[2019 Rugby Championship] Round 2: New Zealand vs. South Africa (27/07/2019)

[Bada-Bing!]

It really couldn't have been closer to the touchline. They showed a front on angle and he passed inside to Goodhue just in time.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kolbe is everywhere ATM. Unreal player.

 

[bushytop]

Yeah he's the only other guy who's really in the conversation but last week Matera went missing whereas PSDT's been SA's best player so far this RC.

Fair comment... expecting big things from both this World Cup though.

 

[bushytop]

Kolbe is everywhere ATM. Unreal player.

Always knew about him in possession but him showing up so well in defence today has been a real eye-opener.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not having Reinach on the bench could cost RSA here

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Marx is such a question mark to me. It's gonna be real hard to win a World Cup if you are too scared to throw more than 5m at a line out. The difference between all black and springbok line outs are massive.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And having BB as kicker for ABs could cost them the World cup.

 

[TommiG88]

World Cup ending injury?

 

[smartcooky]

That looks like a broken arm!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yeah not looking good for Brodie.

 

[BobbyM]

It does. Maybe back for late group stages?

 

[smartcooky]

And having BB as kicker for ABs could cost them the World cup.

I can't understand why Mo'unga isn't taking the kicks at goal... he is a much better goalkicker!

 

[BobbyM]

I love watching Dane Coles play rugby. He's so dynamic in the loose

 

[bushytop]

I can't understand why Mo'unga isn't taking the kicks at goal... he is a much better goalkicker!

I think it's because Beau will be first choice 10 in the 'big' games and Shag is hoping his confidence off the tea would be built up today and not decreased... went the other way though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Knock on and penalty missed, and then penalty the other way instead

Big fan of TJ but Aaron Smith has definitely added speed and shape to the AB black line.

 

[BobbyM]

Knock on and penalty missed, and then penalty the other way instead

#JustAllBlacksThings

Like that tackle without the ball?

 

[Gavin]

Knock on and penalty missed, and then penalty the other way instead

#JustAllBlacksThings

When that's clearly show in the replays, how can it not be brought back?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Big fan of TJ but Aaron Smith has definitely added speed and shape to the AB black line.

Yeah I think TJ was picked to start because Faf has outplayed Smith the last couple of times they've gone head to head. And now Faf is off Smith can play his game better.

Great scrum Boks.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

If that's a try Kolbe should get MOTM.
