South Africa started like a house on fire but only put 3pts on the board. All Blacks change gears and score 17pts in 5 minutes. Different gravy. World class.
Thought a lot of close calls went the way of the ABs over the Boks again
They were different class in that ten minute spell in the first half though that turned the game.
Absolute joke of a decision not to send off Hodge in the Australia v Fiji game. Stonewall red and not only did Hodge go on to score a try and kick plenty points, he took Fiji's best player out the game.
It's just mad - Ireland get the ball in the 22 and just nudge forward, building pressure and break through. We get into their 22 and try Hollywood passes and they read it all the way. So far ahead of us it's unreal
We have had as much of the ball as they have had. But where they are so good at taking every sniff of a chance and converting it into points, we rush and make mistake after mistake.
