30-13 with a minute on the clock. Safe to say Aus is home.

All over. Boks pride battered again? Or were the Wallos outstanding?

by skully on Sat 24 Jul 2010, 00:51

Aus ran the ball at every opportunity and caught the Boks out regularly hence the huge number of penalty goals (6).

That's not exactly huge for the Boks - outside South Africa at least. Wink

It sounds like good tactics from Oz anyway. Did their homework.

As they did against NZ in the WC a few years back, when Lomu was in his prime and the ABs looked unbeatable. Marked closely, tackled like furies, and threw sand in the well-oiled juggernaut gears and wheels that day. Different tactics, but sound homework and training again.

Wallabies, better team on the day.

P!sspoor NH refereing yet again, but didn't alter the result.

FFS, Cooper suspended for 2 weeks.

Yeah. Not great news. It takes a great flyhalf performance to beat the blecks & we've got them twice with Cooper out.

Fourie was also suspended. Annoyingly, I haven't caught a mention of Berger being cited.

WTF is a rugby scrum going to do to that indoor paddock in melbourne?

It's bad huh? I haven't watched anything played there. Maybe the blecks won't notice that Cooper's not playing.

And the Kiwis are used to playing on slippery tracks too. Good news week.

Players couldn't keep their feet when changing direction, some even slipped when they planted their foot to kick.

Some talking heads suggested that the worst patches were on the flanks so it wouldn't effect the rugger but I saw enough incidents down the guts for it to be a worry

Actually the bitching in the paper this morning suggested the worst area was slap bang in the middle of the field and huge.
