The whole idea is to win. Who won? SA won. Does that. change the point? The point you seem to want to champion is that the Springboks won ugly and didn’t play the beautiful game. I’m quite sure South Africa and the Springboks are quite happy winning regardless. :lol: I actually though ALL their tri...

IKUR01

They built pressure. Created mismatches and scored. Their overall gameplan is to create pressure, force you into errors and use their physicality to dominate and suffocate. Whether they do this by their hard running forwards, strong air game or dominant set piece it doesn't matter. I guarantee Renn...

The whole idea is to win. Who won? SA won. Does that. change the point? It's a nonsensical point, mate. No its not. My initial point was that if we get parity with them at set piece, our game is much better than theirs so we have to get on top of that. Then evryone started harping on about SA being...

IKUR01

You can’t ignore the obvious. Losing by a score doesn’t redeem the fact the opposition just blew your team apart and teabagged them for the whole half. All of that and only managed to win by 1 score when abs left kicks as well on the field. Its worse on SA that the other way around. It screams that...

IKUR01

In that case the All Blacks are limitted too as we cant scrum close enough to gain parity nor stop their set piece. They also created tries through the backs as well so it isn't just forward dominance. Razzle dazzle is great, but winning is better. Running over a piss poor Carter is not creating tr...

They arent though! they are too limited. They live on the back of a dominant scrum and maul. The rest of the game is very very ordinary! That is another reason why I dont think that they have the depth that they think they do. Over the series, the Springboks won practically every high ball contest,...

He is actually such a good player. Im not sure why Rassie doesnt play him more. Hes easily the best 10 in SA. Honekom was good too, so was Hooker. Some good young players coming through

IKUR01

Makes it look close but it really wasn’t. The Boks were good enough to squash All Black opportunities right when they were building into opportunities. They arent though! they are too limited.

He wasn't in the scrum though. One of the Springboks' front row should have received MOTM.

Absolutely. They win games on the back of these boys. Need more credit. Their scrum is like having Lomu on the wing

Five points is close again. Makes it look close but it really wasn’t. The Boks were good enough to squash All Black opportunities right when they were building into opportunities.

Marx, De allande (limited but effective) Louw for best player in bok team. Jordy Barrett I think ab's best by some distance. Jordan other than his 2 late errors was very good. Sititi offered alot as well. Our props are average. Cant get bitched like that! Darry and Vaai were both rubbish. Love was c...

IKUR01

If we sort our scrum we beat the box every time I think. Thats a hell of a big if however. Their game is far too limited to win without set piece dominance.

IKUR01

Boks have 50/60 international standard players. That’s always gonna count in a 4-game series. :lol: wut?! No they don't :lol: You might want to check the French leagues and prem URC etc. he ain’t wrong. He is dead wrong! They have a dominant set piece. Anyone playing behind it would look great.

IKUR01

Need more biff in the squad. Blackadder, Tavatavanawai and Narawa over ALB, Sititi and Carter would be a good start. Is Sititi playing badly? He's not doing too badly i felt. Not playing badly per se, but he is a player that adorns a game rather than your bread and butter. We need some proper pests...

Boks have 50/60 international standard players. That’s always gonna count in a 4-game series. Meh, im not sure thats true. They have a dominant set piece. The rest of their game is fairly average. I think we could put a whole bunch of backs and loose forwards behind that tight 5 and they'd look wor...

IKUR01

How is Moorby an All Black! Comes on fresh, 1st touch he drops it! under zero pressure. Cant tackle. His feet are average. Just fast and workrate

IKUR01

Thats actually pathetic defence.
Time to get rid of Jason Ryan

IKUR01

penalty from this scrum. 3 points

IKUR01

SA front row, PSDT an the 2 midfielders have been great today fo SA.

IKUR01

Darry is seriously average. Hes a donkey. He needs off immediatetly! I think Taukeiaho might need to be introduced as well

IKUR01

Told you. These fucken small wingers that cant handle big centers. Moorby wont make a difference. This is why we shouldve had Narawa or Fehi on the bench for something different. Or tavatavanawai

IKUR01

Not sure if the knockon by the Boks is good thing for us... at this rate its just more penalties You understand we have won all of our own scrums dont you?? Have we? It seems the Boks scrum at any point can cause problems making it a lottery (weighted towards the boks ) When its theirs they can kee...

Ox is great and is getting all the kudos from the commentators but Wilco Louw is the main man doing the damage. Hes a bloody beast

IKUR01

Fuckk sakes Vaai! Hes good for a dumb play or two every game. Needs to ron that out because hes bloody good

IKUR01

This scrum is crucial. In and out please

IKUR01

That was a costly error from Aumua

IKUR01

This ref can get fecked! No offside there at all!!

IKUR01

I dont understand why the game is waiting for Kolisi right now? Its not a serious injury and hes not in the way. PLay on

IKUR01

How fucken good is Will Jordan over the ball!

IKUR01

Auckman wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2026 4:46 pm Surely that was Carter’s turnover FFS. Then an illegal cleanout from 10m

Agreed. This ref has missed a few of our turnovers already. We are quick on the ball but not getting rewarded as yet

IKUR01

Jordy Barrett, Will Jordasn, Kolbe or Ardie Savea is the best player in the world at the minute. Dont care what anyone else says.

IKUR01

Im sick of these small wingers we have. Both Moorby and Carter have both let in tries to hard running midfielders. You have to be special to be a small winger ie Milner-Skudder, Kolbe etc. Get some big bastard back out there Like who? Also i thin that last try was probably Love biting in. Just thos...

Wiese did not much in game 2 and has been dominated in all 3 of his carries so far.

IKUR01

We actually did well to keep the game within 7 with the braindead dumb shit some of our players did today. Eliminate error, catch just half the high balls (this is seriously bad) and we are ok. Need to get rid of Taylor! Aumua is soooo much better. So is Taukeiaho. Parker doesnt do enough for me. Tu...
