I thought Aus were excellent in the first half and possibly the best 40 minutes they've put in under Link. South Africa really didn't offer much in attack in the first half but crucially they hung in there and kept in touch. South Africa were excellent in the second half and really finished...

Good first half from Aus. SA don't look dangerous on attack and the Wobs have been very aggressive at the breakdown. Kuridrani has been very impressive when he's kept ball in hand.

Just a slight correction. This is his 4th season in France and his average caps per season is about 29.

With regard to Ireland I'm getting a little worried about the game at provincial level. I just can't see where the provinces are going. I don't think Leinster players have bought into MOC's game plan the way they did with Cheika or Schmidt. Munster experimented with a more expansive game but...

The argument of who is better at fly-half between Wilkinson or Giteau is easily settled by looking at who played 10 when they took to the pitch together, Wilkinson. Giteau is a vastly superior player to the guy who left Australia all those years ago. Yes it helps to be behind a test class...

Great point LG and the IRB already has mechanisms in place to distinguish the target nations. They use a combination of bands and the tier system. So while New Zealand, Australia, England etc. might be in the same band (high performance) as Samoa, Fiji etc. Tier 1 is defined as only those high...

The IRB and the various Unions had a chance to send a strong message to the rich clubs during the dispute over the HEC. Instead the folded and gave the clubs pretty much everything they wanted. It's no surprise that those same clubs now feel emboldened. This move by the French clubs and the...

Hope the Aus v B&I Lions game doesn't go ahead. Would make it less special and set a precedent where the Lions would play other teams out of cycle. That thinking could open some interesting financial avenues for the Lions in the future. If they're not thinking of it currently it won't be too...

Not as bad as the Wobs in the first half but Argentina blew that try.

That's the third time the Argies have gone for the intercept. One might stick for them before the end.

Wow, Wobs bombed that try.

Great lineout work by the Wobs there. Good to see a challenge on a 5m lineout when it's almost certain the Argies will look to gather and drive over.

This guy would be better informed than the commentary team.

wtf is the "UK club competition"? Really enjoy watching Wobs games but the commentary is terrible.

No patience from SA in the end, the final pass was silly. Was a really gripping game.

Bismarck finally hit his man but it wasn't exactly clean ball for SA.

Terrible pass by Habana but what a take by de Villiers.

Excellent try by the ABs there. Took something special to break the Bok defence.

It's been a very entertaining first half. SA defence has been excellent and a joy to watch. NZ have looked really dangerous but SA have found a way to keep them out. The Springbok try was very well worked. They have had much territory but when they did they made it count. Also with refs...

Great try there committing the defence and looking for the support.
