I'll support anyone but the Boks or Wallabies.... How about an ANZAC pact, if the ABs and Wallabies lose their respective semis, they don't bother turning up for the 3v4 game. I know I won't be waking up to watch it live, which will break my 16 year streak of watching every AB test live.

In that 2013 test right at the end (around 14:06) Le Roux with one of the more obvious knock downs unpenalised or uncarded :)

Argentina by 3. Wallaby fans to claim moral victory scoring 2 tries to 1 but ill discipline will cost them many points.

Just watched the first half and Joubert had an almost flawless half. Reffed really well. The only clanger in my view was awarding Sio a breakdown penalty. Sio clearly had his arms all over the deck before competing for the ball and his torso leaning on the ball carrier. Other than that well done.

Don't know what you are talking about. The 99 WC ended after the quarter finals.......

Just watched a few Argie highlights from the pool games and QF. They've got genuine pace out wide in Cordero and Imhoff. Was quite surprised at how these guys can really motor.

He frequents TSF, so is very well informed of the "facts". My jokes are yet to make one of his pieces though surprisingly..... :)

Geez it's going to be a long week.......

It was a panel review and the statement would not have been released without consensus. It's not some rogue individual trying to seek some form of vindication for his countrymen.

Of course there is. Phipps is a magician that has the new invisibility cloak. He tries to gather a ball it hits his body, then takes a swipe at the ball with his arm where he hits it back and like magic, Joubert and many others don't see it. Excuse the pun but Phipps is worth his weight in...

Mank - much is said about the forwards winning games etc, however last week before the French test I wrote that how Carter and Nonu play will largely determine the result. Both of them were standouts and we put on a big score. The Boks need to crowd them, particularly Nonu. Force him to catch...

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but another reason I think Cooper didn't get a run is because he's not in the top 23 and Cheika may be wanting to stick with the guys that will continue to play. Now of course if there are debilitating injuries then he will come in, but we all know that...

There's no way Foley will get dropped, let alone for Quade. I don't mind Quade and think he's shown a new maturity to his game, but if Foley was really struggling last week and the coach didn't replace him then, then there's no way he's going to do it in a higher pressure test match. Foley is...

De Allende and Kriel are a very promising young midfield duo. They are robust in defence and attack. They are still finding what works for them at the highest level and developing that all round game needed in a 'world class' midfield combo. They both like to tuck the ball under and go at the...

Sounds like you are trying to take credit away. Australia's tries were down to terrible defensive execution by Scotland. Midfield players could've made different decisions. What difference does it make? Australia were under pressure when those situations occurred, or else why did they...

Gift try to Kurindrani = 7 points Gift try to Mitchell = 7 points 7+7 = 14 gift points to OZ

What has that got to do with the final penalty call? For what it's worth the Wallabies were also "gifted" tries by dumb defensive decisions of Scotland. just like the poor decisions by Foley and Slipper. Fun game this isn't it....

He knocked it back with his hand. It is clear on the replay that Phipps moves his arm in a backward motion.

That was a really disappointing finish to the test match that penalty call given that it wasn't a penalty and should've been an OZ scrum. The fact that Phipps touched it put that 'offside' Scot player onside. Comes back to the original offence. Very disappointing because it did decide the...

No point playing the same tune, doesn't sound any better the 2nd time. Scotland got there and and played well. Put the Wallabies under pressure to make mistakes. That is the reality, not some warped view you keep spouting
