Stephen Moore also now on for the Wallas…. bench fully cleared
Adam Ashley-Cooper gets his hat trick
Nog eenetjie. Sonder eish!
Difference between this game and our game yesterday, is at least there was a bit of excitement in that, this is pretty monotonous and boring for the most part. Yes, few tries and the odd bit of Beale brilliance, but on the whole not a good ad for the WC – As I write this, the Aussies come alive, but I’ll post anyway, maybe it’ll change the game!
Wallabies 55 / 5

Rugbyprof now correct, but there is a few more tries coming, my pick , 60 is too low too
