In fact some luck with bad luck, he made changes forced (BB for Mounga) or unforced to players people have been crying for.

[@caleblim6890]

The fowards finally had parity, meaning Mo’unga had a lot more room to work with, especially with a far stronger breakdown, meaning ruck ball was secure for Smith, and Mo’unga could use quick ball to put his men in good lines to break the Bok defence. Wonderful kicking throughout, tactically sound decisions and most importantly, the offloading skills are back in full flow. Add that to Jordan’s improvement in the air, and Rieko Ioane finally clicking into the right support lines in midfield, and suddenly the backline is surging with threat. Still think Mo’unga wasn’t quite as decisive as he could’ve been, he’d run down blind alleys that would’ve opened up had he the pace or build of a Barrett, but kicking was excellent, and his delayed passes led to good work (except for that Du Toit intercept). Stronger performance from Cane here as well, a significant boost to the ABs ball retention and a sharper back row all-in-all, Frizell putting in the physical work and Savea being Savea as usual. A disappointing cameo from Beauden Barrett following a strong but not game-breaking performance last week; think he’s still not 100% after that fall, and he’ll be disappointed to not make an impact, as Mo’unga has now surely earned a start at 10 for at least the rest of the Rugby Championship.

[@Karpetburnz]

@@henrickvanrooyen8292 In my honest and fair assessment, Mounga did ok.... just ok He did nothing spectacular but didn’t crumble under pressure, his best contribution was his goal kicking. However we need to consider that the forwards played incredibly well, winning the breakdown, their lineouts and collusion’s which in turn gave Mounga a great platform to work with. I’ve noticed a lot of hatred toward beauden lately (particularly from Mounga fans) claiming that the reason we lost the previous games was because of him, yet in reality he was actually playing great rugby, it was just unfortunate for him that he was playing behind a forward pack going backwards

A cracking test match. SA we’re brilliant and it’s a shame they couldn’t win. But NZ played superbly, and the confidence boost this will give makes the future very exciting. Well done from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 !

Agreed, mate. It's not often a MOTM comes from the defeated team, but my pick would have been Lukhanyo Am (and no disrespect to anyone else on the park). He was just 👏 brilliant!!! First name at the moment on my teamsheet of I were selecting a World XV, and this game shows why.

Where's everyone that said Richie Mo'unga isn't a test level 10? 😂 😂That was a terrific game. Havili's best game in black, haven't seen him carry the ball that well, combined with his usual skillset. Ardie was a beast as always and Sam Cane seems to be getting back to his best. Was really happy that he scored a try, would be great for his confidence and good to shut up the naysayers. Special shout out to Am, that bloke is world class.

[@nomad4732]

Which game have you been watching ? Richies performance was average. He was lucky the forward pack was performing very well

[@Reformed1-e1c]

@@nomad4732 Average? Slotted our penalties, converted most of tries just missed one, brilliant on tackle on Pollard, managed our forwards easing the pressure from Smith. Massive on finding territory. Most importantly, very calm under pressure. If BB was on, he puts everyone under pressure including himself. He’s very predictable. Doesn’t pass as much as Richie. Reiko looked good because of Richie’s passing game.

[@garykingdom195]

Mounga was in the squad from the start. But Fozzie didn't trust him. If Beauden wasn't knocked last week, I doubt Fozzie would've picked Mounga. Fozzie doesn't know his best players yet. Been picking players on reputation. Not on form.

[@Karpetburnz]

@@Reformed1-e1c calm down, Mounga did ok at best, his best contribution was his goal kicking, but he almost cost us a try with an intercept pass, the forwards were the real difference and anyone who knows a thing about rugby understands this, they were far more accurate at the breakdown, won their lineouts, won their collusion’s, and carried the ball post contact, Mounga was a passenger most the game.

[@SweetMana24]

The forwards stepped up, I agree BB has been found out and many have studied him and his play. It's up to him how he can counter that and move forward. Everyone studied DC but he still knew how to rise above and still be a world class player and get the results.

[@kylebrookes1037]

Congrats from Scotland. Definitely difficult moments in the game that could of gone the other way but you fought for the win. Hope to see you back it up and improve. Hope to see more from the boks and the other teams too.

[@jdb9388]

was annoying hearing the commentators talking about defending a lead 15 minutes out, in stead they put on 2 tries like a real football team

[@pcmateo42]

What a game. AB getting back in form. this is the rugby we love seeing from AB taking a lot of risks and reaping the reward. never count the ABs out even if they havent been performing well. i rememeber when they couldnt win a WC and people doubted them ever winning one. next thing we know they win a back to back WC. Good on you NZ and Good on the Boks for taking to the ABs every time. awesome rugby.

[@moronicdooshbaggery756]

Shows when SA rolling maul is stiffled, they lose a big chunk of their attack. Am is so dangerous. Also shows if all blacks hold the ball long enough they will score What a game from both teams
