Wallabies v Springboks
-
bloody hell these guys make this game look dull
-
a draw would be apt... no one "wins" in a game like this
-
The Springboks got to 14 something ahead in the first half and have played to protect their lead ever since!
-
The speed and unrelenting attack of the Pumas earlier tonight would have both of these mobs floundering in their wake.
-
gawd these guys are shite..
comfortably the worst match between these two teams i have watched in a long time

I was thinking the same - how is the sport going to attract any new players/fans dishing up such dross
-
How was Hooper MoTM!? And I thought Pocock was kicking the ball bbc ac km in the rucks..
This Argie game could be interesting...
Nb apart from a fitter looking Genial I thought the Wallabies- well their tight forwards anyway - looked a little chubby. But after the first few minutes the Boks just looked clueless. -
Only saw bits of this as I was out, and the area of the pub in which the function was held played only mungoball.
So from the bits I saw in the Sports Bar of said venue .... fuck. Some great stuff in there by the Wobs, but a continuation of the bad defence to start, and the aimless kicking throughout. Might be a reply on tomorrow. I might give enough fucks to watch it. Probably not.
Point is: we won. Streak broken.
But, as I was saying to the two very disgusted South African gents in the Sports Bar: my concern for both the Boks and Wallabies is burgeoning. They're hampered by their race politics. We're hampered by our school tie politics. Only one of those discussions is headed in a positive direction as far as quality of rugby is concerned.

I think its pretty obvious now , the ABS are currently on another level ,
The interesting part for me , is where the Pumas fit in , in relation to the other two sides ,
Next weeks game will tell us a lot more
-
Watching replay now. Shit, Hodge has a massive boot. He just punched a touch finder from our 30 to just outside the Bok 22.
Bit of grease on the deck didn't help the handling in contact. Some really good work from us overall, even if the opposition weren't much chop.
-
I didn't think it was that bad a game, at least both sides were trying to play attacking, positive footy.
We selected a bits-and-pieces side, and played like a bits-and-pieces side. But our forwards muscled up and our defence was great.
We probably should have won by 20, but sucked at converting half-chances into tries. That said, good to see Genia back in form, Cooper finding his feet, and Kerevi growing in confidence.
Not the prettiest, but I'll take it.
-
@barbarian I think Fat Kerevei actually won that game for you guys. For some inexplicable reason the Boks couldn't tackle him (like back when the ABs couldn't tackle Mortlock) and he just kept getting Oz on the front foot. I doubt he'll have as influential a game again though.

Which is a big improvement considering how many points they have given away in the previous 5 games.
I was surprised they managed to grind their way back into the game. They were unlucky to be so far behind early on. I was really expecting the heads to drop and SA to run away with it after that start
