That's crazy that it wasn't advantage over.

How did an Aussie make the best idea in the last 30 years of rugby (full SA tour) about them?

Hope the Bledisloe games this year are crackers, watching both teams D certainly points towards high scoring games.

Toro

Esterhuizen is a beast, surprised he isn't starting. He is a loose forward and backline replacement at this stage. Absolutely. He carved us up at Twickenham and was the best Bok on the park in the loss to the Aussies this year. There are clearly parts of his D maybe that I'm missing but a guy that ...

Toro

That was exactly 1 frame before he caught the ball, but I've gone ahead 2 frames. https://64.media.tumblr.com/b94f29d7180d1eacbb982c44e56754b5/fa01519be33b5cc4-36/s540x810/9ddfd1295470bea1580be2bfb5c93add5f5f1b83.pnj 2 more frames https://64.media.tumblr.com/71bb9b5e244863cc18ec0ea9d7101d86/fa01519...

I think it's a stretch to say Barrett deliberately went to kick someone, in the face or otherwise, but we've removed guessing intent from pretty much every incident. If your actions are reckless beyond what any reasonable player would expect then you're playing roulette. I think red was a bit harsh...

Toro

He clearly loses his balance backwards which is why raised knee becomes raised boot. Look at the angle of his torso when he's making the catch, his torso is at about 40 degrees and his centre of gravity is completely off. It's also why he falls on his arse when he lands. I can see the argument that...

Toro

I still think the Jordie one was complete bullshit. He didn't lead with the foot he fell backwards and his foot came up as a natural reaction. Complete accident and far less preventable than someone leading with the knee. Also, I've just noticed that Koroibete holds the top of his head immediately ...

Toro

Well that caught me by surprise, I saw the team on on socials and thought it was a piss take. Not because of the players but it just seemed like an obscene amount of changes. Exciting looking backline but one we can score a lot of points against. Libbok an interesting call off the bench, and back to...

Toro

Nah just unfortunate, but any ref has the right to consider this action dangerous. It's widely accepted that the player attacking the ball which is coming towards him/her owns the right to jump knees first, and often coached as a form of self protection and to discourage the tackler or challenger t...

Get Leroy Carter in there, all the young bolters are coming up trumps so far. His energy would be awesome against the Boks.

Toro

Steve Hansen, Ian Foster and now Scott Robertson, as well as their assistants, have all failed to produce high performing backlines with BB at 10. Leon Macdonald and Vern Cotter have also failed at SR level. Perhaps it's a coaching issue, but it may also be that BB just lacks the capacity to be an ...

Toro

Watch the Springbok response in Wellington. We all know what's coming. Yeah we don't have the Eden Park record to get up for, they'll need to start with the same intensity. I'm not sure the Boks will bring a whole lot more although if the weather is better (highly unlikely) then handling may be bet...

Toro

By keeping all the same players I think they'll be really stretching a 7-1 split and not sure they have the backs right now to support that but they'll be there in tight games.

They are quite dependent on scrum dominance right now.

When I was reffing in NZ in my first season I had Preston as OBU captain in quite a few games and I'm so happy for him, but man that was a quick rise. I was wondering all these years when he might catch a break with the Lions, then 'bang' Saders, 'bang' 4 injuries and coming on agains the Bokke. :sh...

Toro

Positives, Parker was great, a top find. D-mac and Christie both had very good games, although Christie is a bit one dimensional at times. Forwards did everything well except scrum. Ardie was huge as usual. Sititi had some nice touches. Negatives. High balls, scrums. But overall, what a test match ...

Toro

Far from perfect, but that's a character building win for the All Blacks with all the injuries. And a rocket up the scrums arse.

Toro

f'ck me that was intense. Man they came at us in the end, great game Bokke fans, record stands. Wellington will be a battle and a half. :thumbup: Wellington is always good for us unlike Eden park :lol: You and every other international team :frown: :| The noise when SA were attacking today was amaz...

Toro

Still, not sure what's worse, 57-0 or getting completely walked off our own scrum ball.

Need to fix that for next week, one thing that kept the saffers in that game I thought.

that was a high tackle?

All about territory now.

Good counter, thought they fortunate not to get penalised as Ardie has originally fallen in the wrong place.

Grandpa wrote: ↑Sat Sep 06, 2025 9:30 am Isn't the flying wedge illegal?

That try should be disallowed surely?

Allowed one pre latch, looked fine I thought.

Toro

Didn't need that, the scrum was nuts.

Toro

ABs need one more score to close this out.

Do you try Preston now? Yikes, Christie at worst is a very active defender and jackler. Preston's kicking would be great but he'd be a worry.

DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Sat Sep 06, 2025 9:18 am That's a panic penalty from ptsd.

Very silly, no need to gift 3 there.

Shame he had to go off... was superb again tonight...

HIA or gone?

Toro

Miles forward from Christie I thought.

Toro

Williams should've been penalised, grabbed that ball once on the ground.

You reckon? I think they are getting horrible ball due to crap delivery from the redhead and that makes them anonymous

Handling is way more difficult than it looks I think. Boks can't move the ball at all.

elcamino wrote: ↑Sat Sep 06, 2025 9:04 am I've been really impressed with Parkers close to the ruck defence - just what a balanced loose combo needs. Hope Ardie can have some more time with ball in hand in the second half

Reminds me of Liam Squire, I love the look of the loosies we have on.

Yeah, pretty clear but it was a good read and steal, would call that at school boy level but see why they let it go.

Toro

Question for refs, Berry said twice I think, that he couldn’t award a jackal penalty because there were the jackalers teammates on the ground in front of the jackaler. I may have heard wrong, is this right? Once was when Ardie got his hands on the ball at the end of the game and I thought he should...

Springboks lost in Argentina last year.. their only loss all season... Yeah just in the context of a loss it's no biggie, but it was the nature of that sh-t show. Don't wanna go on about it, they can take all the credit for flipping that game with the cross field kick, it was beautifully planned an...
