Question/Observation here - I'm an American who moved to New Zealand a couple years ago. I grew up watching the NFL and still follow it really closely. I got into rugby a few years ago and absolutely adore the sport. There's a lot of talk in the rugby media about "ball in play time" and how increasing that is believed to be a better viewing experience. However the NFL always has a ton of viewership with almost no "ball in play" time, and I think a lot of it is down to the quality of the broadcast. While I think the commentators here in NZ for rugby are generally great, is there more that can be done as set pieces are being set up to show off real-time stats/season stats, highlight high impact plays that maybe aren't obvious to a casual viewer, etc? Those are the things the NFL does really well between plays to keep viewers engaged. Love the show, cheers!

You sir, are an absolute saint. Thank you for that comment. All these people talking about "making the game more exciting" or "spectator friendly" should go watch something like rugby league or lacrosse. The NFL is probably the highest drawing sport in the world in terms of revenue. Guess what? It's stop start. Cricket is the second biggest spectator sport on earth and you have a stop start after every ball. Association football is by far the biggest sport on earth AND YOU GET ZERO-ZERO SCORELINES. Can I nominate you for a place on the world rugby board? You'll have my vote and probably everyone in South Africa.

I honestly think Ireland should have won that game if not for a few errors, 2 denied tries. James Lowe had a rollercoaster. Great try ruled out, unlucky ball put inside that SA then score from, touches the ball and grounds it from the kick off, which results in a pushover scrum try, rather than them having a scrum on halfway. What i think hasnt been highlighted about NZ v England was the discipline. No yellows at all, where as there we're one a piece in both the Aus v Wales and SA v Ire games.

I think that one of the biggest reasons the AB's are failing to beat rush defences is around the number 10 and 12 combinations. Number 10's, recent AB's 10's have beeen fullbacks who are moving to number 10. This is why Beauden B, struggled with rush defence. Fullbacks, are used to have a litlle bit more time and space. Natural 10's were Carter, Cruden, Lima. Mounga was affected by what was happeing at 12. Remembr D Carter, always used to say they when he was in trouble he woud just pass the ball to Ma'a Nonu. Number 12's: Nonu used to break the line whenever he had the ball in hand. 90% of the time he would beat the first defender with power, step and speed. It used to take on average 2 to 3 defenders to deal with 1 Ma'a Nonu break, so the defences had no time to rush out, they were always on the back foot. Jodie is another 12 who was a fullback, like Havilli. Jodie can be a bit static and indecisive, hence the last worldcup final Peter-Steph du Toit targerted him and was sucessful at all times. AB's badly need a 12 who is quick and can break the gain line all the time, like Aki has been doing for 'Ireland'. This will help DMac a lot as a 10.

Good on you guys, another quality discussion.

ABs midfield, hear me out. Rieko -12 ALB/Proctor - 13 Like many - I have to agree that centre isn't Rieko's best position, but in saying that I feel he should move in one position. 12 allows him to use his speed and power to punch through over the gain line crash and bash style like Nonu used to do. He could potentially offload to his 13 who can then distribute to back 3. ALB style of play is complementary to Rieko, in that ALB isn't a crash and bash style player, he has a better grasp of organising backline attack/defense lines, better distributor to wingers. Proctor - Similar style of play as ALB. Both ALB & Proctor are like the Conrad Smith style of player that would complement Rieko's Nonu style of play.

Do only South Africans watch this show? Good one guys! Much more balanced and watchable than the other NZ show. Keep it up.

All the critique against the ABs. That's unfortunately what you guys get for being the overall top dogs, a high standard is placed on the ABs, despite all the relevant factors being ignored such as new management and fresh ABs compared to the veteran English. Smash the northerners brothers! 🇿🇦💪

Not many veterans in this England team my friend .

Did not seem like CD was hassling the ref. I think he picked up on the fact that Ireland were not getting any of the 50 50s and thats frustrating. Usually i like luke pierce but he - and the tmo - were pretty rancid on Saturday for the important calls. You can argue all of them but when craig casey is getting oxygen and the guy barely looks at the replay thats pretty bad.

