@Bones haha, guess we’ll never know!

Bingo!

[game_film]

@Bones Yeah, but he’d be back on anyway at this point with the scrum. Intrigued to see if the game had been close what would have happened.

[Crazy Horse]

It grinds hearing the Boks called the world champions every five minutes.

[game_film]

Wallaby 23 doesn’t have the face of an international player.

[Kruse]

The celebrations of Wallaby fans for not being kept to 0.

He looks very similar to his father...

[nostrildamus]

are the Wallabies missing a top lock? Also the props seemed a little quiet

[nostrildamus]

They're also having trouble getting past 13 men. Not common for a Wallabies team to lack an attacking mindset out wide.

[Bones]

Fuck me the books were like two metres offside

After witnessing so much Australian sporting success in the last fortnight, the match is a bit like therapy.

[sparky]

It finished Australia 7 South Africa 33.

A more ruthless Springbok side would have won by 50 points.

The world champions played acceptably tonight

Great performance by the good guys. The newbies like SFM, Dixon and Louw performed well. Good to get the BrisVegas ghost behind us.

@sparky true story. more accuracy and the Boks would have / should have really - put 60+ past this Wallabies team. Super Rugby has become a bit of touch rugby in my opinion - it doesn't really create an environment for tough forwards - so this Aus pack just doesn't have answers.

NZ will have answers - but not Aus. I imagine next week will be pretty similar.

Yeah, the quality of forward play in Super Rugby is really poor in comparison with the European leagues.

I'll be extremely surprised if Bongi doesn't come back on the field in ten to 15 mins

Wasn't it great to see his team spirit tho?

Injured in the first 28 minutes. Manages to put it out of his mind, walk out of his oxygen tent, and come on for Marx's Yellow Card.
