Wallabies (17) 30 / Springboks (3) 13 (Final Score)
The Wallabies hosted the Springboks in Brisbane, Australia at 12:00 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSpor 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Wallabies, like feared, had a plethera of possession and break-down ball to work with in the 1st half, ran intelligently and recycled the ball well.
This earned them penalty after penalty and they built up a hefty lead as a result from kicks at goal.
In the 2nd half, when Dewald Potgieter replaced Ryan Kankowski, things evened up a bit, enabling the Springboks to score 2 tries but the Wallabies fought and defended well to maintain a lead and run out winners by a 17-point margin.
The final score was Wallabies 30 / 13.

Superbul and I got reprimanded by the honourable mr PS of Cape Town. Maybe he is just taking it easy.
@ rugbybal:
Neewat, het vir Super al ontmoet, hy is nie die tipe ou wat hom laat intimideer nie.
Hy rus seker net ‘n bietjie.
Morning all. Hope all is well that side 🙂 Hope the Boks pull it out of the fire today..
