How the All Blacks reacted to their second straight loss in South Africa | The Rugby Championship

[@kainoizking]

Honestly, South Africa just have one of those generational teams with literally one of the greatest rugby coaches to ever live. No shame in going down the way we did. If we have to lose a few to really find out who this team is and buy into Razors vision, I’m honestly fine with that.

[@caybooysen]

for us to even sniff of a double win against NZ let alone four in a row is something the Bok team is gonna take a lot of pride in. Cus it’s not been done in a long time. so imo the Boks wanted that win a lot more today and the ABs showed their brilliance but just fell a bit short. Still one of the greatest tests to have even been played.

[@barrywhite72]

You guys summed it up perfectly, with tiniest margins . Us (the bokke) are generational. We should just sit back and appreciate it. Like all good things the tides will change at some stage. Having said that, our new boys are looking even more inspiring

[@caybooysen]

@@barrywhite72 only thing i hate is idk how long this winning could go on for cus when you know the competition that’s out there…it’s scary. but boks defs have the squads to at least try and achieve being number one for three times in a row. if not, this squad will still be one that we speak of for ages to come. like that 95 team.

[@beejallison8283]

Yup for sure I’m actually optimistic about us holding our own against anybody and there is heaps of talent around NZ … do think now we have it a go against awesome Boks team time to be bit more brave with bench getting them on and selections in general newbies played so well others may do same

Razor inherited a team that's still at the beginning of its rebuilding phase. Give him some time, the All Blacks will be back. And remember that the Springboks went through hell (2016-2017) to get to where they are today. It takes hard work, honesty from the players/coaching team, and a lot of self-belief.

thats such a bullshit. He's selected Foster team... He took off the one winger who did well and could contest high kicks for Reese.. He cannot seem to address the teams discipline .

[@Sam-c5k8r]

Na he didn’t inherit the team, he took it - maybe thats Marks fault. First comment about not taking opportunities and when he’s asked to expand he claims a couple missed kicks. Then he even falls back to that on his second comment. As if that was the reason, and nothing else. Poor man blames a couple of errors instead of accepting his own. Who doesn’t have enough faith to put his bench on. Listen to other countries speak and they actually have answers

[@jameswyatt4443]

Utter BS, he’s playing the same experienced All Blacks team from the last few years. And 2016-17 resulted in the Boks firing their coach and getting Rassie. It’s not the same thing at all.

NZ will always be a contender for the top spot, and we need to respect them for that.

[@dmazingi]

The signs were definitely there from 2016 then gatland came with a purpose built game plan in 2017 and the ABs couldn't adapt. I think it's terrible for a member of the NZ media to ask about what the public's response will be. If ANYONE knows what it will be it's the players they know the responsibility and they know what the blowback will be. And honestly the major arbiter of that response is the press themselves, who magnify it by 100.

Saying you have lost a few experienced players and were still "within a chance" simply doesnt cut it.

Great comment, totally agree 🖤

[@DougieFrank]

@@joshhudson7413 I agree. But its not unique to NZ and should not be used as an excuse / reason when every other country is in a similar postion. This holds true for the lucky 1 point win against a 2nd rate England side, and the loss to Argintina at home. And while SA have kept Razzie as their head coach, they have a new coaching team, support staff and loads of new players too. I believe that the NZ players are just as skilled and talented as the SA players, and are certainly capable of beating SA, and it was inferior coaching and tactics that let us down. And while I expect NZ will improve, other teams will also improve, so expect SA and Argintina etc to get even stronger than they are now.

It was so good to see the scrum build through the game to the point of getting over the bokke pack the lineout is improving fast Vaai Darry Lord and Scotty are going to be an absolute force in the future. The breakdown was amazing, turning things around massively from last weekend. Hopefully the backlash that spoiled Fossie and Sammys time doesnt repeat itself.

Great test huge respect to ab's very proud of result could have gone either way. awesome

[@UlrichHoltzhausen]

Give the guy a break. Geez.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

Ian Foster wasn't exactly given a break...

[@seannorris7993]

As a Saffer, I honestly don’t know why these guys are getting grilled. They played fantastically but are just up against a very good side. Razor has the cattle, give him a chance. If this was a game against any other side except maybe Ireland they would have won!

[@craigmorgan4676]

Welcome to the abs they not used to losing ,CERTAINLY not 2 games in a row!That deserves a grilling, especially when the abs think they the best nation to play rugby!😬😬😬💀💀🥶🥶🥶🤝🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Great game AB. All the best. From SA

[@CalTheKiwi1]

This show is a better show than NZ Sky TV’s ‘The Breakdown’.

[@klagoshaya5517]

4th straight loss. But the AB’s are so close, no disgrace in how they play they are brilliant and it’s just small moments and a little game management.

[@Sino_Tee]

I honestly think the ABs are a better team than us. We always look to be struggling for the better part of these games, even in the RWC last year England almost beat us. I genuinely don't know how we keep winning these matches. I think it's just our time. Well done to the ABs, they are a legendary team.

[@markrutherford6010]

The All Blacks made far too many mistakes.The penalty count was terrible for the All Blacks. McKenzie cracks under pressure.Will Jordan is winger not a fullback. Harry Plummer needs to get a start against Australia.We can’t put all our hopes on McKenzie. Plummer needs to get some test minutes.Perenara was terrible.Wallace Sititi played really well.

[@eckardberry636]

As a Saffa I just want to say shame on those for giving coach Robertson a hard time. Someone has to win and someone has to loose, leave the man alone, he is doing a good job, the result will come.