As an England fan I really felt Borthwick made some bad calls in the last 20. Both teams moved to a territory game, but NZ really did it better. Beauden Barrett really is an ace to bring on at 15 - his kicking variety and accuracy is incredible. Compare that to England where Spencer was kicking too long to compete, maximising the time to kick back or run / pass away from the corners where we were trying to pin the All Blacks in. That led to penalties - 6 in the last 20 vs 2 in the first half. Taking off your captain, 9 and 10 really told. I'd have kept all of them on - Mitchell's kicks were better, George would have added experience and Marcus Smith has the ability to counter attack that Finn Smith just doesn't. If anything, England should have seen the All Blacks tightening up, and responded by being a bit more expansive. Our backs in particular are really inexperienced but, unlike previous years, there are a lot of playmakers and great runners with the ball. Felt like an opportunity missed because we were focused on being hard to beat, rather than winning. I expect the All Blacks to keep improving as they have more time together, so England will really need to step up next game or risk losing with a more comfortable score line.

That's a really good point, Barrett was certainly a cut above his opposite. I also thought that Christie added a lot with his box kicking - before he came on the All Blacks were the ones kicking long and too far away from anyone coming through to put pressure on Furbank. His box kicks brought Reece into the game with the kick chase and allowed the All Blacks to add pressure to the territory game.

Here's a question regarding the South Africa v Ireland game. The moment in the game when the ball its kicked, and James Lowe trys to bat it back into play. The TMO was focusing on his hand touching the ball. But the ball actually brushes up against his leg, (You actually see his shorts move from the ball making contact, when viewed in slow motion) when his foot is clearly out of play. Does that mean the ball is out of play, and therefore the ball is dead. If that is the case, then the TMO botched this one, and it should have never been a try?

@LeMerch

13 күн бұрын

I think so. Sadly he made a second mistake in not letting the ball go out when SA kicked it, kept it in play and gave SA a scrum which they got a penalty try from. Ireland handed SA 14 free points. That’s why I look at that game as something that could have went to Irelands favour very easily and Ireland have always done this.. they either stay on top of the scoreline or if they don’t, they stay in it right up until the last few minutes and find a way to win it which they also nearly done. I think this next game is gonna be a lot different than most South Africans expect..

@philipmcdonald7370

Yes, he was out once the ball touched his leg. But overall SA deserved the win. We were chasing the game for most of it, had a purple patch in the 2nd and quietened the Loftus crowd but couldn't capitalise. Hopefully a good video review will have us in better shape in Durban 👍☘

If we put a centre flatter and have the front door back door with the 2nd 5 would that not solve the rush D, as it creates a 1 on 1 for the centre's every time? This is a forward asking. Even if you put a lossie running that line

There is, and has been, quite a lot of chat about Damian McKenzie not being an international level 10. I've been inclined to agree, despite him being an obviously very skilled and brave player. But how much of that reputation do you think might be because the All Blacks, within their previous coaching setups, haven't structured their play around his style/skillset? And do you think this will change under the new guard?

Good ep! James has a good picture of the game. Big up Ardie, great to see him back and playing for our favourite All Blacks.

Finau has yet to impress, might be better to bring in Vaii & tuipolotu at lock(even tho vaii isnt a big lock) with scott Barrett at blindside. Is Scot Robertson gonna cope with rush defence by the next world cup? Im a bit worried cos Rassie has bought in Tony Brown for S.A hes the last guy and the last team in the boks I would want in another team. NZRU should have got him. I get the sense coach is gonna use bb off bench a lot going forward even though i think bb is our best goal kicker. Dmac has a harder kicking style rather than bbs straight kick thing. have to say i loved Dmacs performance except goal kicking, he was a god under the highball, great southlander. I think for coach is that we were a knock-on replay away from a rwc win under foster and that regime that was far from perfect.

On the breakdown, Viktor Matfield said the Boks tend to kick more contestables, instead of kicking long. Personally, I think contestables are certainly NOT boring

​@Qminnie1 ja good point, I think these guys are always a lot more balanced in their analysis. I guess us SA fans are lumping all AB pundits in with Wilson and Kirwin. It's sad to say a lot of us are just a bit too sensitive... probably the ones who never actually played rugby

All the 50/50 calls went to the boks

Tbh they have been heavily favoured by the refs over the last two years. Last year's RWC was a joke in that virtually every marginal call and even some that weren't went SA's way.

As a Bok fan, at times I was quite frustrated by Pearce, I thought he was being quite harsh on us with a few calls, favouring Ireland, specially in the first half. Of course I won't argue the TMO calls went our way, but I've never been a fan of Whitehouse anyways.

