Boks v Wobblies I
-
I wasn’t able to watch yesterday but caught the score. Now 20 mins into the game and trying to come up with a movie reference or some kind of sports comparison to reflect on how it turns out.
Boks fans dancing in the stands right now.
Update: Mexican wave at 23:30.

Not sure why the Boks decided to play touch footy instead of just bashing us.
Next week is going to be wayyyyy different

Once they got early success maybe they just fell in love with high tempo rugby, and couldn't revert back to plan A when it started going sideways?

I've only seen the highlights but bloody hell what a start for SA and what a bloody turnaround from Aus.
2 points of surprise for me:-
- I thought Nic White had retired?
- The clear out by Nche in the lead up to the first try had echoes of Morgan's clear out but nothing mentioned/whined about?
-
Only watched the highlights but just saw a tweet, did the Boks really do the midfield lineout with 8 mins to go whilst 11 points behind?!

Surely one of those Aussie back 3 have some kiwi heritage?
What a joy to see them running in space like that.
Cracking game, I thought SA would win by 60 after 10 mins. The mental game to stay in that contest was incredible.
I think T2 will be really tight. These Aussies have belief now.

Too many steroids
The boks aerobic fitness was awful, the faster pace of super rugby this year might have helped the aussies
Replacement THP looked a candidate for the dietician.

He’s already lost 17kg!

They convinced White to come back after Gordon was injured.
-
Just not going near ruck clean outs ...

I watched the replay on Stan this morning
After 10mins I’d heard the names White and Hooper and JOC, and I had to wonder if I’d accidentally put on a replay of a game from 10 years ago!

Once they got early success maybe they just fell in love with high tempo rugby, and couldn't revert back to plan A when it started going sideways?

Which shows that Etzebeth is a shit captain, and Libbok is a shit flyhalf.

And I realise all the fucking Boklodytes will want to shove those words down my throat when they win next week, but the point stands: like Lions Test 2, you gave up a handy lead and dominant position, and those 2 were responsible, being in charge at the time

@NTA that’s what happens when your captain can’t last more than 45 mins. ABs take note
I don't get why - Kolisi looks fit as fuck and should be bossing it for 80 like Ardie does.
Yeah sure Bomb Squad but fmd he's a good player - is someone on that bench honestly better than him in terms of play and/or leadership?

Just caught the extended highlights, that was so much fun to watch. Well done Wallabies! Man I wish Schmidt was our coach

Have always said, he would have been ideal as the senior mentor (only one with international experience) in razors coaching team or as the AB head coach
