Next week will be 3 in a row for the Saffas away from home. That means we have a chance of winning.
:rolleyes:
Hmmm.. I put a hex on that game, didn't I?Quote:

^^ I hope you don't place bets based on your predictions, remember you calling the Lions to win the series 3-0?
Congrats to the Aussies, you could see that they wanted it more and really had a greater intensity. I am worried that the Boks wont have enough in the tank to take NZ in NZ. Looks like I will be rooting for Aussies the week after!
^ Thanks Boet and yes they finally put it all together tonight even though their line outs are shite.
In fact I might predict that this side at an average age of 24 will stick it up the other SH sides for years to come.
I would expect Bob and all the other NH skirts were in awe of the performance and yes Marmite thanks for your support. :)
Exactly, hence my shout for the ABs in the next game.Quote:

England are not playing tonight"Quote:

Certainly a heartening win- the new blood made last weeks old stagers look well past their sell by date. Impressed by the new halfback- they should've given him a run before. The forwards actually dominated the Boks, lineouts excepted- amazing. A wallabie prop was man of the match. :)
Still too much dropped ball & wasted moves though- plenty of room for improvement.
Wish I was there mate, lucky you! :)Quote:

Only downside is Pocock a S/AFRICAN OR ZIMBABWEAN?????:aus:
So why is he not playing for England, or is that just for cricket? :confused:Quote:

The Wallabies absolutely dominated them across the park and even though they lost 3 or 4 lineouts.Quote:

People also forget that the Aussies had 3 bonus points and before the start of last nights game and largely they have beaten themselves with silly undisciplined decisions and mistakes at critical moments during the earlier games.
The gap between the 3 best sides in the world is minuscule making the Tri- Nations still the premier Rugby fixture on the annual calender by a country mile.
1 game left will the Boks get the point they need? The A/B'S will not make it easy for them. LAST MATCH DECIDER,WONDER WHO THE wALLIBIES WILL ROOTING FOR?:cmn:Quote:

That was the key for me. There was a noticeable venom from the Aussies in the collision zones last night.Quote:

amusing.......one win and the world is rosey in Wallaby land....
You mean Giteau kicking field goals in the first half.....55555555Quote:

The difference is they moved to a prime field position by way of wide ball movement not boring as fvck rolling mauls alla Woodward > little Jonny.
As an Aussie I have not been disheartened by the Aussie Rugby team this year and knew they were one game away from a great win.
