Today we had the much awaited match between the Wallabies and the Springboks, taking place at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Wallabies won convincingly, 21 / 6
The Wallabies came out firing from the first whistle, playing the better game, throughout the match. They scored first, through a Giteau penalty and stayed in front right to the end.
Initally it was trading penalties and drop goals and a hard physical battle. The Wallabies scored two tries, first by Ashley Cooper, and then near the end, one by James O’Conner.
The Springboks never crossed the allabie try line.
One important record was achieved by Morne Sten, becomming the Bok player to score the fastest 100 points in the history of the game, beating the record Jannie de Beer, who (Jannie) scored his 100 from 9 Tests.

@Supa Die Bloubul – Die WP ou.
@grootblousmile – Is the Rugby Talk Tavern open for business…..
Large coffee please!
299 @Pietman – kry vir BJ of CJ.
@Journo-Lion – Habana het sy WP trui gaan aanpas 🙄
302@carol – We do NOT do coffee here…. hehehe
@Journo-Lion – @K9-MonsterLeeu –
Dankie
@Supa Die Bloubul – jy moet maar altyd vra as jy iets van rugby will weet
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Of enige van ons Leeus ouens..hehe
This game is way to close for comfort.
Woblies look the better side in fact. Far more committed i thought. Lots of loose/open play cause ref is VERY leniant.
We got to adept to his style of blowing and very fast, or we’re gonna die…..
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
hehehe…dankie, my internet het vinnig uitgesny. Kingpaul se sy krag is af!!! Shame!
Very hard, tight game
“You get bad scrummers or….uhm…you get good scrummers” said Naas
@grootblousmile – 305 – I’m in trouble then! Jeripico or setslaps are not for me. Beer will do!
I opened my Kudu biltong yesterday….very good.
Why does Juan not wear his scrum cap anymore? I thought he was a bit prone to head injuries?
@grootblousmile – “Very hard” and “tight” sounds like another game I’m fond of……
I here the first part all the time…. 🙂
313@carol – How’s about a Tequila ?
Or a screwdriver..
I have some beer too.. Castle…
@grootblousmile – Taiwan lager pal en vinnig ook, dis nail biting stuff. Ek is so gewoond dat ons score as Jean daai breke vat, shit man. Kom bokke!!!!!!!
This ref is totally, totally useless. Aferwatching some of the replays he is letting them away with far, far too much.
Pity about that try just before halftime there.
@Journo-Lion – 312 – Naas was no Confuscious !! 😉
Nou net afrond in die 2de helfte.
Very nice tackle from JS.
Nice hit captain!
@grootblousmile – Cold Castle please Webmonster….
Shame Morne, would have been some good points gained there.
Manne, ek is meer bekommerd oor die ref. FDP is nie ‘n ongeduldige ou nie, en jy kan duidelik sien hy is gefrustreerd met die ref.
Juan got a good black eye coming on!
@Supa Die Bloubul – Hey Supa, my pa se ek moet hom roep as jy iets wil weet oor rugby 😉
@Journo-Lion –
Se vir hom Earl Rose sy hero is kuk! 😆
@bdb – Yeah and according to the ozzie comentry the ref is great.
Genia is injured… tough old game !
I still cant understand why you would even touch someone in the air. You ALWAYS get penalised.
