    GO THE FKN JUNGLE CATS!

    @nta Kellaway looks like a player that needs to be involved more...

    They didn't want to kick to his wing because they were targeting Koroibete's with the high ball. We didn't execute much set piece attack either to bring him in.

    Very low error rate.

    From GAGR -
    "It's pretty inspirational that the Boks are even playing in this tournament. Seems Etzebeth and many of their forwards suffer from serious chronic medical conditions, severe forms of arthritis, perhaps, and struggle to go more than 14 seconds without being attended to by a legion of medical staff for a minute or two. Leaving the care home -- whence I assume they all reside, what with all this constant need for medical attention -- must be a pretty daunting experience. They have displayed true courage simply by turning up to Australia, let alone finding the willpower to partake in a match of rugby union football."

    @nta 15 of the misses would've been on Kerevi. He's been immense since his return. That offload to Samu was something else.

    And he actually was tackled that time

    That's Carlos Spencer level shit, offloading to yourself.

    Thought Boks forwards and halves looked off the pace. Vermeulen Etzebeth Mbonambi and the props are not mobile enough and Faf looks slower than I remember. The ref kept them in the game though with what I thought was some over zealous officiating. If AB's can stop the constant stoppages from the Bok forwards and not get penalised heavily they should do OK.

    Boks will be getting a rest under their posts a fair bit....

    Just how outdated & limited was Gatland’s game plan?

    Picked the wrong players to execute his game plan when he had all the players he needed to smash the Boks with a different game plan

    @mikethesnow could have been a very dangerous backline outside Russell, with strike players like Hogg/Williams, Watson, Harris, etc.

    Tremendous from Australia

    Some lovely attractive running rugby with deserved tries.

    Great to see guile best grunt.

    Hopefully they can do the same to the Argies.

    If SA get anywhere near NZ then we’ll be back in Heimlich land

    And had better forwards than Australia who could have run them ragged

    We fucked up their grunt fairly well, too.

    I was happy to see the ref correctly adjudicate the maul, but also happy to see us adjust how we stopped it.

    The Boks threw almost exclusively to Orie and it seemed like they could never get it started.

    Right to copy some shit I posted elsewhere:

    Our discipline still needs work and our high ball defense was ordinary.
    Boks didn't fire a shot - think they got sucked into trying to play a bit wide, and then went back to their maul which was providing them zero go-forward after initial penalty wins there.
    The balance of personnel is about right for the Wallabies BUT Koroibete is a target for high kicks, and while Hodge grew into the game, he looks like he's lacking confidence. Some good counterattack from us which is good to see - heads-up play lacking the last few years
    Where to for the Boks?
    They're not fit enough.
    They're not creative enough.
    Their cohesion shows exactly what they are: a team picked from across the world with limited time together executing a limited game plan that is fairly easily blunted.
    ABs by 30 next week.

    Yep, they were God awful under the bombs. Hodge was copping no end of shit and the crowd cheered ironically when he finally caught one. Korobiete was probably worse though. Get rid of Swindon as well. That hideous caveman is almost a card a game player.

    The Boks were just shit. But tbh that isn't the first time I've gone to Suncorp and seen them get touched up. For whatever reason they don't seem to care about losing to Australia but go psycho against NZ. Having said that, they seemed up for these games so maybe they really are just a mediocre side 🤔. That backline was hopeless. Le Roux has to be the most overrated player in the game.
