Penalty went the wrong way there, JDV didn't release the tackler

 

[Sam Owen]

the saffers are a bit dull it's just their ancients that make them dull

lol

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bok lineout is quality tonight

 

[Sam Owen]

dat should be the last wallaby lineout...its not working its a turnover

 

[lynam1104]

[lynam1104]

chilboy is playing well

hard

 

[Sam Owen]

hard=kiwi slang for hardout meaning agreed

 

[lynam1104]

jp has just sealed it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good try by Pieterson there!
From the first turnover of the match.

Brilliant match!
Scoreline flatters the Boks, take away Pietersons converted try and that'd be a more accurate representation,
Shame AAC missed his two tries (overrunning JOC and when Hougaard smashed him and he knocked on)

 

[lynam1104]

What a bloody good game had evry thing a billion tries intesen atmosphere and runing rugby

goonnite everbody

 

[Intercept King JDV]

Wow what a great game of running rugby!Credit to the Wallabies for their start and to the Boks for fighting their way back and restricting Aus to only 3 points in the 2nd half.And for the 1st time in a very long while the ref was consistent, so don't expect a lot of moaning and whining from us Bok supporters after tonight..Just one thing though...

Do any of you think Genia will be sited for the "tip tackle"(spear tackle) on Jaque Fourie?

I'm very worried about AUIs after seeing the last 3 games.

Do any of you think Genia will be sited for the "tip tackle"(spear tackle) on Jaque Fourie?

I think so, yes

But i also think Steyn should be for the high tackle on Giteau(?)

 

[Intercept King JDV]

I think so, yes

But i also think Steyn should be for the high tackle on Giteau(?)

I think Steyn's high tackle on JOC(think so) was more of a reflex action than anything malicious, was high and you could say dangerous but not siting material IMO...Genia should at least get 1-2 weeks.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't think Genias was intentional either though, just that the player had so much momentum when Genia hit him he carried on through the air when he tried to drive him backwards,
I think if one is cited the other should be, as both were potentially very nasty (luckily neither player was injured) - and, imo, neither was intentional

 

[Sker]

Am I the only one still feeling there is something wrong with the Boks? and does anyone think that this thing is Dick Muir?

 

[Jer1cho]

What a crap game of rugby. If we had played against New Zealand like that we would have lost 100-0. Australia's inexperience was exposed, as they failed to close a game that they should have easily. Habana needs to GTFO of this team. You CANNOT afford to do the **** that he has been doing at international level. Aplon is way better than Habana is at the moment. Juan de Jongh needs to partner Jaque Fourie.

Juan Smith MOTM in my opinion. He is just an incredible player.
Fourie was good.
Hougaard has cemented his place at 9, and when FdP is back, he needs to start at wing. he is too good to leave out.
Chilliboy had a huge impact. Stupid coach only realizes now that Smit is not an 80min player anymore. Idiot coach.
Francois Steyn is terribly unfit.
JPP was good.
Kankowski still needs to start ahead of Spies.

Our back-line play is woeful though. Our coaching staff are really clueless.

 

[Duckdee]

Fantasticc game for us neutrals. Hougaard did look good, as did Mitchell.

 

[Sparty]

Do any of you think Genia will be sited for the "tip tackle"(spear tackle) on Jaque Fourie?

No , cos it was not a tip tackle , it was a tackle and fourie dived for the line. Having said that there has been times when players were sites for less offences so we will have to wait and see.
