@Bones I presume Cheika is waiting for the paperwork on another Fijian to be Australianised.

Naivalu in. Timani out

Good to know. The suspense was killing me

Hodge could be in for a busy day. This Boks side is pretty ill disciplined.

Tordah

Boks look terrible, their defensive alignment is far too slow whenever the Wallabies go wide.

And stupid... killing time while Arsetralia has Folau sin-binned? WTF?

Bones

Ok, I'm still really really struggling to see what it is that has people rating Folau so much. I'd easily take Smith, Dagg and NMS over him, without taking into account other countries fullbacks. He's far from no 1.

Some very dodgy steals by both sides at the breakdown right in front of Barnes, definitely not holding own bodyweight.

Moore is bloody still having a whinge at every single stoppage, has nobody had a word to him to just take a breath?

The boks making plenty of half chances, just no cohesion and linking. If they turn that around they'll come out on top, but it's not looking likely.

Bok defence is so passive. Wobbles making yards with one off runners.

Books are as bad as I've ever seen them

KiwiMurph

There is some woeful rugby in this game.

nzzp

Barnes is a weird ref. Ultra pedantic at times and blind at times.

The Bok fans will be steaming about some calls

Bones

Robertson, what a thorough dickhead.

Tordah

Cooper and Genia must have thrown ten forward passes between them, and only one called so far. Reminiscient of the Reds 2011 abberration season

Lucky to stay on the field. Two down and ten to go... Idiot

It Ain't cheating if the ref doesn't catch you

Yeah considering Barnes has already said anyone who runs in will see a yellow card.

nzzp

@Bones
He was smart enough to run in from behind the ref... Otherwise he'd be toast

Tordah

Aussie scrum getting mullered, might be the decisive factor in the end

Tordah

very un south african play but then a DG, haha.

nzzp

Well that's the game. Creativity from the Bok running a penalty everyone expected them to kick. Sets then up perfectly for a drop goal and Eight point lead

KiwiMurph

South Africa's defence inside their own 22 won them the game.

That was a golden chance for the Wallabies to win at Loftus.

Tordah

@KiwiMurph scrum when both teams' replacements were on was deciding, too

Billy Tell

Terrible game. Cheika & Coetzee would be happy with a mid table 6N finish at the moment.

SH moral high ground has melted away. NZ excepted...
