TRC2021 - All Blacks v Springboks @ Townsville 25/09

More nostalgia from allblacks.com

Jacobson out with a tummy bug: ASav to 8, Blackadder to 7, Sotutu to bench & I'd imagine bokke to slightly shorter odds with the bookies.

Edit: odds were AB $1.18-$4.85 SA before this news came out, will be interesting to check back in an hour or so & see if there's been any change, likewise the spread which was 12.5 last time I looked.

I don't watch NRL so not familiar with the ground. Have to say it looks like an absolutely awesome stadium.

Those Books look bloody big and fit. Strange how it didn't work out that way against the Wallabies.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Nice, Codie.

Edit: not so nice, George. Thankfully Pollard misses the conv.

Edit the second: possibly not a bad thing, prevention of complacency-wise.

Edit the third: ground tearing up already, could be a right mess in the late game.

Dropping one early, way to guarantee pressure for the rest of the match

Bridge, he's safe under the high ball....."

Did not take long for the counter though.

 

[Tomikin]

Retalick want to make it more obvious

 

[Derpus]

Retallick with a couple of lazy plays

 

[dru]

I definitely like UK refs.

 

[Up the Guts]

Kick chase from both Boks wingers is very good

 

[dru]

Kolisi having a blinder.

 

[KOB1987]

dont think the kiwis are enjoying the Nth Qld humidity. Just wait for the dew!

 

[Up the Guts]

NZ banking on Boks fading at this point

 

[Derpus]

Ah yeah forgot about the new WR (World Rugby) directive, a smoko every 10 minutes.

"The boks will kick a lot so we'll pick George
Bridge, he's safe under the high ball....."

AND again.

 

[Derpus]

Does playing for the Crusaders conceal the fact that Bridge is at best a NPC level player?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

So much for our three fullback strategy
