So every game is going to turn into a post match forensic examination of every play.

Well done the men in black. Nice to see that they've at least thought about the rush defence. If they continue with the bowing and general charm offensive with the crowd's this tournament may well end up looking like home series for NZ.

Magnificent test. Ireland was brilliant. Great game plan and well executed. Crowd as it always seems to be was amazing. Will be interesting to see if the Irish can sustain this up to and through the world cup.

Im a kiwi on this forum and struggled to get motivated to watch Dan.

Not a great night for the Smiley Barrett stable.

Congrats Bok fans your blokes were fantastic and kudos for the win despite having to play against 16. Perfect game plan to interfere with the NZ up tempo game plan. During the second half with the mental penalty count I mentioned to a mate that the Boks must feel like the AB's did in the...

UPDATE: All Blacks midfielder @SonnyBWilliams has been withdrawn from this weekend’s Freedom Cup Test against South Africa as he has been unwell this week. He has been replaced on the bench by Jack Goodhue Must be the prospect of actually having to play.

Congrats Wobs fans that will stop the drum beats for the coaches head for a week or two. Boks fans that was one that got away.

Argentina is up big against SA. But they have stopped playing and are attempting to protect their lead. That might be a bad idea. Bokke are lifting.

Forward pass?

Geez Beale. You should be embarrassed by that.

Geez there’s playing advantage and there’s whatever Barnes just did.

Beautiful try saving tackle foley

Time for the retallick is a genius observation

The extra week seems to have helped them. I realise the score is worse but the aussies looked much more organised and the skill level was much closer to nz.

45-17 final score to nz

Try Australia. The replacement prop rumbled over.
