Terrible protection at the ruck although looked like Kolisi was offside. But still no one there to protect halfback.

Poor handling letting some good build up work go to waste.

DHP is having an absolute mare. His decision making and execution has been very poor.

OZ really lifted in the last 5-7 minutes. Far better ball in hand and putting real pressure on the Boks. Beale’s inability to pass to the right on display tonight.

Take away the headline and some of the gratuitous commentary, there’s some decent quotes in that article more important than the journo........

Let the RA media machine loose....

Was a damn good 1st 5 at schoolboy level :) But just as he did at schoolboy level (for OZ) would drop back to fullback where he was more effective.

You get the sense that something is going to give and there will be a big announcement or media ‘tell all’ or controversial leak coming very very soon. And not a Quade facilities to facilitate moment with Deans. Probably bigger.

And we’ve seen that movie before with the big contracts of Hello, Lote and Medicare Matt. All on Hollywood dollars meant they had to be picked regardless of form.

Did the crowd member grab Tui first? On what I saw it looked the other way round after the fan was hurling around some verbal advice to all and sundry.

Lose the game, win the fight....with the loud mouthed fan!

Beale’s ability to find a gap in broken play is his real strength. I agree he does have a tendency to crab and that will be exposed at 1st 5 more so than our wider. Giteau had the same issues when he played 10

Karl T has played provincial rugby at TH. Not sure what the fuss is. The scrum contest will be very good I reckon. From my armchair view the prop replacements seem to be just as important as any of the starting 15 players. Their impact or lack thereof is very noticeable. Karl T I think will be...

Excuse my ignorance, but have any Force players made it?

It’s criminal that Crusader management probably won’t be able to have countless replays of foul/dirty/illegal play from the Lions on the big screen to help rile up the faithful

Do you think the fans will actually come out? What would be their affiliation with these teams. There might be a novelty/interest factor to start out but what will sustain it? Are they feeder teams to the Tahs and Reds? If so their purpose will be very different to the other sides in WSR. That’s...

Codie probably should’ve played the 80 on the weekend

Samu likely to start with Jordan Taufua out for 12 weeks with a broken arm and surgery planned
