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.

400!!!!
@grootblousmile – That Hurts !!!
Err mmmm….I said it earlier in the comp,and as recently as last week again, AB’s are going to win the Tri.
I still have that feeling after today’s game.
403@carol – Yip, it hurts like hell !
Argghhh damnit !
I have a feeling Brussow will be replaced by Schalla for the next game!
Well done Australia. Boks going to have to win in Hamilton now and thats going to be very tough. Or pick up a bonus point.
Wayne Barnes allowed to them to get away with murder today. Probably the most useless ref on the planet. Should NEVER be allowed to ref at this level again.
Boks too should have played a tighter game.
@Pietman –
Nee man, ons gaan hulle keer. Hulle gaan nie 4 driee teen ons en die aussies druk nie. Bokke kan dit nog doen!
@Pietman – Same here.
Congratulations to the Aussies, That try by Cooper was a brilliantly constructed try.
Jeez, I am flabbergasted! What the hell was this? Before the game I said we have upper hand at all aspects of the game. It was just the other way around. FFS
@Boerboel – 406
Going to be very, very tough to win in Hamilton. We need to win it or pick up a bonus point.
Rubbish ref today Boerboel. He let them away with far, far too much and it ruined the game.
Good thing I didn’t wake up to watch this game. 6 points????
@Puma – Hi Puma, how are you? Agree, gonna be a tough one next week.
We cant blame the ref for this. They were way better than us today.
@Ed_the_Lion –
Morning, the Aussies were playing flippen good!
@Ed_the_Lion – Haaaaaallo
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
Agree, they were better in probably every aspect.
Nee wat, ons was nie goed nie, maar daar was net geen manier wat die Aussies sou verloor het vandag nie, en dit, nie omdat hul goed is nie. Laat hul dit maar geniet, hulle is nogsteeds ‘down under’ op die log ! 🙂
At one stage we tried to tighten up the game but our kicking out of hand was kuk!!
