Bridge and Jordan have some strike rates.
Jordan is on that early Rokocoko strike rate at the mo. Has to be a starter for sure

Six games is roughly 500 minutes. We’d be set to face all comers after that.

Not a very friendly pass from Perenara, looked like he absolutely belted it behind Blackadder

You are probably correct. It may not have been meant for him.

Our ruck d has been poor. Well keep getting picked apart by running 9's.
Thankfully the saffas 9's only box kick

What’s the take on Lonergan?

Under 100kgs is incredibly lightweight for a test hooker these days.

In the replay Perenaras eyes was looking wide out, he wasn't even making eye contact with Ethan.

Nothing wrong with it. Solid on their feed. Penalties have been putting pressure on Aus feed.

I think NZ will beat SA comfortably but the Saffas wont turn over the ball like that . Too many mistakes from Australia. Hard to believe in the 90s it was their defense was what won them RWCs. Way too loose.

I enjoyed that :nod:

Both Ioanes were excellent. Akira finally living up to his talent, and Reiko looks so much better on the wing.

I thought Beauden had one of his better games in general play, but his goal kicking just isn't up to it. Can't have a performance like that off the tee against the Boks.

That's a pretty humiliating defeat. It's not like the Aussies played badly either, just ragdolled.

If you know the ref is going to ping you every time, why not just keep it stable and not drive so much? would that be better in such a situation? If your hard work will not be rewarded but is likely to be punished?

No way will there be 2 intercepts. Faf's pass to Morne and his own boot is much too fast . Impossible

I thought they played like shit tbh and the score blew out as we scored a lot from intercepts and broken field.

Won't be as easy against the saffas. Hope we don't read too much into that.

I dunno man, it didnt seem like the ref was going to see it our way being a bit more conservative on the scrums might have been better but I agree with hindsight everything is easy
