Springboks v Wallabies

[Kruse]

Boks looking confident, Ockers looking... shambolic.
14-0 after 20'

[Kruse]

Ha... Aussie sideline signals for a replacement, ref thought it was "yellow 8"... Hooper says "no... it can't be".
He knows perfectly well the... ah... "limitations" of the bench.

Marks gets away with one at scrum time. Should’ve been penalised

[ACT Crusader]

20-12 at halftime. 3-0 in the second half.

Very poor test match. Oz created plenty of opportunities in the second half but kept turning the ball over.

Beale, DHP absolute shockers. Korobeite was having his best test before going off crook.

No variation in the Wallaby attack and the long cut out ball was not working yet they kept going back to it.

Pocock a very good game.

[Kruse]

In a game where there was a try in the first minute... I literally nodded off a couple of times.

[Victor Meldrew]

Watched the last 15 minutes. I sense I didn't miss much...

[Rapido]

I'm watching this now.

I just fell out of my chair on the 35th minute. Jerome does know that rule after all? No attempt to find a way to weasel out if it.

Aussies should have won. They would have but they didn't seem to have the patience to break the South Africans down. The disappointing thing for the Aussies would be how difficult they found it to break down the defence. This team doesn't have a plan B. Some shocking passes and poor ball security let them down as well. They aren't a bad team but they don't help themselves.

[Rapido]

Boks dominated again on the traditional posession and territory stats.

The Wobblies never quite recovered from gifting Boks a seven point start. Had it been within ten with ten to go, they could have taken the three and Boks would have had to toe the line much more. Wobblies lineout a shocker. Ended with Hupah as main jumper!! Ruck ball protection non-existent at times. Watched last ten on double speed it was so bad.

[Rapido]

Aus turned down a lot of kickable 3s. But, even coming from me who is a take the 3 sort of guy, it never felt like the wrong decisions.

That's what chasing a game can do.

Didn’t catch this , who won ? Expecting a big game from the wallabies to get them back on track a year out from a Rwc .

Didn't bother watching. Please explain.

@jegga Boks won 23-12. Aussies lurch from one poor performance to another.

"Oui, Jerome. Ok, listen carefully. I shall say this only once. We have a deal".

Cheika to be gone.
Aussies to make a Hail Mary play for Scott Robertson????

[taniwharugby]

@frank would he want to follow Deans' footsteps?

Says he wasnt ready for the ABs, not sure he'd rush over the ditch.

[Frank]

@taniwharugby
I agree he won't take it.
But I think it's possible the Aussies might try.
They really are in a dire situation.

I didn't watch it either. From all reports the winner was the NRL.

[jegga]

Please let them hire Scott Johnson .

Please.

The man , the myth , the mullet . You know it makes sense.
