Blaming the ref after a loss is so Aussie.
It is so VERY South African to jump in and make that sort of comment when I've talked about literally one decision early in the game.
I'm certainly not about to go making a 40 minute video ranting about how my country is the victim of decisions and implying racism is the root cause

Dude.
Revealed: Horrific Wayne Barnes abuse that led him to consider retirement
The level of Wayne Barnes abuse has been laid bare by the match official as he talked of messages aimed at his family, on The Good, The Bad, The Rugby

I was at the game and haven't watched a TV replay, so I can't comment on any of the tight calls.
Of course I am happy with the Bok win.
BUT - at no point did I feel confident. I thought the Wallabies were excellent and but for a few missed kicks, this result could have looked different.
I don't know whether it is Boks being weak, or the Aussies being strong, but from what I saw, the Wallabies won the forward exchanges. Parity in the scrums - excepting one penalty - superb in the lineout, and better than the Boks at the breakdown. Take the Bok forwards out of the game and then we are vulnerable.
My respect to Aussie.Hopefully the Boks can build on this, and fast, otherwise the 2 games in NZ are going to be tough to watch.

JOC is is the Wallabies version of Libbok.
Harsh
He was instrumental in Australia winning the match last week
Think he took a knock
He did - it was quite close to me in the stands. Looked like he was in considerable discomfort (leg / knee) and I actually thought he'd be subbed.
Played on bravely but it is possible it affected his kicking. Most unlike him to miss so many of those last attempts. -

Having White off so early hurt the Wallabies structures quite a bit.
Oh and Doleman gets a knock on call blatantly wrong. Right in front of him
I assume you're watching the game now?
Nic White was a real thorn in the Bok side - losing him was not helpful for the Wallabies. -
@antipodean I am old school Boet, Kiwis did that also in the past, so I dont understand why you dude me?
I am from the Winelands and blaming the ref after a loss, is sour grapes and only make you feel more depressed.

Played on bravely but it is possible it affected his kicking. Most unlike him to miss so many of those last attempts.In Rugby League language, that was a fairly ordinary hip-drop tackle by Kolbe.
Would be a penalty, sin bin, and on report for the judiciary
