ok, check off …. and hope lesson learned (better now, than in one year’s time ….)

conclusion: the boks do NOT have the 3 best teams in the world, they may have THE best team, but the “second string” has yet to rise ….

besides, I am sure the ABs will win their games against the Wallabies 20+

Very well may have to eat my words here 🤐

8min left two tries. Think last I saw was against the all blacks years ago.

Well that had to come. Wallabies should have had another yellow but so be it.

That's the game. I am shocked by the shocking display from the boks. Congratulations Wallabies. Well deserved. I understand we can’t win everything but to lose like this I am sorry it’s worse than schoolboy rugby standards.

From bad to worse. Shocking from South Africa. Australia look the better team by far.

So far rather disappointing from the boks hopefully the subs make a positive impact.

I will refrain from comment. I really thought the boks would be better than this.

A good score from a bullsh1t penalty to the wallabies.

God. What head contact?


Clear head contact? Not even a penalty.


So tired of TMOs. They do realise they don’t HAVE to feature every game, do they?

B

Springboks look a little disjointed especially the defensive play. Making a meal of things at times. Hopefully it improves or an upset could be on the cards.

Is this the first time the Wallabies have seen a maul?

This one could be closer than we think. The boks could win it.

B

Yes I think it’s going to be tough for the Springboks but good to see some new players and combinations. How well it works we will soon see.
