Good try Quade
First a free kick to the Wallas from the All Black scrum, then a penalty for the All Black backline offside, they tap….
Surferdude gets a tryyyyyyyyyyyyy.
It’s ALL Wallas at the moment… shades of the Sharks / Bulls game of 2 weeks ago….
Wallas 5 / 0
@ superBul:

30@ Pietman:
Ja, netso.
Hell maar die Aussies kan nie skop nie
34@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Your team is ON FIRE
Ausies turning All Black ball over almost at will…..
Soos gewoonlik begin die Aussies met ‘n ‘bang’, maar gaan dit aanhou tot die einde ?
39@ bdb:
Blacks gladnie innie game sover nie… ek is verbaas
All Blacks get a penalty… Wallas under pressure in their scrum
Carter goes for posts…. about 48 m out….
Hits the post… miss
Pocock is right in McCaws face, i love it
ANother penalty for the boys in black, 40m out this time… Carter lines it up
Carter misses left….. bad kicking by both sides
Think the Aussies got a very good chance of winning the RWC.
Penalty Ozzie, Nonu in on the side of a ruck.
Nice one ausssssiiieeessssssssssss
Good touchfinder.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Ashley-Cooper as he breaks straight through the All Blacks midfield….
Did you see that Pierre Spies and Danie Roussouw are both injured and might miss the EOYT
Ozzies 12 / ZIP
OK people, talk laters, must go and prepare the spit, today it is Graaff-Reinet lamb and a barrel of Windhoek Lager right here in my backyard, with a bunch of mostly WP supporters 🙂
I think these Aussies are playing really nice rugby
52@ Pietman:
Cheers Pieta
Mealamu over but held up…. man this game is good
Try Jimmy Cowan, under the sticks
Ozzies 12 / 7
Surferdude flufs the kickoff, scrum middlespot
Massive All Blacks scrum….
@ Pietman:
Cheers pietman, that sounds like a great plan.
Look at this match: passion, intensity, commitment, flair and skill. I think that means we’ve got an excellent game on our hands.
The result is going to hang until the last moment.
