    Having said that for some reason it iccurred to me recently that we hadn't heard any of Keohane's batshit crazy shit stirring for a few years. Makes me feel all nostalgic.

    Anyone been on his forum recently?

    All the time. Highly entertaining. At heart he’s a sports fan first, a patriot second and a journalist third, so as much as I ridicule him regularly, I kinda like the guy.

      Elton threw that game away. A terrible ten.

      de Klerk was just as bad and made some critical mistakes at the end.

      The problem with the Boks is that they resorted to route one so often that when they finally decided to use their backs they made schoolboy errors. Taking a scrum at the end wasn't the right option as long as Aust made their tackles. Even though the penalty was in the middle kick to the corner and back your lineout drive.

          Not that we didn't know already but the $6million man is a bloody whinger of a captain. He was carrying on after he was tackled in the air late in the game. Something along the lines of "what if i had landed on my head?" He was barely off the ground and landed fine.
          The clown has really perfected their victim mentality game. Not being shit at rugby should be next on his list.

            Not sure the two concepts mesh particularly well

              @pukunui I'm not a fan of Glen Jackson but I thought he handled Hooper's whinging really well. His retort put Hooper in his place. Would've been justified in reversing the penalty too.

                The test next week will be interesting ,

                Has there ever been a bigger gap between the two sides as to what there appears to be right now ?

                  Watched a bit of this last night. Seemed a significant step down from the AB Argie game ... gave up after 20 minutes with crappy handling. Doesn't sound like I missed too much.

                  That said, any win against the Boks is always sweet. They always seem to be one of the harder sides to put away. We'll miss BBBR too

                    We lost our three best players on the eve of the game (one of which was just an hour before KO), so my expectations were low.

                    It wasn't pretty, but I'm really happy we got the W. We bloody needed it, and somehow found a way to eke it out.

                    The Boks were just dire, and it's hard to see how they get within 50 this week.

                        This game is a comedy of errors.

                        and that is what I chose to watch instead of the Aussies (https://popupglobe.com.au/)

                              Sure - all through 2000 - 2003. We got up for a few but by and large there was a massive gulf in class.
