I suspect the scars of multiple failed Bledisloe campaigns will be too much for this Wallaby team to bear going into this test. They will be having relapses of past test matches of seeing Nonu offload, or seeing Retallick knock multiple gold jersies back at the ruck, or Coles running through...

3. Fardy 2. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 1. Douglas

Fear not IS, it's a loooong week....

Comedy gold. Right up there with Fitzy's one yesterday.

Exactly JJJ, it's somewhat alarming to many AB fans, not all, that most are saying the ABs are favourites. A clear misallocation in my book. Wallabies clear favourites, they've played all the rugby, and against tier 1 nations. I'm not sure how the ABs will deal with this newfound underdog...

That's the one. Better on tapatalk if you use a mobile device.

Sorry I take that back. If it's Chris you are referring to its some "random". All sweet here. Seems you are the one throwing childish remarks around, so maybe you need the cheering up.

Yep. Come on over DC. It's good banter. Some posters offer good insights. There's the same level of looney tunes as here as well

Yes I'm guessing the AB coach is thinking the same way as some random fan..... Anyway the report from the Wallabies team celebration last night was that the ankle was badly swollen but nothing that he couldn't put some pressure on it. Barring a further twist in training this week, Folau will play.

Plenty of joy here thanks Tex. Win or lose. Yes some of my fellow country men are at opposite ends of the spectrum (rugby stability one that is....) but after all is said and done it's just a game. ABs to win 96-19

The only problem with that scenario is the fact Garces blew his whistle. When he blows the whistle the play stops. Unless of course he didn't blow his whistle or Pietersen scores the try before he blows the whistle. But then Garces already had the arm out. So no try.

Good win to the Vikings. Thought Robbie Abel played well in a dominant scrum display as well as around the park.

I think you're being a little harsh on the Pumas there. They moved the ball in attack and used expansive passing with players in motion to get that rapid early lead. Don't recall any "gifts" in there from the Paddies.

It's a massive risk. The bench forwards will be very important as the Argies will go to their bench and they had a big impact in the final quarter vs Ireland. Oz will need the same sort of impact from their reserves. I'd say for such an important test, if he's fit enough to be on the bench...

Serfontein is a good young player that plays in the centres

Blue - what abut Lambie to fullback?

Hooper needs to be leading the charge at the tackle. That is where Pocock is so good. He's a big time tackler and it sets the tone for others. As noted a few times, OZ were fairly passive in defence vs the Scots and therefore for most of the game they didn't have the platform they would've...

Not sure about that. I wouldn't think the Wallabies would need anything extra. It's a World Cup semi. Any focus at all on the media would just serve as a distraction.

I don't think the Boks are any more "physical" than the ABs. The AB forwards hit the ruck with some venom and don't shirk when there is ball to be contested. I actually think if it's wet then the combination of our pick n go game and our backs like Nonu, Savea and NMS will also offer that...

Will support any other team vs the Wallabies and Boks The Wallabies vs Boks tests is always a tough one. I usually cheer for a draw :)
