I continue to be impressed with Ikitau, very classy player. Gets over the advantage line with his footwork into contact, drifts assuredly in defence and his left boot is a real asset.

Hodge wasn’t composed when he came on. First restart was a shocker, the exit wasn’t good enough after we had momentum out of the 22 and then the missed tackle.

Campbell is the same body shape and style of player as Ben Smith. Just needed to go low, although his winger should have made that first up tackle. I thought a lot of individuals had good games, Tupou and Slipper, all three locks, Valetini, Foketi and Ikitau. The breakdown work and general...

Agree with Mitchell, can’t celebrate getting close. We should have won that.

Tupou, Valetini and Skelton are some nice blokes to have carrying into heavy traffic

First time you’ve watched him but numerous posts criticising him? Hmm.

He’s also a fair bit bigger than someone like Porecki, we needed that on Saturday.

Maybe just leave it alone altogether, no one’s interested in hearing justifications.

The backflip he did in the ruck that saw Wright carded? If you don’t like diving, can’t see how Smith doesn’t get on your nerves.

Maybe they can crack down on Aaron Smith’s theatrics while they’re at it.

At least reading the mental gymnastics to justify the decision by (some) NZ supporters is entertaining.

I knew it was too good to be true when the third XV looked a sure thing to get it done. You just get used to the pain.

When Valetini was binned Williams asked who’s your captain now and Sio put his hand up, so was it initially Valetini?

Very pleasing that we decisively won the territory game in the second half. SA basically shut out till the last ten as Noah, Hodge etc. were able to find grass and force or at least threaten line dropouts. The new 50/22 laws force the back three to defend the sidelines more heavily leaving space...

If not before, now

Has to be the end of Taylor

Clearly a tactic with the new goal line dropout laws, well executed by Noah and co.

Champagne footy

That was so good

That was so Wallabies in the Bledisloe like from the Boks. Opportunity after opportunity not converted, opposition lucky not to have more in the bin, freak play stops a certain try.
