Jantjies and JdJ coming on? as well as Pat Cilliers
Doc Jannie off, Pat Cilliers on
Turn over no.8. Just not good enough.
How the fark can the Boks just give away possession like that. Absolutely no protection for the ball on the ground. Just letting the Wobblies take it at will.
238 @ grootblousmile:Very poor show by the Loftus faithful, I am afraid
245 @ Just For Kicks:
What?
6000 shy of a full house… not bad at all
Pandemonium here, as Deans tries to bring on the water boys too!
246 @ grootblousmile:For an international???????? Appalling. Should be a full house.
Wallabies down to 14 men, have already made 7 subs… not allowed more
244 @ The_Young_Turk:and thats the Wobblies 2nd team. What are the AB’s going to do to us????
Injuries to an already depleted Aussie side definitely taking the shine off this win.
And now they’ve only got 14 on the field.
6 Minutes remain…. Bokke WILL win this one
Fark, these Wobblies have been utterly ravaged by injuries. How are they going to put a team together against the Pumas. Now down to 14. Boks should be eating them alive. Yet we are still on the back foot.
Good work Bokke, now lets make use of this uncontested scrum please
253 @ The_Young_Turk:Look at our game plan. We’ve gone straight back to the old game. Defence and bashing the ball up. We’ll never dominate thus.
@ grootblousmile:
The win is not in question. We are playing against 14 men!
Jantjies now on with JdJ and Liebanberg
Damn, JDJ just knocks on
Try Bokke?
TMO… no lost it forward… just
This has been a frustrating match. Many good aspects mixed some awfully stupid play.
Bad luck JdJ after a great run by Pienaar
Hatrick Habana!
Great run Bokke!
Flo, that was brilliant, and it puts Habs away for his hat trick.
Hat-trick Habana!
Hats off to the Wallabies! They have put their bodies on the line literally and figuratively!
Yup when they play “decent rugby” ………..
Springboks 31 / 8 Wallabies
And the MOM scores his hat-trick.
Flo’s dummy was the best I have seen. Love it.
flokkit dit was darrem nou mooi
