Not that we didn't know already but the $6million man is a bloody whinger of a captain. He was carrying on after he was tackled in the air late in the game. Something along the lines of "what if i had landed on my head?" He was barely off the ground and landed fine.
The clown has really perfected their victim mentality game. Not being shit at rugby should be next on his list.

Not sure the two concepts mesh particularly well

@pukunui I'm not a fan of Glen Jackson but I thought he handled Hooper's whinging really well. His retort put Hooper in his place. Would've been justified in reversing the penalty too.

The test next week will be interesting ,

Has there ever been a bigger gap between the two sides as to what there appears to be right now ?

Watched a bit of this last night. Seemed a significant step down from the AB Argie game ... gave up after 20 minutes with crappy handling. Doesn't sound like I missed too much.

That said, any win against the Boks is always sweet. They always seem to be one of the harder sides to put away. We'll miss BBBR too

We lost our three best players on the eve of the game (one of which was just an hour before KO), so my expectations were low.

It wasn't pretty, but I'm really happy we got the W. We bloody needed it, and somehow found a way to eke it out.

The Boks were just dire, and it's hard to see how they get within 50 this week.

We've become a team that can drag an opponent down to our level

This game is a comedy of errors.

and that is what I chose to watch instead of the Aussies (https://popupglobe.com.au/)

Did the Boks really need that dragging?

@sapetyvi it's my theory

Sure - all through 2000 - 2003. We got up for a few but by and large there was a massive gulf in class.
