Wallabies vs Springboks 2

[Mattasaurus]

Who would have thought it would be this close

[antipodean]

Lolesio misses a sitter to take the lead into halftime.

If the Boks weren't busy self sabotaging, they'd be three scores ahead.

[sparky]

11-9 to the Boks at half time.

@antipodean said in Wallabies vs Springboks 2:

I'd prefer refs just tell teams to play and award a freekick against them if they delay. Or penalise them for having waterboys on the field.

A simple deterrent.

As @KiwiMurph posted, the field is sub-standard.

[sparky]

Oz tackling at 94%. An excellent effort.

Boks struggling unusually at set piece.

But their athleticism remains mighty impressive, even when they are playing a bit off.

[antipodean]

Maul try as a direct result of the WW2 pilot gifting the Boks another 10m for not releasing the ball.

[antipodean]

Conversion successful.

9 - 16

[antipodean]

Koroibete is a bit of a liability too. Must be the most penalised player on the field.

[sparky]

Boks in. Kick good. 9-18.

That feels like a big turning point.

[sparky]

Dumb from Nick White in the build- up to the try.

[KiwiMurph]

Does Habana have a second eye?

[antipodean]

How does White taking out Am in the air not get penalised?

[nostrildamus]

How tall is Paul Williams? When he stood next to the locks in the lineout I thought I was watching the new holiday smash "Honey, I shrunk the ref!"

[antipodean]

Here's a surprise. Slipper on the field long enough for Alaalatoa to have a rest.

[KiwiMurph]

Time for retire James

[antipodean]

Golden oldies scrums as the Wallabies make a further mockery of the game.

[Tordah]

So many stoppages

[KiwiMurph]

Isn't there a sideline official whose job is to sort this shit out?

[sparky]

18-12 to the Boks.

One of the slowest Tests I can remember.

[KiwiMurph]

Another awful kick
