The World Champions are being outplayed (and sometimes out-muscled) for the second consecutive time in a week by the 5th ranked team. Ouchy ouch.

First time it was the 7th ranked team

yeah not sure if they pass Ireland on Monday (the Wallabies that is).
Wales is not much higher than Japan..

Kwagga Smith has been good since he has been on.

Problem is he's three lone Ranger - some Wallabies fans want us to play Valetini and Naisarani together but then Hooper has to double his workload

1 South Africa 90.95 (-1.54)
2 New Zealand 90.31
3 (↑5) Australia 85.65 (+1.54)
4 (↓3) England 85.44
5 (↓4) Ireland 84.85

As it stands...

What do we have to do against Argentina to get ahead?

They all look like they haven't been playing at the top level. Leaving Super will make this worse not better

This is a very good point.

That's unfortunate.

He was considered a future great midfielder just before the last RWC?

If SA score a try to deny a bonus point, we could wrap up the rugby championship tonight with a bonus point win.

Kwagga Smith has been good since he has been on.

Runs hard. Coughed the ball up cold when the Boks were on attack in their 22

[NTA]

I'm conflicted about not straight throws when the defenders don't contest. No matter who does it

[chimoaus]

Fuck SA have been dire tonight.

Was about to say the same thing. If you don't contest, they can throw it where they want.

At least some effort,some of the bok forwards have been soft.
