Jason Ryan: All Blacks selectors feeling RGR pinch ahead of third Test

Holland has to play..Vaii should go back to 6. Darry the other lock..Jordan to FB..Narrawa on one wing..Carter the other wing..rest Taylor and Lomax

Reiko..Moorby..Blackadder to the bench with Takeiaho..start Aumua….keep the rest unchanged..

Stick to Super Rugby or another sport then if you hate Scrums, Mauls and Line outs. New Zealander’s can’t handle that this is rugby.

Why Peter Lakai could be the All Blacks' ace up the sleeve for the third Test

Damien or Jordie would not mind stepping up for those very long or either side penalties. If that is allowed. I have only ever watched our National game for 64 yrs. McKenzie does not miss many if any, hope he has had time to keep his skill honed.. I like Ethans work ethic, he was everywhere all of the time & wont be pushed aside. Yes to Reiko on the bench. All while somehow keeping our main players on the field. Thank you all, our All Blacks and Team.

Ant Strachan weighs in on All Blacks’ ‘aimless’ kicking strategy against Boks

What is your read on this AB team JW? Some of their work was very poor. The scrums firmed up in the second half - but too late. The lineouts were erratic and their high ball receipt strategy was at best not well conceived and at worst incoherent. But worst of all, it seemed reactionary - and we really only played full ball in hand rugby in the last 15 when we got desperate.

Ant Strachan weighs in on All Blacks’ ‘aimless’ kicking strategy against Boks

“I couldn’t tell you exactly what our kicking strategy was, because when you go to kick the ball in behind, you normally try and kick to the grass,” the former All Black said on the DSPN Podcast in Cape Town’

Strachan is right to question the strategy.

Springboks vs All Blacks 2T takes: The Barrett-Jordan issue, three big missed chances

Haha you maybe right. All I remember is that Jordan was considered a high ball expert then. When it was only about athleticism, jumping high and being able to grab it unconstested.

I think we have some better 15 options in the wings (figuratively) for a back up but yes that would be my only worry, you’d lose that electric incision dynamic that Dmac or Smith, even Furbank, provides which seems pretty key for this attack.

Jason Ryan weighs in on Boks' late changes and Rassie's 'friendly fire' outburst

I just loved seeing Rassie rattled by Rennie's use of the media. Did you notice the moment when the master communicator realised what he'd done, at the end of his rant? “I apologise if I say things in the wrong way sometimes, I'm not great at that”😂😂😂

As you say, all this only adds to the occasion. The world's best coach and team pulling out all the stops to match their highly effective challengers. Not since the 60 minutes video nasty has he felt the need to go so far beyond the accepted boundaries of rugby sportsmanship, in this case the illegal swapping of front rows.

Pretty vanilla yup, he overlooks that ABs must have put up nearly half a dozen contestables and won them all.

He’s right in that they tried to be too smart and catch the wingers out, when they really should have just passed it wide and forced the wingers up first, or just kicked it out and contested an easy lineout. He doesn’t seem to realise why it looked bad, just that he knows what they did didn’t seem to work.

Springboks hold firm against All Blacks fightback to level series

That’s why I remain fairly optimistic about Test 3, because as you point out, the All Blacks have a lot of things to improve on and they’re not that far off. Rennie will need to take a few more risks with his team selection. If we go with the same forwards three times in a row, I’m afraid the Boks washing machine will wring the All Blacks out.

What Rassie’s risky business says about the Springboks

The only immense thing about Kriel was the distance he missed Carter by with his pathetic tackle attempt as Carter completely skinned him!

Don’t you just crave the Boks being able to actually construct a backline try?

Springboks vs All Blacks 2T takes: The Barrett-Jordan issue, three big missed chances

I agree with much of your comment, but cannot disagree more with the idea that high balls weren't a thing back then.

I also think Jordie might be too good to leave out the starting 15. Personally I'd start him at 15 and if more impact is needed in attack you can move him to 12 and bring on MacKenzie or Love at 15.
