The hype building up to this match was big and the result as well especially if you support the Springboks. They dominated from the word go and also built the lead from early on. The match started at a huge tempo and held that most of the match, giving fans a great match to watch. The scoring of the match started slow with the Springboks scoring a early try but the Wallabies stayed in touch with penalties.
The end result of 38 – 12 in favour of the Springboks and a bonus point to boot has moved the Springboks 1 Log point clear at the top of the Log, 1 point ahead of the All Blacks, who they will be facing next weekend.
The Springboks also broke their drought at Suncorp Stadium as well as the drought in Brisbane since 1971 and proved that they can beat major teams, away from home, in their back yards. With 9 wins a row a lot of people will back the Springboks to beat the All Blacks next weekend and this clash could turn out to be the decider for who could take The Rugby Championship in 2013.
The Wallabies on the other hand have no wins in The Rugby Championship in 2013 year and also find themselves at the bottom of the Log. They play the Pumas from Argentina next weekend, which is most probably going to be a make or break game for their season, as should they lose it will be most likely that they will remain at the botton of the Log through the rest of The Rugby Championship.
The Springboks will be taking a lot of positives from this match, but the Wallabies have their work cut out for them if they want to beat the Pumas on the weekend.
Players who stood out in this match were Duane Vermeulen and Willie Le Roux for the Springboks and James O’Connor and Adam Ashley-Cooper for the Wallabies.
James O’Connor and Adam Ashley-Cooper were the only two Wallaby players that ever seemed capable of getting past some of the Springbok defenses. They were also the only players who did not try to have a constant chatting session with the referee.
Duan Vermeulen made his big presence felt with big hits on defense and hard rucking, whereas Willie Le Roux should be kept on the right wing. He scored his first try for the Springboks and played a big part in the Zane Kirchner try. There were numerous Sprinbok players that can be mentioned, as this was a well rounded team effort.
Overall
9 Out of 10 / 3 Out of 10
The Springboks receives a 9/10, as they scored a bonus point victory away from home. They showed that they are the team to beat in this year’s The Rugby Championship and they also look as the most rounded of teams in this year’s competition.
The Wallabies receive a 3/10 as they were never in this match, with a lack of discipline and too much talking on the field cost them. They were overpowered in all aspects of the game.
@ Puma:
Did you see my apology?
Read post 18 again, you called Ruan good and Fourie Brilliant. I just pushed my point that brilliant players will play good behind a struggling pack and that good players will be exposed.
Did you also refresh your memory about that 2008 game?
@ grootblousmile:

Netgear – Universal dual bandk WIFI Range Extender – Model WN2500RP
Only 3 lights come up. Not sure if it is not picking up the router. Cost a lot for it as well. My daughter is flying down on Thursday and she has a friend that does what you do for a living he is quite good. So if I can’t figure it out by then will ask him to have a look.
bandk = band
I think I am useless with this stuff gbs. How I managed to set up my router have no damn clue how I got that right…….. 🙂 🙂 Just the damn booster. I can pick up the router everywhere in my house except the tv lounge as it is a long way from my study.
60 @ grootblousmile:
Funny that….hahahaha.
63 & 64 @ Puma:
Nice Range Extender.. hope you did not pay more than R 550.00 for it.
It has 2 distinct setup options:
Option 1: WPS
Option 2: Web Browser Setup.
I would personally use the Web Browser Setup, if I was you… page 8 of the installation guide and further
I have to go put some plumbing fittings on in the house… check in a bit later
66 @ grootblousmile:
Cost R1200 boet. Was expensive so was the router was R3000
I must have been done it then if you say it was cheaper. Just wanted the best, as I thought that would stop all the hassle I was having. Everything works faster have to admit. Just no connection in the tv lounge. Really thought the booster would help. Probably have not set that up properly.
Will try both options and see if it helps. Thanks boet.
@ Puma:
Good grief you were taken, GBS could have saved you at least 25
68 @ Puma:
I could have supplied the Range Extender for R 500.00 and the best ADSL Modem Router on the market (I use one myself) for about R 750.00.
Seriously…
You were taken for a biggggggggggggg ride, buddie, R 2 950.00 too much that you paid!!

I must be the only real “soutie” here on R-T.
Born and raised in the shadow of Rugby school……. – OK, maybe a 10 minute drive away, but not too far.
Difference between you and I is that I realised a young boeremeisie can cook better than an English rose.
However, none of them are any good at listening after being in the relationship for longer than 6 months!
71 @ Scrumdown:
Howzit Scrumdown, Hahahaha. You are correct there, as I was born here. English speaking of course, where we differ is you can speak better Afrikaans than I can and of course you married to a boeremeisie.
72 @ Puma:
It is a glaring blemish on your side, that born as a South African, you are so bad with your Afrikaans.
Think we’ll have to educate you and just speak Afrikaans in future… hehehe

Doing your apprentiship with a bunch of hairy buggers from Elsburg, and 2 years wearing brown clothes in Kimberley will have the effect of teaching you an alternative medium of verbal communication.
