my nerves … it may be good for the entertainment, but I would have prefered the Boks pushing a bit harder in the 2nd half to pocket the game earlier …

Totally agree. We will have to up our game going into the third test. The subs didn't have an impact. Concerning is we couldn't get through in the second half.

Gardener seems increasingly less able to manage these big occassions.


It’s nerve wracking with him with the whistle.

ABs wasting time again.

Momentum with Boks - ABs still not playing their game. AB forward bench impact could be big as much more mobile than starting unit.

Going route one is working for the boks.


Need to be wide awake - they’re scoring too easily.


Too many missed tackles one on one.


This will be a close finish.

The Boks are much more clinical than last week. They’ve scored almost every time they’ve entered the 22.

DR’s conservative selections for this second Test aren’t paying off. Taylor and Lomax are still struggling badly. The All Blacks won’t win this match. It’ll be 1–1. Half-time: Boks 24–14.

Why is the TMO actively looking for airtime.


Talk about time wasting.

Unfortunately, I feel like the boks lose this one.


I’m concerned that the Boks are not handling the pressure of winning these home games.


And the ABs, really, are not expected to win AND showed last week how much the mental game has evolved under Rennie, Enoka and Henry.


Of course I hope I’m wrong. I usually am. 🤞

Henrik 5 hours ago

at halftime it looks ok, still a bit concerned … the AB’s super fast pace and handling is a constant danger
