Stadium barely looks half full.

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

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.

[reprobate]

@Nepia isn't it only 2 test matches? or, i guess, 2 test matches less 10 minutes?

[Chris B.]

Boks in front, but the Wallabies have been playing more rugby.

[nostrildamus]

@Chris-B. I dont know the Wallabies backline doesnt look very cohesive at times.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Obviously this isn't anything new but fark Maaaardo is an arseclown.

[Mattasaurus]

fuck sake " its a funny one, its not a shoulder charge" aussie commentator fluffybunnies

[nostrildamus]

@Mattasaurus yeah Owens seems IMO to be reffing quite well but the commentators would have you believe he is cooking small children..

[Mattasaurus]

solid reffing from a quality ref.... "common sense" lkol imagine if it was a black jersey doing that

He does seem to keep a calm head ... few exceptions over the years but generally one of the top 3 for some time
