The bottom line is that the AB's no longer have the forward depth to dominate World Rugby as in the past. The Boks, France and Ireland have much more depth and physically bigger and stronger forwards. This fact is always avoided by so called rugby experts.

@neilleefon6894 Год назад

Spot on

@JTAIT-b7g Год назад

We never have had the size, we have always relied on fitness & ball skills but the game is very different now with the ball being in play for far shorter periods of time & bigger forwards only needing to be fit enough to play 40-60 mins of a game. The Boks 7-1 reserve split is a classic example of how to negate the speed & fitness of the NZ game, they are able to bring on virtually a whole new forward pack at half time. We dont have the player pool or the size to play that kind of game, in particular at lock where we produce very few players of that height.

@corny165 Год назад

I'd go further than that to be honest. I'm Irish. As long as I can remember I've always known the NZ'ers to have superior ball skills in the forwards. Better than everyone in fact not just Ireland. I can't say that now. The Irish lads as a group have better handlers, passers and are infinitely better carriers because of superior footwork. It is really noticeable how much better our front row is than yours for example.

@@JTAIT-b7g but the ball is in play much longer these days - there was a study done on this - i'm quoting from the rugbypass website: "let’s put ball in play time into context. 38 minutes might not sound like a lot, but it’s a huge amount more than we had it in the past. The 1995 World Cup averaged just under 26 minutes of ball in play time. The 2019 World Cup had the most ever at 34 minutes. If current club trends continue into the international game, the 2023 World Cup should eclipse that by at least 10%" in some ireland games e.g. v France in the 6N the ball was in play well over 40 minutes

@GunKaraka Год назад

We have some serious issues with this team. For one, our game plan seems to be based around kicking and hoping that the opposition make a mistake. Teams that have the calibre like the French, won't give us opportunities from mistakes. The game plan is so unimaginative. Take the Fijians. They play like "Fiji". We don't play "AB's" rugby anymore. We're trying to be something we're not. I used to love our attacking mindset. Where has that gone? Secondly, our bench doesn't have the impact anymore. Other teams roll on their reserves and have a real impact ie. the Boks! We have players like Finlay Christie coming on that offer nothing, and don't get me started on why we need a winger on the bench. Where the hell is DMac? Have they sent him on a tour to the French Riveria? Sure, he has some moments of madness, but he can also come on and change a game. I also think he's matured a lot over the past couple of years since his season in Japan. I'd prefer to leave out Beaudie, put Jordan to fullback or start DMac there. If we don't change this up, we're on our way home after the quarters. At least at that point, we can put the Foster era and the "Old Boys Club" behind us.

@elduderino3236 Год назад

I agree. But I'll also put forward that the real weakness in this team is the pack; traditionally they would lift themselves to gain parity with the big packs of the world - even the Boks. I've never seen an ABs pack get repeatedly bullied like this. Is this just the result of the SA leaving SuperRugby?

@albertseegers3074 Год назад

The AB problems start with the no. 9 is not cleaning the ball fast, and then it gives the opportunity to defend them before the win any ground. The next problem is they pass the ball out, not looking if the receiver is in a good position to use the ball and in a position to pass it to a next player. The player who kicks the ball in his 25m must kick it out so that the team can get the defensive line and try to steal the line out ball. The AB must get the ball as fast to the wing with a position where the wing can beat his man. Now, no. 9 kick the ball away and the no. 12 trying too much running against the opposition instead of passing the to no. 13

@JTAIT-b7g Год назад

@@elduderino3236 Nope nothing to do with the Saffas leaving SR even though they seem to want to take the credit! NZ has never been the biggest pack but have always been the fittest. The new law changes have seen the game slow down significantly with the ball only actually being in play for between 30-35 minutes, this has reduced the need for "80 minute" fitness and resulted in bigger players who only need to be fit enough to play 40 minutes in some cases. NZ used to run teams off their feet & put them away in the last 20 minutes, you would see it happen over & over. The game has changed, fitness advantage has been negated, we will just have to follow suit & start to put more emphasis on size as opposed to fitness & ball handling skills.

