Wallabies v Springboks
-
Faf De Klerk having a great game so far. Wallabies getting outmuscled so far.
-
This game is a comedy of errors.
-
It's a damning indictment on Australian Rugby that a player as utterly rubbish as Simmons has this many tests

How fucking dumb are the Boks? First the gifted try from a risky lineout play 5m from their line. Now shit crossfield kicks in their 22.
Yes they should have kicked that long and been well down in Aussie territory. If they wanted to attack they should have kept ball in hand . Was a really dumb play to try the cross filed chip.

Bokke backline handling is pretty crap as well - forwards look OK when they cut down on the silly errors

@machpants Argentina usually save their worst for the Wallabies and that'll probably continue this year.

Rassie needs to get Bok on track

Was Mbonambi being blamed for the error? Was Marx’s workload no longer an issue? It was a confusing move on several levels.
Erasmus offered some answers after the match. They only led to more questions.
Erasmus felt that Mbonambi had ’emptied the tank’ and needed to be subbed. There was no talk of an injury, and it was inferred that the hooker had simply run out of gas after 35 minutes of rugby.
The player picked to start couldn’t complete the first half due to exhaustion. The player on the bench, who couldn’t start because of a heavy workload earlier in the season, was brought on early and ended up getting 45 minutes of game time.
Try and make sense of that.
