I'm pretty pumped to see how Joe approaches the Boks, but you're right-if the first couple of games are damp squibs, tuning in for the second test might be less appealing. An NZ-Boks match at Eden Park/Loftus would have been the right call. The Six Nations never "saves the best till last", and as we saw after the fairly one-sided France vs. Ireland game this year (billed as the final that never was), what was expected to be a walkover in England vs. France/Ireland turned out to be the most hyped and enthralling matches of the competition. Italy deserves a shout out too!
You are wrong. The Boks had to win. If they lost, they would've lost their world ranking to Ireland. The score doesn't really reflect what happened on field. The Aussies actually really tried hard and considering the Boks left 3 tries out there, they did well.

True, But the Australian defence has to be the one the worst in world rugby
All Blacks fans must feel as confused as a Polar bear in the middle of the Amazon jungle 😮
