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.

    The refs know fuckall about scrumming. A tight head will pop if his opposite scrums upwards. The upwards scrumming is illegal and happens before the pop, so the penalties against Smit should have penalties against Aus! Barnes doesn’t his scrum rules.

    @sharky_forever – Shark, Sharkkkk and Sharkkkkyyyyy,
    First time I ever see you so pissed off. heehehehehe, we all hate losing.

  • 486

    @Puma

    No use blaming the ref. The Aussies were better than us. They won the scrums, just like last week, they won the breakdown, they won the kicking game. Only aspect I think we held our own were the line-outs.

    @sharky_forever – 476

    I even saw them hold on to FdP hands while he was going for the ball!!!!! What the bloody hell was that. Cheating. Where was the refs eyes?

  • 488

    @Supa Die Bloubul – im am saying it had parrity

    and whenever we tried whackiong them in the scrum they pushed up

    gees supa you wanna tell me you didnt see that boet??\

    ALL the commentators spoke of it

    pity you cant see what naas showed and said

    they showed all the stuff the aussies got away with

  • 489

    @Ed_the_Lion – or hold onto a ball………or be there in cover defence…..one of a no8’s primary functions….. 🙄

  • 490

    478@Supa Die Bloubul – hehehehehe, ek trek net jou been my maat. Gelukkig kan ons 2de eindig die jaar.

  • 491

    470 @sharky_forever – Ek blameer nie Smitty alleen nie. Maar hoekom blameer jy dan bv. vir FDP as ou Naas dan self sê hulle hang heeltyd onkant ?

    Smitty is nie ‘n slegte vaskop nie, maar kom ons wees eerlik, hy is nie in CJ of BJ se klas nie.

    Ek stem saam oor die ref, sien my skrywe by 479.

  • 492

    did you watch what naas showed and said?? , we were cheated hands down

    how many spear type tackles got overlooked??

    @Puma

  • 493

    All in all the Ozzies had the good running game as well today… face it fellas, they were the better Team today !

  • 494

    Waar is die stats janne? Wil graag die game se stats sien.

  • 495

    489@K9-MonsterLeeu – So what your are saying, basically do what a nr 8 is suppose to do. PdV has been exposed. 😯

  • 496

    @grootblousmile – boet you can be if ur allowed to

    both naas and darren scott said the ref was right there but they now sure what game he was blowing.

    wasnt the one infront of him

  • 497

    @SA Barbarians
    Gewonder wat van jou geword het, kon jy darem die game kyk?
    KP is dan seker ook sonder krag, nie dat hy sal omgee nie, hy braai mos graag!

  • 498

    @sharky_forever

    I dont really care what Naas said as I dont think he is really a scrum expert. I saw us getting penalised and our props and hookers popping up everytime.

    It happened against the Lions second test, the Aussies and the All Blacks. Cantblame the ref everytime. I cant agree that we dominated the scrums. Really I cant.
    Anyway, I’ll pop in later with the next game. Wife is back here.

  • 499

    @Supa Die Bloubul – 486

    Yes they did, but we also allowed them too and so did the ref. If you watch the replays that they done here on Supersport you would have seen. Ag, its over we need to play to win next week or pick up a bonus point.

    Die aussie commies het ‘n hele paar keer gesê hul span was gelukkig om nie deur die ref geblaas te wees nie.

    Dit was ‘bedoel’ dat die aussies wen.

    Nou sal ons hopelik wakker skrik, en die AB’s nie onderskat nie, en wen.

    Alles hang natuurlik af van net EEN vraag: wie is die ref ? dan sal ons weet wie gaan wen ! 😉

  • 502

    En daar kom die krag nou weer aan na die game verby is ffs!!!
    Seker sokker fan skelms wat die donnerse kabels gesteel het

  • 503

    @Pietman – het netnou met KP gepraat. Hy het die game op die radio geluister.

  • 504

    496@sharky_forever – I’m not the ref-bashing, whinging type Tjarkie…. they beat us… solidly

  • 505

    @Ed_the_Lion – hiyas ed mate , true but i dont normally get angry and cry about the ref

    this pommie cheated us hands down

  • 506

    @grootblousmile
    I agree, they were better and more innovative than us.
    They could so easily have scored three more (Habana just managed to stop two tries, just barely)….I still don’t know how their scrummie botched that one up.

  • 507

    @Pietman – 497

    Het sulke klein stukkies gesien op Justin Pieta.

    KP het Dros toe geskuif

  • 508

    505@sharky_forever – I didn’t watch the game. I was sleeping like a baby while they played. We are in deep trouble now. I will watch the game later today and when I see you here, I will tell you what I thought of the ref.

  • 509

    @grootblousmile – nor am i

    fact is he cheated us

    trust me nas didnt use the word cheat , but hell he wasnt far off saying it , and he laughed in fact in trying not to say it

  • 510

    Nou ja, die bal is deur die pale, verloor en klaar.

    Nou vir vanmiddag se ‘upset’: die wp wat die bb gaan wen. 😉