Rassie is one of the best minds in World Rugby. I thought Springboks were hugely impressive. They played a very good Scottish team and they completely nullified their attack. Springboks have also dispatched one of their potential 2 threats in this group so there is less pressure on them now. Ireland still have South Africa and Scotland to get through.

We want them to be, and they historically have been, but we are now clutching at rainbows when we point to stats and say 'but we made the most gain line metres' or some other stat that suggests we should of, could of, but did not win. I have seen the Wallabies go down the same path of denying the reality of the results and speaking as if each loss is an aberration. In my opinion we were comfortably beaten albeit not until the second half, and lack the discipline and pressure skill set to be the best. I can only think of one or two players who are worthy of a World XV and some of our subs are not even close. Our old fragility under pressure we thought we had erased by winning two World Cups is reappearing but this time I am okay to recognise that we are a good team but not a great team. We deserve being fourth in the world and should expect to loose to France or South Africa or Ireland when we play them because they are better than us and higher in the rankings for a reason. We should expect to lose in the quarter finals and exit the World Cup having won three games and only defeating Italy being our crowning achievement.

Easy. Since you dumped SA out of SR, you have had little to no competition up front, no one to make you fight for every single inch of space, so your tight 5 are getting bullied. They said it here. Look at the games you have won and see what your forward pack have been doing in those games. Then look at the games you lost and see what your forward pack have not been doing.

@@Karma-qt4ji erm, SA left Super Rugby for a better timezone, bigger audiences, and likely more money. I don't remember the fact that NZ or AUS kicked them out. TBH, the SA teams would still have got beaten in Super Rugby by the likes of the Crusaders. However, when they come together as the Boks, they're a much different beast. I do agree with you re our forward pack.

@Karma-qt4ji Год назад

@@GunKaraka History shows that SR Aerotoa was constructed without SA, long before anyone knew whether or not SA would be back that year. We were excluded from the competition, as were Japan and Argentina. We had wanted Japan out because of the additional travel to that part of the world but we liked Argentina because of the RC. All three of us excluded and a new competition designed between NZ and Aus, with spots available for Pacific Island teams to form what we see as SR now. We were dumped, whichever way you want to cut it. We were never going to win more than the very occasional competition because the travel was debilitating. We were expected to tour 5 weeks without a break, often leapfrogging backwards and forwards over the Tasman in some intricate fatigue inducing dance, where a simple change of opponents for two of our teams could have prevented the extra travel - for instance Stormers play Reds, Chiefs, Brumbies while Lions play Crusaders, Brumbies, Chiefs; a swap of those last two games would result in less travel but we were constantly outvoted by NZ and Aus and just had to suck it up. This is not a whinge, this is just a synopsis of what often happened. But what we did have was big heavy forwards and playing against them toughened your lot up. Ardie Savea aside, in every game you have lost in the last 2 years, we simply do not hear the names of your forwards in the commentary, other than when they infringe.

There is a brilliant article on Rugbypass that looked at the mistakes that the AB's made against the French - and some of them were - arriving late to the breakdowns - not having enough men at the breakdowns - being monstered at the breakdown and losing the ball - kicking the ball away aimlessly and missing penalty kicks - attacking from deep and being neutralised on the halfway line. There was more but no side can win against any quality side when you are making such basic errors. I dont want to jump on the Fossie bandwagon - but I would've thought he would've sorted this out by now.

@jb-es4uw Год назад

The only way back is if the selectors pick based on 'who's the best player in that position' and not favourites. DMac needs to be given a chance to start at 15 with Richie at 10. They could complement each other well, or he comes in that 23 spot. In the forwards it's a shame because the starting pack has only played together once this year and that was against SA in Auckland. So it should steady the ship when everyone is back in the pack. The Bench is where everything falls apart for me (the final 20 minutes of the match). Whitelock to move to the 19 spot (Vaa'i isn't at international level), Blackadder comes straight into that 20 spot for me (good mongrel), Roigard at 21, David Havili at 22 and 23 is a toss up between power winger or a player who covers multiple positions (should be D Mac).

