Strauss with a brainfart
Flip on for Etzebeth, and Marcel on for Alberts too
Straus lucky to escape there. Boks should just calm down!
Flip on for Etzebeth, Marcell Coetzee on for Alberts
207 @ Just For Kicks:
Are you sure all that cheer was for Lambie, could some of it not been in appreciation of a good performance of the man coming off JFK
Too many changes too fast. Disrupting the Boks. Coetzee was a good move. Alberts was not looking too happy…
208 @ The_Young_Turk:I’m going to give Ostrich the benefit of the doubt here – he wanted to bring on Lambie earlier in the other matches too, he just forgot to turn his walkie talkie on!
Tryyyyyyyy Habana!
Bonus point!
HABANAAAAAAAAAAA TRYYYYYYYYYYY
Bryan you beauty
1st Bonus point in the WHOLE of The Rugby Championship
Thats 4 tries. Quick play, good try, and players thinking for themselves for once. Go Boys!
Habs, once again the best wing in the world!
Here’s something you don’t hear every day – Boks get a bonus point
Bokke are playing smart rugby…. now we must hit the nails into their coffins!
Should have let Goosen take the conversion to get his confidence back.
Well done Bokke. Don’t slacken off now. Go for the 50!
Wallabies penalty…. against Langbek…. who has had a good game.
The result a 5m lineout in front of us here in the Press Box
@ The_Young_Turk:Yup, he’s back, and so is Bekker. Can only be good.
Try Harris
Try to Harris….
Beale runs around Hougie, and the rest of the defence didn’t stand a chance
Springboks 26 / 8 Wallabies
FFS! How could we let the Wobblies score. Tighten the fark up now guys. We have our pride to play for. Remember the 49 – 0! We need revenge!
Boks completely out of the game at the moment. Look like they are just happy to have scored the 4 tries. Disappointing!
Hold it together now guys
Boks trying too hard, need to take stock for a minute or two
44 463 Spectators at the match, the official figure
Hats off to the Wallabies, they’ve never given up. Done far better than I expected.
Bokke get a relieving penalty, and Ruan Pienaar does the business
