(2022 Rugby Championship - Round 2) - South Africa v New Zealand (13/8/2022)

[Ferrari333SP]

That crowd looks like it's absolutely fired up

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Wasted opportunity for the All Blacks

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Curse of the 6-2....as always

 

[Groundhog]

It's not like Du Toit shot into the line there, the Blacks just passed it right to him.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

I understand the rules, but in the spirit of entertainment and common sense, those free kicks ruin quite a bit. They benefit the defending side too much.

 

[Reiser99]

Surely have to look at offside by NZ there.

 

[Groundhog]

That kick would frustrate the hell out of me if I was an SA fan, they were making good headway

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

if you run a 6-2 split you gotta tell your backs not to dive at knees like that

also PSDT showing you can go up with one arm if you are in a reasonable position to catch the ball.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Scrums are just the worst

 

[Reiser99]

Neither team looking particularly fluent or in control.

 

[Groundhog]

Classy try. New Zealand need to get Clarke and Jordan on the ball as much as possible.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a confidence booster

 

[Ferrari333SP]

The wing is serving NZ so well right now

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Their ball handling appears so much better this game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bit of an underwhelming showing from Dweba after being hyped all week by the media

 

[Groundhog]

New Zealands ruck accuracy v good today too. Anytime a Saffa sniffs at the ball they get blown out very well.

 

[Jer1cho]

All blacks absolutely clinical. This is rugby 101 at its finest. They are dominating every aspect of this test.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

skull on skull before twisting to score the try.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great tackle break, Clarke had him but then... nope!

 

[Jer1cho]

The best 13 in the world does what he does.
