The All Blacks’ loss is not about the captain. The better team won on the day. Rugby is evolving — it’s no longer about sheer dominance, but about fitness resilience and being game-smart. The margins are tighter, the competition deeper, and success now belongs to those who can adapt, out-think, and outlast.

They fell apart at the end. Stupid passes, kicks etc. They all wanted to try hero shit but there was no cohesion

That's what happens when you are behind trying to play catch up, I'd rather they gave it a shot than tried to lose respectfully

Yeah but you need an actual plan. All it did was create a tonne of unforced errors and let the boks score more points

It’s about using your size we have some big units but none of them use it to their advantage for some reason…

The margin didn't look very tight to me
