Wallabies v Springboks 2 - Sydney

[Rapido]

I recall having these discussions before on here, usually with not much agreement (but I appreciate the MikeTheSnow likes for my current crusade.... )

So, I did a search for my interest, and there's several, usually also of me referencing myself from my previous times. So, why not add to it.

I notice, this gripe was also with BO'K allowing it.

This was from the 57-0 thrashing match:

and from last week:

I would be interested in how @NTA sees David Rennie as a coach,And the Aussie rugby public rate him.
Is he making a difference building towards the WC
Are you guys improving under him, Stagnating or going backwards.

I think he's doing about as well as you could expect, given the personnel provided by our rubbish development systems.

Could anyone do better? Nope.

Yes, all of the above!

Good to see. Those teams not known for rapport. Point of difference with round ball.

Aren't they? Maybe we just haven't seen it before.

There was a move particularly in the SH to get back to something like a post-match function from memory. We saw videos last year of the Wallabies presenting A Smith with a framed thing for his 100th as an example.

ABs have been pushing this since Hansen, it’s good to see it spread

He was happy to shake hands.

Saved myself the #booboo by checking replies.

According to Bruno and AAA what goes on the field....

Belated watch of second half.

Not much in it. Injuries buggered Aussie backline, and the way the half went hampered what looked to me like opportunity against tiring Boks.

As it was, BOK’s refereeing mid half left a lot to be desired. Nine consecutive penalties including seven around 22 only gave way to warning, when a yellow was warranted. Then TMO call for relieving penalty. Wallabies might well have expected to have scored a try after all that at around 60, and at 10-17 would have made it more interesting.

As was, Boks’ mugging of Gold in H1 was always likely to be decisive.
