Another Wallabies penalty… sitter, quick tap and go
The stats for anyone interested. SA record (since 2008) against the ABs is 5 to 6 for the ABs. Against the Wallabies it’s 8 to 4 to Oz.
Wallabies 5m out… ball stolen by the All Blacks
Use it, surely?
Bloody hot here today. Temp 34! jeez and we only just coming out of our winter. Think the Berg Winds bring this sudden heat. Think I may have to go have a quick swim in my pool after this game. Too hot even for the beach…….haha.
92 @ Gobble_BokJan:So that makes it a fifty/fifty chance for us to win, and the odds stacked in our favour with such a poor team as opposition. Thanks, I can really start to believe now!
All Blacks through… well almost… Wallabies penalty on their own 5m line
95 @ PumaSpringbokJan:You’re lucky – freezing, stormy weather here. Inside day with a roaring fire for us!
98 @ Just For Kicks:
Our weather here in the Panne is nice today…. lekker, no wind, sun is out…
@ Just For Kicks:
I think you are missing my whole point. It’s not that we can’t beat the Wallabies, it’s that we Think we always beat them and so only focus on the ABs.
All Blacks just right back on attack… on the Wallabies 22 now
@ Gobble_BokJan:….and after all that, if the Boks do lose, GBS may have to ban me for the fearsome language I may come up with whilst in my period of mourning!!!!!
Try Read?
Grounding doubtful
No try, lost forward by Read, penalty All Blacks…. 5m lineout
102 @ Just For Kicks:
I might have to ban myself too…. hehehe
Wobblies just have one job, Prevent Abs from scoring 4 tries!
17 Minutes to go in the match
100 @ Gobble_BokJan:Ahhhhh, I see your point – but we’ll have to live with that I am afraid – coaches beat into us to think so one dimensionally, that we lose the use of half our brains in the process, and are therefore unable to think of more than one thing at a time. Being able to think about beating to beat the AB’s and Wobblies at the same time? Nah, that would take a generation!
Even on attack the Wobblies look less than solid…
Nothing going right for Wallabies. At least for now they havve kept the Blacks from getting the bonus point. Still early though they could still get it.
98 @ Just For Kicks:
Jeez so hot here, just had to stand now with my legs in the pool…hahaha to cool down a bit. Just put on the air con too.
Berg Winds bring this sudden heat here. So think it could be just for today.
Wallabies scrum penalty, between halfway and the All Blacks 10m line…. they go for touch
110 @ PumaSpringbokJan:
meant – have
All Blacks penalty, Moore holding on…. so silly!
Problem with the AB’s in this game, is they started with such poor ball handling in the game, it took them 45 minutes to get into form, then they go and bring on the replacements, and they go back to how they started the game. Now is the Wobblies best opportunity to exploit it
115 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, All Blacks not exactly setting the world alight in this game either…..
What a mess.
All Blacks over the line…. but ball lost in the final act of scoring
Cruden on now
Just prevent the 4 tries, finish and klaar. Nothing else to play for.
