Down by a lot of points. But that second quarter was a lot better than the first quarter when the All Blacks blew us away. Boks have a strong bench. Still in it, if the All Blacks tire and the second half is more like that second quarter. The ABs have given up some pens when the Boks have held possession, so holding the ball is the way back into the game I reckon.

Ref is confusing everyone including the players with his calls. There will surely be “a big decision” coming up that will get us all arguing….

If we keep their forwards running hard for the first 10 minutes of the second half, we're in with a positive result.

Less kicking from Barretts would be good

Still get the sneaky feeling this test will be decided by a few points at most. This is the Boks, after all.

Can we all agree that Wazza isn't an international standard flyhalf?

Why didn't they just take the 3 on offer. Still plenty of time to crawl back.
And why is Faf taking all the kicks now?

I mean the overhead camera clearly showed it going forward....strange one. But Boks deserve it. Better side this second half by far.

We had a very similar pass ruled forward in the lead up to a try in the Supe final. We’re not afraid of the tough calls, see.