​@@AK-wc9rl Cry me a river! When the call is in your favour, it's 100% correct, but when it goes against you, it's a 50 / 50 call. Why not just say it was 100% wrong!

I love how all of sudden Tony Brown gets all the credit for Boks creative performance 😱🤣🤣🤣🤣

People forget we play ball in hand as kids, its only really from club and Bok level that it changed. Future-splash, We can revert to expansive play without ditching tradition

Great talk. Like that kumpai rule lol. Up it up! Da boyz

As an England fan, I would love to see us win. In reality, I think NZ will win again.

Great podcast. Enjoy the unbiased views

Keep talking about quick line defence why dont the all blacks do the same amd why dont we find a way to counter that. It just goes on and on🙄

Yeah they still havent come up with anything safe yet better learn quick becoz south africa will monster us. wat I found is that they're going wide way too early instead of having 12 crash first then try it

Great Test, Confusing refreeing at the scrums. Really cool to see England run the ball, they got alot of flak for playing anti rugby at the world cup

Kick fest - wasn’t a great spectacle…..

England rush defense live on the offside line & are very adept at dragging teams into their kind of game..watch their RWC semi final as a clear example.

Agree mate, AB’s have always been great attackers so guess we expected them to cope better with the rush defence. I’m sure under Razor that will be the case shortly, he’s the right man for the job!

Why do they still reward the 'fair catch' it seems like a bit of a cop out, for one it would speed the game up and two it would create pressure on the catcher knowing he doesn't have that option potentially spill the ball and create a scoring opportunity, everytime its called i'm like why? Putting the defence under pressure is the whole point of the game...am i missing something here?

@nepiahemopo1702

Yeah, but the pressure should always be there no matter what. Just rewards for handling it.

The southern guys fought to get the worst cup and in dur course professionalism this would level the whole playing field and now the northern guys have bridged the gap with the boks with s foot in both camps south Africa beat France by 1 and England and nz also nz bt England by one Ireland bt south Africa by five and then lose by 7 its literally anyones game when the top teams play

Razor may need to bring Stern Vern

Flat doesn't work the deeper your backline, the further they have to go to get to you,at least you have more time to react, a flat Backline can end up with the players being bunched up, like they were in that test.

it was a great game watching the British kicking game was on point, but I like how Sevu Reece bodied the English full back 2 times in 2 minutes, the English just did not bring the game back after Marcus Smith was taken off

Getting some views from putting the springboks name on it, I promise you, coach rassie is watching

Top bloke, Ardie 👌🏾

At this point the AB's just need to get a South African "regte" scrum coach in the setup somewhere, because it's evident the other teams have huge forwards and gain advantages with that.

Get real, the AB scrum is one of the best in the world.

DMac froze twice in that game, got swamped and went down, so much for handling that rush defence.

In the last five encounters with England, New Zealand hasn't won by more than 3 points. What has made the English so difficult to put away?

Tj was on!

Can I pleeeaase get that intro track

Caleb Clark needs to play as does Blackadder

All Blacks are just on a different level.Wallabies will up the ladder rankings more

This thing of having south African teams playing overseas has me confused. For years Ive always wanted the southern hemisphere teams to win but I find myself wishing England and Wales take their second tests.

The Blues are done for the year but Parsons is still beating their drum, including promoting their AB representation

“Contestible kicks” sounds like Springboks of last year! As does Englands rush defence 🤔

4 metres per carry is deemed the acceptable average, 2.3 just isn't enough

Rush Defence is the All Blacks Kryptonite

savea 😊❤

It seems like the ABs haven't changed their tactics since 2017. Rush defense,?? Never heard of it. 😂

What a Voiiibe at the start 😎🤣

Hey Ardie, PSD is waiting for you....

Ardie has had more interviews than the actual All Blacks captain.....he should have been the captain from the start typical Crusaders x coach 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤡

Rugby simple game.Your forwards must get over the advantage line before you go wide. English were great spoilers in the rucks and line outs.Itoje was absolute nuisance. The All Blacks need to sort this out.

loose the earing champ jeeeezzzz you wan tto give the Boks more courage - keep doing this

All Blacks will win there game, now Razor can see where and how the team can play

Huh??? Will they be upset??? That's a dumb question. Will there be an upset...
