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.

At work, looked in to see carnage……..My superBru screwed! I thought GBS prediction was SO out too!!
Byee till later…. Glad I can’t see it
Just can’t do it. Thought we would get a try there but not to be. Nothing is working for us just nothing.
@ Snoek:184 – Damn miss the one good moment coming to the study to post.
Back to the tv.
Ozzies 23 / 8
de jong is darrem BAIE beter as olivier hy wil speel twee tackles in een beweging
Schalla in on the side… penalty… kickable
Giteau misses
Flip comes on for Pakslae, CJ on for BJ
Hell, how illegal can the Ozzmob loosies play??
Was’nt that cynical enough to warrant a yellow?
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Guttieeeeeeeeeeee!!
Ruan misses agin
Ozzies 23 / 13
De jong is way better than Wynand. Who do you think helped the Stormers in attaining the best defensive side in the s14.
en pienaar se kop ontplof
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY STEENKAMP.
Now how would it have looked had Zane PASSED to Aplon when that was a cert for a try? Also when we got a penalty on their line we took the scrum instead of the points. I count 13 points there wasted.
Anyhow GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOKS.
Hougie on for Pienaar, I think
@ Puma:198 correction I count 10 points there.
Try Genia… overs cadovers
@ grootblousmile:195 – Should be giving the kicks to Butch.
Ozzies 30 / 13
Thew feking Cheetahs team would have played better against this Auzie side…ffs….pathetic bunch
@ grootblousmile:201 – That is us finished. Come home boys and rest up. Also get to altitude and train there for two weeks before the game at Soccer City.
Plenty changes too. Some players just not up to it.
Hougie doing well…. and Juan needlessly pushes a guy… penalty against him
Two weeks rest for the Boks, and then we can show these wannabees who’s boss
We have been ouplayed and oureffed again. What to do?
Hell, I predicted a 10 point loss… it is now bloody 17 and the game will probably end this way.
Bokke totally outplayed in the 1st half
@bos otter sit net vir juan brus daniller en oe trap hougaard pocock se nerwe af..at least beskerm hy die bal
