Boks v Wobblies I

That was great, congratulations to the Wallabies. I hope the next game is as exciting. Go the All Blacks!

Just watched the replay --
Boks looked unstoppable for first 18 - 20 mins ..The box kicking was very accurate and put all kinds of pressure on the Wallabies. Then they noticeably started tiring up front - I feel BOK (ref) insisting on a fast game aided this.
To keep Boks scoreless in second 40 was impressive, big efforts by Aussie back row with some key turnovers.
Boks discipline was very poor with repeated infringements -- TRC is wide open now.

@Smuts good luck Smuts
Shot mate. Didn’t need luck as it turned out. They defended about as poorly as the Boks must’ve in the second half. Got a lot of sad looks and commiserations from the boys as I came off the field and was genuinely bamboozled. I mean, I wasn’t Carter in the 2nd Lions test, but we still put up the half ton.
I guess this game goes into the tiny number of bok tests I’ve never watched.

That in my opinion, was probably best I have seen Wallabies play. They were pretty impressive, and by same token the Boks seemed to just crumble when pressure came on. Wallabies also showed the benefit of a good hard series against Lions. That was a warning for us all for Wallabies this year.
-
Watching delayed and saw the perfect example of when a ref should just ping a bloke rather than warning him. We had that discussion earlier in the year. Can't remember who with. Was in a Drua match in Fiji.
If the half dummies just ping him Ben. He knows it's wrong. It doesn't need a warning.

Well if ya don't put them away when you should and keep letting the wounded in, that's what happens. South Africa have themselves to blame for that capitulation, turning down 3s, a needless intercept which changed the game completely, it was one hell of a collapse caused by themselves lol. It reminded me of Bledisloe 1 last year, where we were cruising and then got ourselves stuck and ended up almost losing the test where we had no right to (if it went another 10 mins, we would have).
Credit to the Wallabies, they hung tough and outlasted the Boks fitness wise.

@delicatessen My bad. I realised I’d mistyped, but after @smuts had taken the bait so magnificently, there seemed little point in correcting!

Inadvertently misspelled it right.

I can't remember a worse five-eighth performance. Libbok was dreadful.
Apparently that's the first Wallaby victory at Ellis Park since 1963?