[@South_Affy]

Rebuilding stage… If you ask me these guys are going to come back hard down the line.

[@kristian762]

Razor is almost as feisty as Eddie in these pressers 😂🍻

[@WalterWhite-sm2dr]

The the URC making us produce more depth and clutch players laying in Japan .. depth is massive .. school kids watching this team means a super new generation of rugby players being born ..

[@alfwalker5698]

Right now we are not good enough to beat the number one team. I think most AB fans would recognise that we lost a lot of special players at the end of last season and we're at the start of a new development cycle - it will take time and games for us to get back to the top.

[@geoffreysmith49]

We pkay Oz for the wooden spoon. The Argies and SAs play their club footy in europe, We play each other and the Aussies. The bokke are the best side in the world by some margin. We are not. Something needs to change. The NPC is high speed, high skills playing in empty stadiums.

[@davidshekleton9908]

I think a big thing is including players from overseas. We call it the professional era yet. New Zealand Australia and used to be South Africa. Wouldn't accept players from overseas. Can you imagine football teams declined to use their overseas players in their international matches. You got to move forward and start letting players become better by playing elsewhere. Even attracting overseas players to our local leagues

[@Stephen-bq4nq]

​​​​@@davidshekleton9908we let our all blacks go over seas we will gut our super rugby teams and that has consequences for the quality of the teams and financially. Crowds will reduce without the all blacks stars in there and the TV networks won't want to pay as much to buy the rights to show the games on their platform.

[@zlatkozlatko3923]

NZ rugby union with their arrogance and mistreating chased SA to Europe. This is result. Super Rugby was completely different level from what they are playing now. Look whats going on with Ausies, no one watch them there.

[@barrywhite72]

[@francoiscoetzer9920]

The passion between these two rugby power house nations are phenomenal. ABs are forced to lift their development, pipeline and gameplans; by South Africa. This keeps international rugby very intriguing.

[@GrantPitkethley]

He looks scared

[@imtiazmohamed9398]

Pumas and bokke will be the future champs

[@ReinhardtJonkYT]

2 great teams match was poor the ref tried to keep New Zealand in the game and fail

[@jack10lewis78]

The All Blacks have run South Africa very close. South Africa have so much experience and players who are at their peak. New Zealand have plenty of young players and I get the feeling Razor is building something very special in readiness for the next World Cup. How many of the current springbok squad will be around for the World Cup?

[@petes9524]

Saffa rugby depth makes NZ's look like a paddling pool.😄

[@aaronporima3735]

Let’s be honest as a Kiwi and a staunch All Black supporter since the New Zealand Rugby board has banned players from representing their country if they choose to play overseas our quality of rugby in the Black jersey has suffered just my opinion

[@Aesyrbane]

ABs disrupted us almost all game but again, our bench just flips the momentum every time. If you wanna beat the Boks you have to at minimum, match our bench.

[@lht1523]

Agreed. We defended your lineout maul well until Lomax yellow card. I thought our scrum wasn’t too bad either. But in the end the Boks were too much. You guys have one hell of a team over there 🫡

[@Glenis-qc1hz]

very young side that for the most was in the game. defensive pressure, score pressure coupled with expectations lead to missed opportunities.From here in wa once retallick, whitelock and frizzel left we knew it would take a couple of years to rebuild the forwards.lord, derry, sititis, vaaí, lomax, aumua, newell, jacobson,,,blackadder and finau are young green or relatively low in test experince. keep this group together and by the next world cup here in australia they will be and absolute beast. man we didn,t win a world cup between 1998 and 2011.another thought is why didn't the springboks come to nz this. we 2 test in south africa last year. it may not have alter the result but i thought we have turn about. all the best for this group of allblacks. and you coaches support and stick with them because dam you guys don't have that much international either. finally congratulations to the springboks, well defended.

[@Nkanyiso131]

Now we want them to put the record on the line when we travel to NZ next season - let’s see if the are bold enough to play us at Eden Park

What do you want? For them to wear yellow 😂

[@silverlining682]

[@cyndigooch1162]

They're obviously wearing the NZ sports team's colours and they look smart as! Of course, you're entitled to your opinion though. 😁

[@warreng4438]

Well played All Blacks...like every test between our teams it was a real battle right to the end, don't be too hard on yourself and please beat everyone in November.

[@EugeneHuman-kl1vc]

You can only do what you do. It's all about getting the cohesion right, the defense and attack patterns. There is also some luck factor involved. Both Teams SA and NZ still finding their right patterns and styles. It will get better soon.

[@SekuruJohan]

Honestly as it stands, if the games were in NZ it could have been the other way around. Such close margins.

[@barrywhite72]

World rugby is closer than ever, i dont expect the sprigboks to win anything, but think they have the team to do so. And every team in the world will rightly feel the same. The old days are gone, we not ganna see a 1 team dominance like in the past

[@icefarrow7959]

Haha, nonsense. Beauden's been in poor form since the England tour. As soon as he came on, the kicking game became less effective and downright sloppy at times.

[@NickSchoonwinkel]

The All Blacks coach and their team captain are speechless and stunned after the test. It reminds me of Allister Coetzee after he messed up the Springboks team.

[@seloaneronald2462]

Am glad we played 2 top side on our footsteps and no one managed to unseat us from top 1. Ireland were lucky in 2nd test with 2 drop goals with less than 9 minutes for the game to end. Top 2 teams got beaten now the best team in the world debate is settled no complain why SA won the world cup and are the best in the world let them accept it with gratitude now.
