6. Simon Parker (2)
7. Ardie Savea (100) Vanished. Greatest Ever Dude is smaller than the Bok 2nd 5 that came off their bench.
8. Wallace Sititi (12) Vanished. poor bugger. Barely played Soup Rugby and just biffed in there like he'll know what to do for the All Blacks. Also smaller than the Bok 2nd 5 that came off their bench.

10. Beauden Barrett (139) IT'S OVER. ffs what could have been with Harry Plummer......
11. Leroy Carter * was so jarring seeing an AB back use an actual sidestep to beat his man. A bold new strategy!
12. Jordie Barrett (74) ffs if he can't field a high ball and can't make a break and can't kick long any more just fuck him off to the bench. Razor will be loyal.......... right up to the point where it is HIS job on the line after these tenured dinguses let him down with yet another "bad day at the office"
15. Damian McKenzie (67) poor little bugger. Not exactly Cheslin Kolbe is he.....

Backs are SCREAMING out for Roigard to come back.

Just finished watching this. Boks had no reserves left and finished stronger. I’ve never seen the ABs effort drop off at the end of a game like that. The scrum and lineout dominance plus winning the majority of the contest able kicks was the key factor in the win I thought.

The Stan kiwi commentators have been very fair. Marshall Mils Wilson Reid all complementary of the boks.

The reffing seemed pretty even.

Im away this weekend and am going to have to watch the replay to see if what I’m reading here really happened. It seems unfathomable to me that an All Black team could be so comprehensively beaten by a Bok team that IMHO has crested the hill.

I’ve never seen an All Black team shit the bed so spectacularly.
Confidence sapping for the team, and it will be hard to pick themselves up from, after a record loss of that magnitude.
Lots of weaknesses on display for the wallabies to exploit, and I’m bracing myself for the Eden park record to end, and the expected outrage on social media.
Scott Barrett’s typically bland and uninspiring post match interview was in keeping with his teams performance.

Nope ABs are definitely winning at Eden Park

The cake tin seems to be cursed for NZ. I think since 2017 they've lost 5 and drawn 2 there. It's the reverse eden park.

won 3 of their last 10

Wellington started as a property scam and only became the capital so that everyone would be equally unhappy. I'm surprised it's taken this long for the Wellington curse to seep into the All Blacks.
