[2014 TRC] Australia v South Africa in Perth (06/09/2014)

[Jaguares]

Too many penalties for both teams. This favors the Boks who have a more effective kicker

 

[Bazzy]

AAC should have scored that try. Might come back to bite them.

So close for AAC....

I've been impressed with Kuridrani so far.

Same, kinda glad they didn't play him against us

You get the feeling part of Aussies plan is give it to Folau and see what he can do, which is all good but would like to see Folau used as the decoy a few times as that could open up SA a bit.

Kinda feel both teams are giving it away if anything, no one really wants to take the bull by the horns.

Would love to see Habana score in his 100th game.

Good start to the 2nd half by Australia.

EDIT: Apart from that kick by Toomua...and that scrum....

 

[Rugga-lad]

Great scrum !!

 

[Jaguares]

HUGE Toomua's mistake

 

[Tony Manx]

Are there any better looking guys in rugby than Michael Hooper?

Hello stranger....Top 14 thread is waiting for you!!!

 

[Jaguares]

Oh Wallabies... Oh Wallabies...

How waste a winnable game by childish mistakes

 

[Darwin]

Foley not having a great match....

 

[Tony Manx]

Oh Wallabies... Oh Wallabies...

How waste a winnable game by childish mistakes

and then commit another!!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Australia throwing opportunities away.

 

[Big Ewis]

Hello stranger....Top 14 thread is waiting for you!!!

salutations. I'll have a look at the said Top 14 thread in time. I'm focusing hard on telepathically influencing the Wallabies to win this game atm...

 

[Jaguares]

and then commit another!!

And another...

 

[Rugga-lad]

that little kangeroo falling over is hilarious...

 

[Jaguares]

HUGE tackle by Hooper

 

[Big Ewis]

let me guess: the Boks are going to beat the Wallabies today, and then again next week. Meanwhile the AB will beat the Pumas, and then those same Pumas will come really, really close once against AUS, and get smashed the other. The All-Blacks will beat the Boks twice and win the ***le, another whitewash.

 

[Darwin]

When did "the Beast" turn into "the Kitten" in the ball running department?

 

[nzlizard]

Aus tactical kicking game is letting them down, little stab kicks / chips serving no purpose, no one chasing.

Folau's return kicks are ****, he seems happy to give away possession for the sake of 4-5m

SA upping the intensity and winning the kicking battle, struggling to convert to points though.
