Phenomenal match, exciting right to the last moment. Congrats to the wallas on an unbelievable win, classical! one of the all time great games. Amazing never-say-die effort by the boks.
Ah well…grats Auzies….you deserved this win…

Dalk ‘n goeie resultate, ons moes nooit in daardie posisie gewees het nie, veral nie op tuisveld nie, en nog minder op altitude. Die probleem bly. Gaan daar wesentlike veranderinge kom ?
Credit to the Aussies well done.

@ Pietman:
Thanks Pietman, it was a great effort, although I’d like to know why the wallas go to sleep in every second half.Tremendous bok fight back.
Flip why????????????????????? only 10sec were left. Would have been the greatest come back to win that one.
Well done Wallabies.
Think if Aplon had started it could have been.

What a disgrace Assistant ref not sure who should be banned
Well done boks great come back pity it had to be decided by the officials
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
This game was bloody nerve wrecking, congrats. Your team opened our defense like a can. All your tries was finished of spectacular.
@ superBul:533 – We almost got it back Super.
Habs cost us this game really. Gave away 21 points with his useless defence once again.
We were half asleep with their lineout there. What lead to their last try. Pity about Flip but that happens. Can’t blame him. Habs is where we lost it. Aplon should have started this game.
Well done Guthro and Hougaard and Jdv
@ Puma:
thanks Puma mate, time is 2.59 am – how do I go to sleep after watching that result????
