Well, we're certainly battle-hardened.

Good post. What you're describing is something that Barnes does very well.

My personal theory is we try to go outside Smith, inside Nonu and over Cruden.

That's what happens when large numbers of people want to move in to your country, as opposed to large numbers of people wanting to move out of it. :)

Dr Cyeuss!

Only take a half next time. ;)

On the contrary, it's a recurring theme of Wallaby backline play to try to get outside Smith's outside shoulder. It's a known weakness, and we've scored a few that way.

I think not. Half-healed hammies are a ticking bomb. Firstly, by playing just a few days too soon he could end up with a grade three tear, be out for half of next season and have recurring injuries throughout his career. Secondly, it increases the risk of us losing multiple players during the...

Wallaby supporters: made from steel. Fortunately the team have shown rather more starch.

Nah.

This is true. He should have dealt with Burger.

You tackled him in the air, kiap. Yellow for you!

Roussow had both arms round Samo's legs from when when Samo's started to dewscent until his head hit the ground. Attached is a screen shot on the way down.

I'm a huge Beale fan but we don't lose much with Barnes at 15. Maybe, in a RWC semi, his cool head is for the best. I hope Kurtley recovers though.

How so? Roussow took out Samo's legs. Dangerous play. It is as clear as day in the replay.

Someone once told me that the Dutch had distilled all their madness and sent it off to South Africa. I thought that was hardly fair comment, since the Dutch are obviously still mad. It also happens to be a rugby compliment of the first order: it is their 'madness' - their extremity of...

Thanks Paarlbok. Typical South African graciousness. The better rugby team by most measures lost on the day. But it was an epic battle, and your guys have won enough gritty defensive efforts over the years that you know how it feels for us to have won one as well!

I obviously don't think 'that was the case'. But I do think 1 and 4 were.

It was the accumulation of sharp one-line criticisms that made it sound like shit-stirring, DPK.
