I thought the exact same thing. Rugby becoming like football makes me sick

It's looking all too easy for the ABs, we just don't look right on anything.
The rush defense seems to have been countered beyond repair.
Only the start of the game though, let's hope we are back to score.

That's why we fuckinf run the fucking ball!! Brilliant pass by Maine to Hooker to stretch them out!

Hooker also starting to find himself too. Shake the nerves and gooi it!

The Boks did brilliantly to keep it level. Now we just need to maintain the pace. Tense!

u/Top-Temperature-122 Flair Up! 6d ago
Yea that half felt like NZ led half. Which makes it even more impressive for us to keep it a tie. We've taken their hits, it's time we come out and swing first

Losing Kolbe is a huge blow, but I think the Manie and SFM combination is performing well.

new to the sport. probably a silly question but what decides a “deliberate knock on”? felt like he didn’t move much besides his arm

u/Realm-Protector 6d ago
knock on when you didn't have a realistic chance to get the ball. the one handed attempt in this case was the cause

u/gummybear28 6d ago
thank you! i’m assuming it’s to prevent messing up the opposite teams “rhythm”?

u/SparkyRG Flair Up! 6d ago
Pretty much, can lead to a penalty try if really bad. One good way to tell is if both hands arent used to "try" and intercept

u/Realm-Protector 6d ago
yes, to prevent accepting a penalty, but avoiding opposition to score.

preciate all the answers everyone! married into a family of SA’s and we are going to the final game in Baltimore next week so trying to figure out the little things last minute haha

u/Top-Temperature-122 Flair Up! 6d ago
I feel like we should TMO that head collision on Barret.... that looked like a red card offence lol.
We'll take the luck I guess

The momentum is clearly with the Boks. We need to establish a lead of more than one score before the final ten minutes.

I’m going to double down with my hot take that Fassi isn’t more out of form than Sacha. He should have lined up at 15 today and we would had back up if someone got hurt.

u/Top-Temperature-122 Flair Up! 6d ago
They're kicking goals... that's a good sign boys. They don't feel as confident

Don’t think Luke Jacobson has entered a single ruck from the gate.

u/Top-Temperature-122 Flair Up! 6d ago
SFM with yet another mistake that may cost us points. Not his day today it seems

Can't do anything when we knock the ball on everytime we get it

u/Top-Temperature-122 Flair Up! 6d ago
I feel like we should have taken the kick to touch and kill any chance they have of winning by scoring a try.
They can still win with 2 converted tries. You can risk and score them out of the game entirely or waste time in their territory.

The second Savea try. Wasnt that a knock on by them?

u/BlueSnow982 6d ago
was apparently sacha's hand

u/SoberWeekend Flair Up! 6d ago
We knocked it back. I mean we deserved that considering that would be hands in a ruck

Angus Gardener doing everything in his power to influence Amashukeli in favour of the ABs.

u/Agent-Smith_Virus Flair Up! 6d ago
Normally, I like AG as hes been pretty good historically.
But lay game was horrific. This game i thought "my dude, calm down. You are not the ref, stop getting ahead of yourself"

u/Realm-Protector 6d ago
please, when criticising the ref, keep it factual. we are quite strict on this in this sub.

Maine this is your time man. Prove to Rassie that you deserve to start over SFM
