Clear communicator this ref.

Good maul try

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.

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.

Passed well, kicked well, nice dabs to turn them around. Looks composed enough.

Been ok.

Not great.

But ok.

All the officials need to look at the green scrum - feet are way too far back and they're not chasing up

Totally. Malherbe.

[ACT Crusader]

Quade lining up in front for the penalty.

Oz lead 16-11.

[booboo]

Quade...

Kicked all his goals

Nope. Can't end a maul with a tackle
