Kuridrani had a cracker. He was a real handful in that outer channel. We've still got a lot of issues in the halves, but the flatter style at least saw us get over the gain line. Commiserations Springbok supporters, that was a shit of a game to lose. Particularly when you played the conditions...

Even though it shouldn't have been a yellow, if we can't put some point so here, then it's game over.

That was Pienaar that time.

It is the same structural issues that are plaguing us yet again: 1. Territorial kicking; 2. Set piece; 3. Collisions; 4. The breakdown; 5. Execution of basic skills. Geez I wish that list didn't look like that.

Maybe he stole Ritchies' cloak..

Watch for the scrum penalty, and subsequent kick for goal.

Eddie Jones has a lot to answer for.

And the Springbok gameplan against the wind is revealed. He, if you can do it, why not?

The backline looks like they've actually met before.

Thanks, just thought I'd let you know I'm not watching fox. Apology accepted.

Your boys still have our measure there though.

Question for our Perth folk - how stiff is the breeze out that way currently? We are getting smoked in the territorial kicking, and I'm wondering if it is our players or the wind.

I'm liking the physical edge the piggies have bought so far, however it is the usual suspects giving away silly penalties again!

I totally agree. Tonight was a classical arm wrestle. There may have been no tries scored, and the game ended in a draw, but I was glued to my couch the whole time.

Exactly. I like the look of our backrow, however it is in the tight five, specifically the front row that where I am a bit worried. Nathan Charles is certainly stepping into a baptism of fire, and I hope the occasion (and ABs) don't get the better of him. Where the ABs might run away with it...

Hmm, I'm not sure what that actually has to do with your - or my - argument. Let's not forget, it is the Wallabies playing tonight, not the Reds, or Tahs, or Brumbies.

I never would have guessed you were being facetious if you had not pointed it out.. It is pretty well documented that McKenzie has long been a fan of Beale at 10. Nevermind the fact that he has swapped first receiver duties with Foley throughout the Super Rugby season this year. Don't let the...

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. That's why he has selected Beale at 10..

Nah, surely it is either Jerry Collins or Reuben Thorne. I heard that ZInzan Brooke is looking at making a comeback too. This is a fun game!

Technically I'm a Reds fan, but seeing as my team played like busted arseholes this year, I threw my lot in with the Brumbies come finals time.
