But in reality nothing in it between Boks and ABs.

Wellington would suggest somewhat otherwise.......

I don't think there is that much between the Boks and the ABs in terms of player ability, skill and athleticism, but the Boks are the better led side by some distance on and off the field at the moment.

Yep - I don't trust our current coaching staff to out smart the Boks right now.

NZ, living in Hope BC, Canada these days (its where they filmed Rambo, First Blood) - was in Vancouver for 11 years, and then got out of the city into the sticks 2 years ago. Love it.

Wallabies goal line D much superior than ours.

Roigard + Dmac Magic Time

Parker into everything

That kick sealed Beauden's selection for the rest of the year

Chiefs forwards yeah boy

Congrats both teams. Enjoyed that.

Rugby Championship has finally arrived.

@W32 said in Wallabies v Los Pumas I:

How did this Aussie side beat SA at Ellis park. I’m starting to think SA are not very good

I think it's more the Pumas are the real deal.

Well shit here we go.

Please for the love of god, just play a "keep it simple" / territorial game, remain patient, let the occasion at home give us the upper hand and energy to defend our hearts out.

I fear within the first 5 mins, I'm going to shouting what the fuck was that. Prove me wrong boys.

What's Dave Rennie up to?

Or let's get McMillan back

@Victor-Meldrew said in Boks vs Wallabies 2:

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.

Here we go again?

It feels like we're willing to give opportunities to players in the forwards - start even,
but remain super conservative in the backs even though we're flakey.

Happy with the intent in this final 20. Man in the bin and Argies score. And we respond.

Looks like the French Series is paying dividends.

Is Schmidt definitely done after the RC?

6 unanswered tries against world #1 side in their bacjyard. Well done Wallabies. Fun team to watch.

Can the Wallabies do what we can't last year and close out a win in SA
