Ruck and maul penalties are going to kill Aus

Is that idiot SA centre not wearing a mouth guard and chewing gum

Yup. Only ABs pros have to wear guards, NZR rule

[booboo]

PT?

How did he not score that?

I say the deterioration in mastering the fundamentals before elevation to national level is not unique to the Harmless Wallabies. The All Blacks are the exception.

[antipodean]

This ref is the opposite of Nic Berry.

If you're reading this Nic, that's not a compliment.

[ACT Crusader]

Rugby would be dead if that was a PT

[Kirwan]

Clear communicator this ref.

Good maul try

[delicatessen]

I like how loud the ref and tmo are on this broadcast

Luke Pearce is excellent. Best around at the moment IMHO.

[booboo]

Loves a good maul.

Shame it's the badder guys

[ACT Crusader]

Good hit back by Boks. Back to full complement and now OZ down to 14. Oz lead 13-11 as Pollard misses conversion.

Good test match.

[Victor Meldrew]

A maul like that can be a thing of beauty.

[Rebound]

@kirwan I cannot see how no 5 collapse the maul. If he is part of the maul and legal. He is allowed to tackle the ball carrier. So I'm confused how it's even a penalty

[booboo]

Good attacking lineout

[nostrildamus]

@act-crusader thanks for the updates

[Canes4life]

Pass the ball out De Klerk, you greedy little f&#k.

[chimoaus]

Faf keeps his hands in the ball a long time at the base of the ruck. I almost wish the ref called out once the HB touches the ball so the defenders dont have to second guess.

What's quade done so far? Haven't seen much good or bad

You can't collapse a maul. It has always been this way. Regardless if the play you tackle to bring down the maul has the ball.

Quick offload in leadup to first try, kicked a few goals.