You have to put Ireland's win into perspective. Ireland looked slick against Romania which finished 2nd in the Rugby Europe qualification table behind Georgia. Romania got massacred by both Italy and Georgia by nearly 60 points and they even got beaten by abysmal USA by 30 points. Yes Ireland looked slick, much slicker than they did against Samoa two weeks ago or so but it did not look like an international game, it looked like a game of sparring partners to me so let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Boks will be the true indicator. The reason why Ireland fielded their strongest team comes down to bonus points and points average. Now for the All Blacks and the French, I would say ignore Italy at your own peril. The Italians have a strong forward pack, they are on an upwards trajectory after beating the likes of Wales (in the 6 Nations) and a Wallabies team that did not look like an A side to me. They play a simple rugby game plan and what will make the difference is execution. If you look at Italy's results since their win to Wales in Cardiff, they have improved so on any given day, an upset is always possible if things go their way the way it went for them in Cardiff. Wales 21 - 22 Italy (6N) Italy 49 - 17 Samoa Italy 28 - 27 Australia Italy 21 - 63 South Africa Italy 24 - 29 France (6N) England 31 - 14 Italy (6N) Italy 20 - 34 Ireland (6N) Italy 17 - 29 Wales (6N) Scotland 26 - 14 Italy (6N) Scotland 25 - 13 Italy Ireland 33 - 17 Italy Italy 57 - 7 Romania Italy 42 - 21 Japan Italy 52 - 8 Namibia (RWC)

@SF-rw1oz Год назад

Another good reason for Ireland fielding that team is the schedule, also the injury/suspension situation Ireland have Tonga next, then SA then Scotland. Romania could very well have been seen as a last warm up game before those three (no disrespect to Romania) Ireland only played 2 warm up games. Against England they didn't once try to play a set move, something very much associated with Ireland. Against Samoa, in torrential rain they tried (I believe) 4 kicks, very low for a very kick happy team and in such conditions It just seemed like they were holding back in the warm ups, knowing that they had over a month to go before SA, a month that would give SA, Scotland and Tonga plenty of time to prepare a strategy That may be wishful thinking but it would explain the limited game plans they brought to the England and Samoa games Then there's the fact that Sexton hasn't played rugby for 6 months. He needed minutes with the first team. Playing him with the second string wouldn't help his sharpness with the bigger games coming up

With respect to this point about gain-line percentages (20:55), here’s an interesting stat about the Springbok v Scotland game: “The Springboks made more metres, post-contact, (315) than Scotland carried with the ball in total (226) and were more than a second faster than Scotland on average for all of their rucks and the fastest speed they managed compared to any of their summer series games”. The game’s changed, gentlemen. It’s not about your gain-line, it’s about how much you can limit the opposition’s. The best teams in the world right now have an attacking defence, which is why South Africa’s rush defence (and to a lesser extent, France’s) is so effective. No longer can teams rely on cynical infringements on their line as a substitute for a good defence, nor a sole-reliance on attack to pull away in a game.

Painful to watch right now. B.Barrett is in some very poor form and McKenzie should have already had game time at 15. Leicester F needs to be unleashed and Richie M needs to be given greater freedom with less playmaking interference from Barrett. T Vai should have had more time in the locks to develop, Roigard off the bench. The poor lack of control with ball in hand is so bad I’m struggling to see AB’s beat the top three of SA, France or Ireland… Fozzie’s reign has been been an unparalleled period of historic poor performances and bad bad results.

Jim, just a slight correction: It's to quickly communicate the level of fitness of a player on the field. IE. When the coaches think it's time for the player to come off, they'll show one colour. When they think a player is still good to go, they'll show a different colour, etc. The reason for the lights is because the crowds are so loud that it's difficult for them to hear one another over the noise sometimes. So rather than possibly getting the wrong call from the coaching box, they decided to fall back on the lights system. (This system was used by the Rassie team on a number of occasions in the past.) No one can "make" you believe whether this is true or not, but I'm just explaining that it's not a new thing for them.

