It's incredibly dumb play to be soft at the contact trying to recycle and count down the clock.
That wasn't the only dumb thing on display tonight, not by a long way.
And whatever character the team was showing in the last 2 games (and it was great to see) went missing tonight. No-one seemed to be taking ownership when things weren't going well - players seemed to be just wandering about.

Who was calling the lineouts? Whomever had a shit game.
The only real unforgivable one was that throw to the front when we are 5m out.
Ardie looked to have called that
What about the one to the front when 5m out

Shit tactics. Didn't adjust to their ruck tactics.
Very poor captain selection.
No real game plan worse than last week,we learnt nothing.
I blame TJP and Mo'unga at the end. Pick and goes are always 50/50.
Mo'unga really struggles against teams like the Boks and England who are super physical on defense. He got smashed when he came on and hardly featured after that.
Eh? He took the line on at those two forwards and got in between them and behind. Created a penalty for us.

The base . -

OK call. Poor execution.

How is it the Wallabies can put the Boks to the sword?

They always rise for us. Always

The base .He needed to demand the ball from that ruck and TJP give it to him. As I said play territory and kick into the corner with time nearly up. You know, like in the 2015 RWC SF.

Every arrogant fluffybunny who talked about how the Boks couldn’t hang with us should have a good look in the fucking mirror. They play differently and they are fucking dangerous.
Terrible captaincy.
Bad performance by a lot of players in black.
Great performance by a lot of players in green.
If we were so bad and they were so good you'd think they would have won by more then a penalty in overtime.
That was a great test, so much better than last week. Both teams made mistakes but also had moments of pure brilliance, and the end of the match was absolutely hectic. Love test matches like that.
I think it was a great test too, but most on here we’re talking about how we were 15 points better. That’s karma coming home right now.
We aren’t. We’re very evenly matched abd we might want to recognize it. Ardie would be the only forward who shaded their opposite tonight, but only as a player. All told their front 8 was better than ours all night. We need to wake up to that.
Yeah for sure. The Boks really do have a mental block against Aus though. Like we fucking smacked 7 shades of shit out of them in their own back yard, how could they lose to them and then counter our game so much more effectively? Rugby is a funny game...

FFS yeah blame the guy who was on for 15 minutes not the Fuck wits who played most of the game.

The only consolation is we were missing Cane, Whitelock, Smith. That's a lot of leadership and quality there. And the Boks were simply more desperate
That's also a lot of old age.....
In between aren't we? A lack of onfield leadership right now. But I want to see us consistently go up the guts and be more physical. Set piece was poor, discipline was poor, and they were better than last week
