Excellent kick to touch by Morné
Penalty Bokke, kickable
Walabies 12 / 3
72-3
This serves as an eye opener for those who believe that our stalwarts are too old and not good enough anymore. This is what will happen if you send a young on form superrugby team to the World Cup.
OMG! Meisiekind passed.
but I seriously hope we can get back into this game
@ Loosehead:
And then he didn’t again.
Penalty Aussie, side entry by Hargreaves
Flip off injured… blood injury
Forward pass to Beale, Bokke scrum
Penalty against Werner at the scrum, easy one to posts
Wallabies 15 / 3
Nice run by Greyling… then the Auusies pilfer the ball on the ground
Aussies duff a try-scoring opportunity
What is that growing out of Snors nose?
Penalty Bokke at the scrum, Kepu going down
Hooter goes
Kickable Bokke penalty… that was an awesome maul!
Wallabies 15 / 6

We are still in this, much better in the last 10min. We kinda look better when the game opens up, but then again that is when the Wallas are the most dangerous
Nouja, wat kan mens sê… nie EEN Bok staan uit nie… behalwe miskien Ashley Johnson op verdediging
Wat drink ons?
Genia, Cooper, Beale and O’Connor are such dangerous buggers
@ grootblousmile:
Flippie was playing well.
@ grootblousmile:
Strongbow Cider.
John Smit is abysmal and Gio is having a mare for once
Maybe things will look better in the second half… hehe
