Wallabies vs Springboks 2

[antipodean]

Lolesio misses a sitter to take the lead into halftime.

If the Boks weren't busy self sabotaging, they'd be three scores ahead.

[sparky]

11-9 to the Boks at half time.

@antipodean said in Wallabies vs Springboks 2:

I'd prefer refs just tell teams to play and award a freekick against them if they delay. Or penalise them for having waterboys on the field.

A simple deterrent.

As @KiwiMurph posted, the field is sub-standard.

[sparky]

Oz tackling at 94%. An excellent effort.

Boks struggling unusually at set piece.

But their athleticism remains mighty impressive, even when they are playing a bit off.

[antipodean]

Maul try as a direct result of the WW2 pilot gifting the Boks another 10m for not releasing the ball.

[antipodean]

Conversion successful.

9 - 16

[antipodean]

Koroibete is a bit of a liability too. Must be the most penalised player on the field.

[sparky]

Boks in. Kick good. 9-18.

That feels like a big turning point.

[sparky]

Dumb from Nick White in the build- up to the try.

[KiwiMurph]

Does Habana have a second eye?

[antipodean]

How does White taking out Am in the air not get penalised?

[nostrildamus]

How tall is Paul Williams? When he stood next to the locks in the lineout I thought I was watching the new holiday smash "Honey, I shrunk the ref!"

[antipodean]

Here's a surprise. Slipper on the field long enough for Alaalatoa to have a rest.

[KiwiMurph]

Time for retire James

[antipodean]

Golden oldies scrums as the Wallabies make a further mockery of the game.

[Tordah]

So many stoppages

[KiwiMurph]

Isn't there a sideline official whose job is to sort this shit out?

[sparky]

18-12 to the Boks.

One of the slowest Tests I can remember.

[KiwiMurph]

Another awful kick

[sparky]

Put the Boks under any sort of pressure and they slow it down.

Their utter cynicism will make the sport unwatchable and eventually financially bankrupt.

World Rugby needs to crack down on their antics and crack down hard.