I think Ireland can beat South Africa, but I also think South Africa can beat Ireland. These guys talk about the kicking and they are not wrong, but it was Rassie's call to go for the points from an area of the field outside of Manie's comfort zone and historically would have seen Frans Steyn step up. That kick was even outside Pollard's range as we saw in the RWC final (63rd minute) where he also did the classic short, left and low that you get from trying to kick too hard. That kick also broke Manie's rhyth for the next kick, for a similar position to his 3rd kick that sailed over the black dot. 100% in the Ireland game, that is going to the corner and for all his faults, Manie is good at finding the corner. Right now Rassie is playing game by game depending on the opposition. We played differently against Argentina (2nd game), Wales, All Blacks and Scotland. You can't point to something and say "that is how they will play" because even us fans don't know. The issue with Ireland for this tournament though is that they HAVE to beat South Africa because of the potential threat of Scotland a week later. Scotland should not beat them but stranger things have happened so it is a chance that they cannot afford to take. So South Africa, then Scotland, both big games, then straight into the QF. Unlike most other sides, they have pretty much 5 weeks of finals, not 3 and Sexton (and Ringrose and Sheehan) has to play them all.

Okay Mr Parsons, let's hear the excuses. 09:50 - Thank you Brynn for giving SA (and France) some credit for pressuring the All Blacks. Mistakes, penalties and the inability to implement a game plan doesn't occur in a vacuum. The opposition team is heavily influencing all three of those by their actions / performance.

@bittersweet340 Год назад

HERES A STATIC KICKING THE BALL AWAY DON'T SCORE POINTS.... AB'S HAVE GONE AWAY FROM THEIR STRENGTH AND THATS ATTACKING RUGBY... DON'T KNOW WHY TAKE 3 POINTS WHEN OPPOSITION UNDER THE PUMP BEHIND THEIR GOAL... I FEEL THEIR KICKING JUST WAS NOT ON POINT THAT LET THEM DOWN....

"But New Zealand can get so much better" once said Jeff Wilson. Now looking forward to the NZ v Italy game. Stranger things have happened.

@EGM534 Год назад

Italy are no chance. People going on about how close it was last time, but we were 21-3 at half time and won in the end by 40 odd. That was before Ryan, we are much better now. Cane and Frizle will be back too. Probably start brodie ahead of Whitelock too

@tenchemarius Год назад

AB have played in this game 3 players specilist at 7. 6, 7, and 8th all are 7 specialists. Richie Mounga goes back 10m and never tries to go forward and break the line every time the forwards are not dominating the opposition. Bearden Barrett at 10 , Mckenzie at 15 , Ritchie on the bench

@justinoswald8825 Год назад

Taking nothing away from Ford, the man is a genius and has been underrated for far too long: but I don't know if England can resort his dropkicks to get them through the tourney. It's more of a surprise attack. Janie De Beer used them to put England to the sword in '99 but in the next game, the Aussies were ready for it and SA couldn't use them effectively. Not sure they make it deep into the tournament.

@CoolCoyote Год назад

thats what u get for playn taylor who shouldnt even be in the 22, coles and samsoni are way better. 2 mo has already proved his average e-goal kicking, id take english number 10 over him any day, btw france were not that impressive, but like fiji, n.z couldnt take a trick , taylor just throws the ball over the sideline while, hard on attack before half time.

@J0sh351 Год назад

Leicester should be in the mid field imo our backline has been lacking a big body for so long. We’re a glass cannon team. Sure reiko is fast but he’s not gonna break tackles consistently like Leicester would.

@JTAIT-b7g Год назад

Leicester has signed overseas already so that ship has sailed. Reiko is young for an international centre & is going to develop into a top class 13..our problems are primarily up front is where we are getting beaten.

@Shakes23100 Год назад

Good analysis. I don't think Richie feels like he's the conductor like he does with the Saders. He's the focal point of the attack so let him do it. Having Barrett there next to him while always make him feel like he's not fully trusted to run the play himself.

