[2015 TRC] Australia v South Africa in Brisbane (18/07/2015)

[ratsapprentice]

Yeah - thoroughly modern 6.

The blindside to Kvesic's openside.

 

[RoosTah]

What a scrum!! What a difference Horwill and Pocock have made

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Got to love Nigel Owens as ref. great way to stop back chat from Moore: "uh Stephen.....". Reminded me of his "Christopher" put down when speaking to Robshaw once.

 

[RoosTah]

F##K YEAH!!!

On the back of 3 strong scrums too!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Hooper has had a very good game too

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

That makes things interesting

 

[Bada-Bing!]

3 point game. Great fight back by the Wobblies.

 

[RoosTah]

Goal kicking - another of our seemingly permanent weaknesses

Game over. Deserve it really - jusrt awful at the break down.

The SA reserves have been a real big step down from the starters, vice versa for Aus they've looked a different team without quade, and with Pocock on.

Also, Folau is fantastic. He is so good under the high ball.

big finish coming up.

Drama!!!

Jeez wasn't Owens just looking to ping them there, could've made that decision at very ruck in the game.

Totally agree its been going on all game. LOL what a friggin joke.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Big finish, well done the wallabies to steal that. Gift penalty but they had to do the hard work and score the try

 

[RoosTah]

Reckon he's scored it but it could go either way.

F##K YEAH!!!!!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Tough call - I wouldn't have liked to be the TMO there.

 

[SomeOke]

Well playes wallabies, well deserved victory.

 

[austingtir]

The SA reserves should all be hung at dawn. The starters dominated then that lot came on and handed them the game....

 

[Bada-Bing!]

How could they give that try? For me it was inconclusive and also don't think it was all in one movement.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Tough call, think try was the right call but would understand if they said no try

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that - not the first time he's done that either.

In fairness, it's made for a better end, but I'm not sure that's why the ref is there. I'd be pretty mad if I was a Saffa fan right now, albeit there's nothing to complain about given the whole gamut of the game. Wasn't happy with some of his decisions over challenges in the air, looked so out of step with what I've been seeing. Really not sure he's the ref he was.

Anyway, congrats to the Wallabies, very hard lines on the Saffas, fantastic game for the neutral (once it got going).
