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.

As die WP vandag verloor, kou ek my polse af…
@Pietman – 404
Jeez Piet, I do too. Hope not though. We were in such a good demanding lead up to this game. Should have played true Bulls rugby today. That would have slowed it down and probably a different game would have been played.
Also Wayne Barnes let them away with murder. We could have had at least 5 penalties today. Useless, useless ref. I have always supported the kiwis about this rubbish ref.
Nouja, laat ek maar my geel kepsie gaan opsit….dis naar maar dis waar 🙂
Hello All, especially K9. Hope you enjoyed your BDay. Faarkin Boks. Atleast they almost won the 3N’s this year.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Very kuk the kicking, especially Habs went off.
@isigidi –
Fark, dink aan my…Bokke verloor, en Bulle moontlik…gaan nie lekker wees nie…
Wonder watter besering Habana opgetel het ?
@Supa Die Bloubul – Totally agree.
@Puma –
100% bro!
We should have stuck to the Bulls plan and kept it tight.
sad to see some still trying to blame smitty in here
pity the eyes are so biased
4 players that didnt havce great games is
fdp morne adi and brussow
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Morne se skoppe was doelloos. Kan egter nie verloor op een of enige speler plaas.
John S was heavily exposed vandag.
@Pietman – Pietepedia, Het jy die Aussies geback op SBru?
@K9-MonsterLeeu – And congrats with the birthday, now you are a proper senior
@bdb – Dit het darm nie gelyk of hy baie seer gekry het nie…hoop nie so nie. Hy het n lekker game gehad in die begin
@bdb –
Hy het n lelike bebloede skaafmerk aan sy boud, het gesien.
Weet nie hoe dit gekry het nie….
Congrats to Boerboel and K9 on their BDays this week.
@sharky_forever – I agree, especially Brussow. He didn’t have a great last week either. Schalla will be back next week.
423@Pietman –
Sien ek is darem nog bo daar by die bruvvas. MAar nou is dit moontlik om die volgende twee weke te kies!
@Ed_the_Lion –
Yip, by 11 points.
Also backed the Golden Lions by 11, hehehehehehe!
@Pietman – Exactly Piet and I think we would have won. All this running rugby does not suit our play. All we needed was one damn point to win. Should have kept it tight, tight.
Will have to do that in Hamilton if there is rain. Bring on Frans for Ruan at the back for that game.
@Ed_the_Lion – Thanks Ed
@Pietman – 435 Bakkies se baard?
439@Supa Die Bloubul – Ek verstaan nie jou comment nie!!
@Pietman – Thanks Pietepedia. 😆
watch what naas is saying and it will show you guys what i mean
they scrummed up played offside and did everything they wanted to
@Ed_the_Lion – thx Ed.
436@Ed_the_Lion – SAB verjaar more
@sharky_forever –
Odwa is not test material. Scrums were pathetic. FDP was not on song, and Brussouw. They were just much better everywhere today! JDV was probably the best of our players today.
@Boerboel – 437
Remember they had Smith and Pocock who are great fetchers that would have put a lot of pressure on Brussow. Our 7 should also fetch like Deysel does. Now that would be potent. Brussow with Deysel next to him. Just like they had today.
446@grootblousmile – Ek sal môre vir SAB geluk sê en Dinsdag vir jou.