@ShirleyVanWyk-dm8tn Год назад

@Dunnerstunner369 Год назад

Agree, he actually looked so good when he got his hands on the ball too.

@Love1Monster Год назад

Game management = responsibility of Mounga and Barrett. We were trying for a highlights reel play with each possession. Needed to create some continuity first to relieve some defensive pressure. You guys wax about Mounga’s game management with the Crusaders. Does that emperor have no clothes?

@zaheerlarey1294 Год назад

They played too much rugby in their half. Dupont and even Ramos was brilliant with their clearance kicks. They kicked deep into the AB's half(even 22). What's frustrating to see isthe fact that they seem to have no plan B. I understand you try a game plan but if it doesn't work then you need to adapt. Foster also made changes far too late for guys to make an impact.

@whakatane6298 Год назад

Shaun Stevensons huge boot is what was needed in that french game, Shaun Stevenson's ability to beat defenders with ease and set up his outside backs is what was needed in that french game Beauden Barrett coming off the bench has and will always be his best position super sub The Allblacks bench just aint exciting anymore, i remember when we couldn't wait for certain bench players to come on the field all had xfactor now they just got average bench players who cover positions, COVER ALL POSITIONS is the Allblacks new dumb motto

@RepeatQuotations Год назад

Nailed it bro especially with Jordie out they needed the big boot of Stevenson

@whakatane6298 Год назад

@@RepeatQuotations to be honest bro Jordie is good but I would've loved to see Aamua at 12, someone dangerous who needs to be contained who needs more than one defender on him which would free up Reiko n Jordan a bit more

Rassie's Light Show TOTALLY helps! Any communication techniques between a coach & team/sideline assistants is an advantage. No matter how ridiculous you may think it looks; it helped win WW2.. Also, it's far quicker than 2degrees SMS :-)

@londonfever9709 Год назад

In the end we might be surprised by who wins it but the top 4 teams to win this cup are Ireland, France, SA and New Zealand. As the pundint said, it is about the small margins and historically the All Blacks have always won those margins/battles. That is no longer the case and teams now have that belief (especially in the NH) that they can be beaton. That being said as a french supporter the All Blacks are special and can win it all because they do have that DNA. We won the first battle but a long way to go for everyone.

Great to see more guys calling out the lack of a mongrel mentality in our pack, at its core. If you cannot at least match the oppositions passion and play out a ding dong battle for the hole eighty… Well you can forget about playing anything around a game plan. Simple!!!!! I’ll stand by the guys. However, I’ll stand by my previous thoughts on what this AB’s pack would look like from my armchair:-) Beauden out! Papilii out! Samipini Finau In!! Hoskins Sotutu In!! Ardie #7 (C)

@Gerrardboss-v2g Год назад

It all comes back to the coach . Foster had four years to build pack depth ! Now the ABs are exposed as a 40min team , not having the bench depth to counter the best in the world . Rassie and Jacques have been playing chess , while foster played checkers . Twickenham was simply " CHECK MATE " France followed suit , great depth .

@jameshickling2641 Год назад

I think one of the biggest differences in the games earlier in the year (yes weak teams, SA was foxing or underdone) was that BB wasnt crowding Richie, BB was staying our of 1st receiver and Richie was running the show. Recently the last 2 losses on top of the forwards being monstered and terrible selections in the back row its been so messy with BB again. That and our bench - its easily the weakest we have every had and worst of the top teams.

@jacques7891 Год назад

I've been in NZ for a year, 2 things surprised me. NZ schools rugby are not a big event. In SA the biggest first team game attracts 25 000 supporters, the average game probably about 1000 to 5000 depending on the occasion. Every young boy dreams of one day playing for his school's first team, it's an honour. I watched the Wellington College first team, there were about 100 people, this school produced the 3rd most AB's. Secondly I never, not even now during the WC, see supporters on weekends wearing AB jerseys. In SA they have Bok Fridays where people wear Bok gear to work and kids to school. That creates a passion for the team and boys want to be a Bok. If NZ do the same, less kids would play basketball and soccer.
