Wallabies v Springboks

@Tordah said in Wallabies v Springboks:

I love Springboks vs Wallabies tests,, rugby test matches I can relaxedly watch. Like the Springboks players & team in general more (as how they come across in the media), so will be rooting for them. And that's despite their racist transformation crap. And Cheika just irks me somehow.

Word of the day, "relaxedly"

I support the Wallabies in these fixtures, but the way they are being coached and the poor tactics and performance of the players leaves a lot to be desired.

I used to support the Wallabies against the Boks but not anymore. These days the wobs are incredibly unlikeable.

Biggest bunch of plums in world rugby at the moment.

@Damo

Uncouth, uncultured, unsporting etc.

All the cliches you associate with being Australian are brought out by Cheika's approach.

It's clear the NZ team don't rate them for post-match drinks either.

cripple fight!

I can't even feign indignation at that comment given how completely pants the Boks look at the moment.
I am anticipating a lot of head bashing and brutal confrontations - and that's just referring to me watching at home and the family having to put up with it.

Betting odds with Betfair are

Australia 1.61
South Africa 2.88
Draw 29

If I was a betting man I would go with South Africa, disclaimer have not seen SA play in this Championship series, however Aus are off some very ordinary form here.

Saffas have a history of bottling it in Australia, so I expect a Wallabies win and the team being lauded as a team on the rise again

[Kruse]

@Siam The ABs had a history of bottlin' it in Australia, and we nailed it. I don't have any expectations, but am hoping for a Springbok-a-humpin'-a-Wallaby, and Ocker media losing their shit, finally panicking as they should be.

Those who bought tickets probably bought them months ago. Poor bastards.

[Mattasaurus]

Chekias tears are so sweet

[Tordah]

Boks nearly butchered that

[reprobate]

the ref really shafted the aussies there. shepherding isn't okay just because somebody else makes the tackle - momentum matters.

[Mattasaurus]

Kaffer talking sense yet again in the face of martos bullocks

[reprobate]

genia is playing the best footy he has in quite a few years.

[ACT Crusader]

A bit more urgency in attack from the Wallabies both at the ruck and when the ball is spread.

Rubbish pass though from Foley, straight to Strauss.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

I am ever so happy now - I just remembered that Gordon Bray broadcasts these matches on Ten and switched. Kafer was sending me to sleep - where was Kearns?

[Mattasaurus]

Owens is a quality ref, I really enjoy his communication with the players

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

The Springboks' coach has had a secret meeting with Owens I see - that decision on Bono will go in the box as a righteous excuse if needed for the Wallaby post game blame routine.

[Nepia]

Coleman in - is that the first constructive piece of rugby he's played in three test matches?

[nostrildamus]

@Nepia yes probably. Both teams look a bit scrappy so far.
