Boks vs Wallabies 2
-
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.

JOC is is the Wallabies version of Libbok.
Harsh

Think he took a knock

He did - it was quite close to me in the stands. Looked like he was in considerable discomfort (leg / knee) and I actually thought he'd be subbed.
Played on bravely but it is possible it affected his kicking. Most unlike him to miss so many of those last attempts. -
Having White off so early hurt the Wallabies structures quite a bit.
Oh and Doleman gets a knock on call blatantly wrong. Right in front of him

Nic White was a real thorn in the Bok side - losing him was not helpful for the Wallabies. -

Would be a penalty, sin bin, and on report for the judiciary

I'd have to watch the replay - it was all happening at such speed I didn't notice anything untoward live.
But yeah - JOC was sore after that. -

@Billy-Webb it's at about 48::45 game clock coverage on Super Sport's feed. Just after Bell comes on.

@antipodean I am old school Boet, Kiwis did that also in the past, so I dont understand why you dude me?
I am from the Winelands and blaming the ref after a loss, is sour grapes and only make you feel more depressed.

You slandered an entire country when yours has a well deserved reputation for fuckwittery. It matters not to my point that space in that clown car isn't reserved for you.
