Yep Mulligan very lucky not to have card ..of either variety, considering refs decisions in other games.

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

We gotta be happy with that... getting far call possesion, piss weak SOG and giving away what ball we do get... and only one down at HT.


BT to give the lads a new hair style and come out with a bit of fire and we can still win it!

Fire the far cup lads!!!

Failed to hear christies name yet. Bring on Chris Wood. We need a goal, doesn't matter what we get beaten by if we do.

All Aboard the Phoenix/ All Whites Bandwagon!!

South Africa are too quick for us, there passing a fast tempo game and there having a field day getting in behind our fullbacks.

Were good in the air but were attacking the wrong side, putting in crosses right into Booth there biggest man on the pitch

4 chances to 1 so far

classic Surge..that's what Ricki and Brian need to do tho..lets see some action NZ! Compared to Italy and Spain, South Africa are here for the taking.

We have to improve 100% this half or its all over, there is no drive or cohesion from the players,they are just Ball watching.
 
The amount of space that they are giving the SA players is ridiculous, we aren't good enough to give players that quick that kind of space.
 
The only player who seems to have some intensity and willing is Bertos the rest are not interested.

Tim Brown is having a bad game. always giving away the ball, with shocking passes and not tackling anyone. replace him with james, our midfield cant get the ball up to the strikers. Whats the point of playing two, if they dont see the ball. Bertos and Elliott are at least trying.

How Chris James can't make this team, when we have people like Mulligan, Christie and Brown on the field is beyond me.

yeah not the best of starts.

bring off mulligan or boyens? I think they are both pretty nervous.

perhaps tim brown.

Can we really sub off our captain??
 
What would that do for the teams confidence, don't get me wrong i thought he's been largely awol in the game against Spain and seemingly here, but it may further compound what seems like a confidence issue for our boys??

No changes..here we go again...I fail to understand why subs are so rarely used by RH.

Who's on the bench? Besides Woods and James (and Paston)... we need some pace in the middle... Brown and Plodder are nowhere - Elliott whilst not quick in the legs has the speed of head and anticipation to do well, but the others are getting left behind (Leo doing well but may need to swap sides to find more space and get away from Mulligone?).

This is embarrassing, more schoolboy stuff. Why haven't we made any subs or tactical changes, poor from the players and even poorer from the coaching staff

This is disgraceful, why haven't we got James on the pitch. Most attacking midfield we've got. Why isn't he on??

We have a number of good young players on the bench who haven't had a chance yet, we are 2-0 down, no one is playing any good yet they can't get on the park, this is ridiculous.
