Boks vs Wallabies 2
-
During the week Rassie made a sly dig about the Wallabies playing "a style that I don't think will win the next world cup".
Particularly funny given he went back to a style that won him the last 2, in order to save face at home.
Anyway saw the highlights. Pitch looked like shit. Bit of chaos ball from both sides return kicking being the mainstay

The over use of the midfield bomb was well and truely back.
The JOC missed kick was a critical turning point I thought.
Overall a decent game and Pollard made a big difference for the Boks. The forward were pretty even.

JOC is is the Wallabies version of Libbok.
Harsh
He was instrumental in Australia winning the match last week
Think he took a knock

@NTA Mate did you watched the two WCs. Two totally different oppositions and play style.
Did you watch them?
Big tight five forwards with limited fitness and kick for the sky. That's the plan. It worked and good on them.

@NTA you should watch the quarter-final against France Boet. If that was an unfit team, you must be dreaming.

Blaming the ref after a loss is so Aussie. Move on, your team played some great rugby and deserve more then blaming the ref.

It is so VERY South African to jump in and make that sort of comment when I've talked about literally one decision early in the game.
I'm certainly not about to go making a 40 minute video ranting about how my country is the victim of decisions and implying racism is the root cause
-
@OomPB Nche and Mbongi in particular can't go more than a few minutes of continuous play without faking an injury.
You can argue with the facts, but you'd be wrong.

I was at the game and haven't watched a TV replay, so I can't comment on any of the tight calls.
Of course I am happy with the Bok win.
BUT - at no point did I feel confident. I thought the Wallabies were excellent and but for a few missed kicks, this result could have looked different.
I don't know whether it is Boks being weak, or the Aussies being strong, but from what I saw, the Wallabies won the forward exchanges. Parity in the scrums - excepting one penalty - superb in the lineout, and better than the Boks at the breakdown. Take the Bok forwards out of the game and then we are vulnerable.
My respect to Aussie.Hopefully the Boks can build on this, and fast, otherwise the 2 games in NZ are going to be tough to watch.
