All Blacks v Springboks I: underestimating a wild animal

[Spy]

FT 41-13. Good effort all in all. Final half hour was all NZ.

[jared_7]

Championship table looking pretty damning.

[scuzzaman]

Another masterclass.

As much as the players deserve a lot of credit, the coaching team have done an incredible job with this side, after losing some of the greatest players of all time, an absolute wealth of experience, and just rolling all before them.

What else can you say?

[Spy]

Funny old game going on in Perth. Wallabies carved out 3 early tries, but since then it's been mostly Argentina. Wallabies defence has been good, but perhaps just looking a bit ragged late in the half. Puma scrum way on top, if it matters. HT 21-6.

We'll be having this back now, Australia. Thanks for looking after it for a year.

Fill yer boots, son.

Or you could be a legend and link to a full vid I can watch while killing 4 hours in the vile United lounge at Houston airport.

Ha. So much for 4 hours. Someone tried dying on the plane so we had to chuck a u-turn, spend an hour on the Tarmac in Tahiti, and got to Houston 5 hours late. So I'm here over night at the airport hotel, waiting at the bar for (a) confirmation of my flight tomorrow, and (b) a fucking hotel room because apparently a 9 hour flight from Tahiti isn't long enough to book me a room. At least the IPA is good.

Oh, and I see I've just missed the highlights on SkyGo. Awesome.

Hope you took the chance to congratulate John on the awesome job he's doing in turning NZ into an off shore tax haven for the world's elite.

So the Springboks are 5 points down going into half time. They get a scrum. Win it and the halfback lamely kicks it out. Mate you're 5 points down. Play the game and try for points. No ambition or just a serious lack of brains.

[cashead]

Came across this by chance, it's a fairly interesting look at the scrums from the game, and why the Boks struggled in that department. It's been a while since I saw a Boks scrum dominated to that degree.

[rowan]

Boks are set for an 'Indaba' to address their current poor form:

JOHANNESBURG: The South African Rugby Union are now also worried about the state of Springbok rugby.

That much is clear following the announcement late yesterday afternoon of confirmation of a coaching indaba, scheduled to take place next month.


The Boks’ poor performances this season, starting with their lukewarm effort against Ireland in June and their equally disappointing showing in the Rugby Championship, have forced the rugby bosses to call a gathering to get to the bottom of the current state of South African Rugby.

Also set for discussion at the indaba will be the matter of the overseas-based players and whether they should or shouldn’t be considered for the national team. Coetzee is still allowed to pick players from overseas-based clubs, but the world’s leading team, New Zealand, ban their players from playing for the All Blacks unless they play within their country’s borders.

The gathering, set to take place in Cape Town, between October 19 and 21, will consist of the national coaches, SA Rugby’s rugby department and high performance committee, all the Super Rugby franchise coaches and conditioning coaches, as well as a number of invited rugby specialists.

Is an indaba the same sort of thing as a hui?

Kind of. Also known to the Native Americans as a powwow.

Actually he is currently using the UN General Assembly as a platform to negotiate trade deals with the house of Saud and push for western hegemony via the TPP while simultaneously chiding the UN for not doing enough for "peace in the Middle East".

He is such a thundercunt.
