Exactly. Damn it's killing us. Each time we get real go forward the All blacks were scrambling and we are just a few phases away from scoring then ball is lost forward or we get isolated. That was the most frustrating part of the entire game for me.

Moodie, Fassie and Willaims all on the field at the same time.... Thought we wanted less mistakes👀
 
Moodie had a good game? Good under the high ball and defended well. Williams is our best 9. Fassi is obviously better than Willie.

Is Williams better than Reinach? honest question as i dont watch that much but when Cobus came on he seemed to impact the game more

Reinach is way better. Williams is not to clever.

Yes. Cobus did have a good game but I still prefer him as impact sub.

Williams is horrible, zero grey matter found wanting every time.

All talent, zero brains is fine at lower lvls, but issues at highest lvls, test rugby etc. Smart teams been picking him and Libbok apart for 2 seasons now, URC etc, see teams sizing them up easy.

Reinach is more of a running scrum half and kicks well

Williams is probably the best box kicker nr9 right now in the world. Doesn't offer much more than that

Depends on the game plan
 
Just checking in to see the blokes dis the boks rather than be caught pouting over the loss. It’s ok okes, teams loose it’s why it’s called a game . You don’t have to dis your own. No judgement.
 
Willie is done imho. Rassie should start backing Fassi or use someone else. Pollard was below average in the game but most times he is reliable. Marx, PSDT, Eben & Kolisi were mainly anonymous in the game. Grant was okish but he needs to use the grey matter more than just depend on skill & speed. Lineouts needs to be sorted out. this has been a problem since the June tests. The high error rate and basic avoidable mistakes must come down. You can't keep releasing pressure on the opposing team. I think the youngsters like Sasha, Jan-Hendrik and Hooker must get more game time.

A team that are back to back World champions, B & I Lions series winners and current Rugby championship title holders are expected to beat all comers. Yes, good teams do lose. But this is not the All Blacks of 2010-2017. We did have a great chance of beating them, even in NZ and at Eden Park. It was the poor standard of rugby that was played by us that caused the loss. As we praise them when they win, so we are allowed to criticize when they lose.
