...oh my word!
yep Abs get a kickable penalty just outside the Bok 10
Unlucky penalty to concede . . . back to 17 point deficit.
Marx and RG need to play the entire second half...and get Malherbe off to, right now!
Singing the blues at this point.
Nope, no second half, way too poor a show.
When SA rugby start to respect the rugby game, maybe.
Not going to happen today.
Not a lot of creativity in our backline.
Dud actually passing really well today
Boks leave it to the last minute of the first half to play some rugby.
They need a score here.
My stream cut out during the maul...what happened!!!!!?????
I swear they do this on purpose.
Time to bring monster and lomp off,
Thanks for letting us off the hook there.
Dama. Big ask for the second half...
Power is gone.
I’m holding my breath for the second half, first half seems to good to be true.
2nd half...here we go.
Feel like the Boks could come back here but would not be surprised if they get another 15 put past them.
Nope, they keeping the best players off the field for now.
Here come Marx and RG...seriously...why after 3 mninutes?????????????????
Just start them FFS!
RG, win us this game...please bro
Boks defending a scrum on their try line.
Willie is pure class.
Can we stop calling mercurial now that he's our most solid back?
Relieves 50m of pressure easily with a beautiful clearance kick.
Marx applying pressure at ruck time immediately.
Duane comes on for Wiese.
Will be the battle of the reserves soon. I will be very interested in how our scrum goes.
Game immediately looks different.
Marx should be captaining this side and he should be starting.
Faf fluffs a kick and breaks Bok momentum.
10 minutes of not much so far for the Boks
They make progress and then give away half the field's with unforced errors.
There's parity so far but no points.
...so not much at all other than the obvious fact that this should have been the starting side for the Boks.
Yes!
Try Marx.
Boks with at attacking lineout, nicely taken by RG, get a penalty in the ensuing moments and go back to the corner for an attacking lineout, RG collects again...MArx scores off the back of the maul.
Tell me this isn't our fucking starting side.
Fuck yes!!!Q!!!
Conversion over. Nice strike from Cheslin. 20-10.
It's a game now
Don't know why Wiese is in the team. He did nothing all game.
The guys that went early are stuffing up big time.
They all still on the golf course
Boks running and then kicking from their 22... gaining swathes of ground
Come on boks, you can do it
AB linoute of the 50...
They run it...another penalty to the Abs on the 50...they going for the points
Kick is over
23-10
Cheslin!!!
Come on Bokke!
Hope that try sticks , what a piece of play
Fucking Chessie and Willie...
Willie!!! Absolute CLASS!!!
Try scored as Willie drifts a sweet pass to Cheslin who dots down in the corner.
Marginal and TMO had to check it though.
Cheslin almost gets the conversion.
Pretty shocking defending. Just running side to side and no pressure on the inner channels and poor work on the edge.
Lucky bounce for the Abs gives them an attacking lineout just inside the Bok 22
Try Jordan. If the conversion goes then it's pretty much over.
Wow, All Blacks are back. Destroying the boks.
6 year old tactics are getting a bit stake from Rassie.
Can't base your game around Nienaber defense and think you'll win
It's over. Think that's the game now. Boks need 3 scores in 10 minutes.
Game over...Abs score in the corner.
Ref not giving us much at ruck time.
But the Boks were poor today and lost the game in the first 20 minutes of the first half.
Well done Abs.
This could easily have been a bigger hiding.
Libbok on, who's on. Willemse is still there so is Willie
Mapimpi went off for Libbok.
Am on the wing, Willemse at centre.
Fuck libbok, the smallest all blacks carries him like a baby and he looses the ball
All Blacks are playing well, but the Boks look rusty. Too Many basic individual errors.
Mounga scores. Well done All Blacks.
Good night blobs , you got bend over and fucked really hard.
Going to be a really long and painful 2023. Boks to exit in pool stages.
Now we're stuck with Rassie for another two years and Stick and David's is locked in for the next 5 years.
Brainless bok coaches
Black De Allende fluffs a simple assignment and there goes the test.
Kwagga gets a consolation try. 35-20 the final score.
Kwagga, the best Bok and rightful captain.
Kwagga was actually pretty anonymous until his try at the end.
Surely Will Jordan is man of the match. He made the difference in those first 20 minutes.
Kwagga was very good. But we know that you cannot read play, at all.
Second half went as I thought. A lot tighter. But NZ too ruthless and clinical. First 20 blitz. Was the best I’ve seen the abs since the 2015 World Cup.
Glad the ABs are getting their act together. Congrats!! Boks are always great to play, I’m sure they will keep improving in the lead up to the RWC.
BP, good commentary.
