Am ran a great line on the 22 and dropped the ball. he had two runners on hos outside coming at pace. It looked like a draw and pass to me. I think he could have done better in the grounding when Tate got under him.

For the Boks, this should cause some introspection. The game plan in itself is not sustainable. If you are slightly off, you get into trouble. Smart tactics will expose you. Wallabies did what the Lions failed to do. Having said that we botched two tries (both Am) and our goal kicking was...

Congrats Wallaby fans. Well deserved.

I think this will be a LOT closer than people think. Play helter skelter and get a lead and you are in with a shot. Go toe to toe and try and muscle up and you are not. The Boks are going to slow this right down in the first fourty and risk nothing. They want to drag you into shitfight.

Four. Vermeulen is a genuine lineout option.

Three loosies on the bench (Mostert covers lock).

Springboks – 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Sbu Nkosi, 13 Lukhanyo Am, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Handre Pollard, 9 Faf de Klerk, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Franco Mostert, 6 Siya Kolisi (c), 5 Lood de Jager, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Steven Kitshoff. Subs: 16...

Play fast. Get a lead. Make us chase the game.

Kolbe in doubt. https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/boks-sweat-over-kolbes-availability-for-wallabies-showdown/

Ok. Be aware that the Bok strategy has been to use de Allende to force the opposing 10 to make a LOT of tackles. I have no doubt they will target him with ball runners and hard hits like they did against G Ford and Biggar. Eventually, it wears them down. Just saying the obvious.

To me, you guys have to play Kerevi at 12 to counter de Allende who is going to run at Lolesio all day long.

Just does not strike me as a smart footballer.

Ja just my Mom left there and she soldiers on. She will never leave her Bridge, book and baking groups. Not for any money in the world.

Can't even vokken travel to Queensland to go and see this. Thanks, Australian premiers. This year's travel plans were always going to be a trip to SA to see the Lions followed by a trip to NZ for the 100th test. That went well.

I don't see any Springbok selection surprises. Likely Bok 23: 15. Le Roux 14. Kolbe. 13. Am, 12. de Allende, 11. Mapimpi, 10. Pollard, 9 de Klerk 8. Wiese, 7. Mostert 6. Kolisi, 5. De Jager, 4. Etsebeth, 3. Nyakane, 2. Mbonambi, 1. Kitshoff 16. Marx, 17. Nche, 18. Koch, 19. Janse van Rensburg...

Will there be a Wallaby selection shakeup? What can the Wallabies change? Fewer intercepts and a batter lineout might be a good start. Will the Boks strategy change much from the Lions series? Will anyone in the Gold Coast care?

BIG WALLABY GAPS: 2, 6, 8, 10, 13 10 is a real problem. Lolesio is not taking the step up. I also now remember that Folau F is not skilled enough for this level. Ikitau Start Bell and Thor FFS.

Looks like an average, middle-of-the-table Super rugby team. What an insult. The arrogance of the Kiwis these days knows no bounds. Kick them out I say. Not in MY Australia.

I thought Australia is already run on Mcarthyism? Sure feels like it.

France went through a lean patch. They suddenly have depth. And some real talent. They can beat anyone if they get the top 1% right. Always the problem though.
