Wallabies v Springboks 1

[Derpus]

@ACT-Crusader Not that I am aware of. He played the last test.

Boks selection stuff.

@nta can elaborate but seems selecting 6' 2 1/2" Marx with 5' 8" Nche throws the scrum out. Guessing the LH lock finds it hard to get good contact with left shoulder. Dweba 5' 7 1/2" so no issue.

Very much select front rows as trio.

The question for tonight is, will the Boks do their normal implosion they seem to do in Aus? Not sure if it mental or what. We know the Wallabies will try to keep them moving and avoid the set piece as much as possible to wear them out, so will be well worth the watch this test.

[NTA]

@Dan54 don't think they will - in the past they've tried that under game plans that didn't win RWC.

This time it will be more clinical and highly effective. We don't have a Folau at the back to field bombs, as one point. Very vulnerable to the high ball

[Steven Harris]

Wow , what a start from the Wallabies

Playing touch footy.

WTF, I didn't even know this game was on now. Confusing start time.

Perfect timing considering the rugby community is all at finals fixtures. RA is retarded.

You don't go out after dark in Radelaide.

You might end up in a barrel of acid...

SBW with barely legible English phoning it in for the sweet pay.

I still haven't made it down there, my opportunities to go have lessened now that I've quit my job so wont get to go on the company (I was going to write a post in the happiness thread about by job situation but there's no way I can get any sympathy after your post today).

Might get round to it tomorrow, laziness has set in since I've stopped working .

[NTA]

Some helter-skelter stuff. Boks looking to break us up front and getting through the line. We're not finding touch enough.

[NTA]

Scrum folding - Arnold packing too high

[NTA]

Wow. Pollard missed two in a row. Sitters by his standards. Big stadium area putting him off?

[ACT Crusader]

Enjoyable first quarter.

Did the Wallabies hooker and locks meet in the car park? They haven’t been remotely close to landing a lineout.

Both teams playing pretty direct.

Oz struggling in the last 6-7 minutes for territory.

[ACT Crusader]

Another poor lineout.

[antipodean]

Wallabies imploding after 10mins of making the Boks look asleep.

So much fucking around. Could have thrown to Holloway at the front about three times without issue.
