    Ja back home now, got back yesterday, was able to watch the test while waiting for flight from Singapore, man was really the moer in to see them losing was hoping would be able to celebrate a Boks win. Oh well all the Aussies watching there were pretty pleased.

    Back to advantage Oosthuizen?

    Doesn’t take much to please the Aussies….parole usually does the trick 😉

  • 455

    wish they had won even more after I made my name tottie in exclaiming out loud about what I thought was cheating going on, forgetting for a moment where I was. I was sitting a bit back from the pub that was showing it so maybe missed some of the detail but I really didn’t enjoy the Aussie tactic of often having a player stand in the way between the passer and the receivers in the backline giving them a bit more time on the ball as our defenders would have to get around him first, don’t know if they varied who did it but I saw one of their baldy players in that spot many times. This may be within the laws but felt like some kind of obstruction to me?

    That’s it well done Johnson

    😆 dangerous place to make comments.

    They deserved their win, HM messed up with his poor subs and kicking game plan. Last year we also lost in Aus in the last minute after also subbing players at the wrong time, and then he also talked about valuable lessons learnt…yet a year later we lose again using the same tactics….once again he is talking about valuable lessons learnt.

    Not sure how many times he needs to learn the same lesson

    Louis Oosthuizen just didn’t seem to remain composed on the putts with those lost two holes, he could have won it or at least forced more play off, well done Zack Johnson.

    Nah it was ok there in Singapore and the big boys sitting at the bar couldn’t have heard me, just a friendly Aussie who was passing by.
    Watched the whole first half and then only in parts in second half and they seemed to fall apart, just wish there would be less kicking. From what I can remember it may never have been so close as I saw the Aussies knock on quite a few times in dangerous attacking positions. Do you think Morne Steyn will get a recall now into the team?

    @ Bullscot:
    Think he had 4 three puts today…very costly putting wise today

  • 465

    @ Bullscot:
    Aussies were very rusty in the first half, plus Quade Cooper and Skelton are huge liabilities for them.

    Can’t see Steyn coming back, HM is enamored with Pollard and can’t see no wrong when it comes to him

    Some people NEVER learn.

    Some people are just “onopleibaar”.

    Some people are just plain below average intelligence.
