Expected the Boks to give Oz a real mullering after last week but really impressed with the Oz performance.
Either the Boks are weak or the Bledisloe will be in serious danger this year.
Bledisloe is going to be epic.
With a win in SA, and playing Argentina at home (very realistic 2 wins - this will be the real indicator, if they can put the Argies away).
The Wallabies could walk away with both Rugby Championship and the Bledisloe.I wouldn’t be surprised if the wallabies value the bledisloe above the rugby championship and throw everything at that .
And then with the boks supposedly wanting the eden park record , we have some tough matches ahead for certain.

Pretty happy with that from the Wallabies. Looked with 10 to go like we might pinch it, which would have been just amazing considering our injury toll.
Forwards played with so much heart. Our tactic seemed to be 'try and beat them up close to the ruck', which against the Boks in SA seems like a death wish. But jeez did it almost work! Valetini, Skelton, Hooper, Tupou all great shifts in the tight stuff.
Would have loved to pinch the win but it was still a good watch, great physical rugby from both teams.

During the week Rassie made a sly dig about the Wallabies playing "a style that I don't think will win the next world cup".
Particularly funny given he went back to a style that won him the last 2, in order to save face at home.
Anyway saw the highlights. Pitch looked like shit. Bit of chaos ball from both sides return kicking being the mainstay

The over use of the midfield bomb was well and truely back.
The JOC missed kick was a critical turning point I thought.
Overall a decent game and Pollard made a big difference for the Boks. The forward were pretty even.

JOC is is the Wallabies version of Libbok.
Harsh
He was instrumental in Australia winning the match last week
Think he took a knock

@NTA Mate did you watched the two WCs. Two totally different oppositions and play style.
Did you watch them?
Big tight five forwards with limited fitness and kick for the sky. That's the plan. It worked and good on them.

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
