[2018 Rugby Championship] Round 6: South Africa v New Zealand (06/10/2018)

[All Black]

Etzebeth gives away two straight penalties and Barrett gets us on the board 3-6 to the Boks

 

[All Black]

Marx with a crucial steal a metre out from their own line. Huge play and relief for the Boks. No ordinary hooker is Marx.

Min 26, score is 6-3. This is not what i expected at all.
I expected the ABs to come out hyper-aggressive, trying to prove a point. Never expected RSA to have more possession and territory in the first 1/4 of the game. Might not have any impact on the score but again, not what i expected.

Min 27: in what parallel universe is that not a knock on? Lucky it was a penalty after that.

This is exactly what I expected, as you can read on my posts earlier in this thread. This is actually how we get good is these tough games.

Boks handling errors creepin up on them. Barrett ties it up at 6 all.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Now he takes a drop goal? BB's taking the ****.

 

[All Black]

Awesome first half. Boks won that half IMO despite the scoreline.

 

[Bean]

Well, they tried but have once again come up short. 6-6 will not cut it at half time. All Blacks by 30.

30 points...geez I don't know, that is a big ask. Even if we score back to back tries in quick session, which usually makes other teams cave in, I think the Boks will stay with us or vice versa.

It'd be nice to get more ball but at the moment, we've sucked when we have had it. Also the Boks defence making it hard for us as well.

Cane going off so we lost a ball winner.

Kriel has plenty of flaws but he can f***ing run

 

[All Black]

What a try. Great phase after phase by the Boks and Kriel in. 13-6 Boks

Yep, just looking on the replay, he was pretty lucky to get both defenders going at him at once and the defenders were just left in the dust as they got in each others way.

no replay of the shepherd?

thats why i wanted the replay

Nah there was none. Commentary didnt mention one either.

 

[All Black]

All Blacks going wide without earning the right, probably hoping for someone to bust, get penalised in the end and Pollard drills it for 16-6

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Did he think the cameraman was a player? Shocking pass

 

[All Black]

Wow funny pass from Faf lol. Lucky though as SBW misses a tackle and we almost cop another try

 

[All Black]

The power of Kolisi and goes straight through for a beaut. 23-6 to the Boks!!
