2012 Rugby Championship Round 3 Game 1 Australia vs South Africa - 8 Sep

[Happy]

Why kick it to Kirchner on the full?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Now four consecutive halves of football that the Wallabies have not scored a try. Bit hard to score without the pill. Just saw Dumper talking to Barnes in the dressing room. I just hope those seasons coaching in the Northern Hemisphere is not influencing this tactic to kick the ball away at all opportunity.

Well done Dark Shark. The Foxtel team just said the same. Good Scoop. Who is the Foxtel intern lurking on G&GR?

 

[Happy]

Owens talks to Sharpe again

 

[aeneas]

What is it with the wallabies and kicking to the opposing full back. Kirschner and Dagg have been made to look like geniuses.

This is a boks team that was down on confidence. Make it harder for them.

 

[Happy]

Missed drop goal by Steyne

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Droppies are part of the Saffer game plan. That is their second attempt.

Beast is back on.

 

[Mr Magoo]

There should be a rule drop kicks are only worth one point until its 1 minute to go!

 

[Happy]

We turn it over and Barnes kicks

 

[Hugh Jarse]

And AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) takes it to ground. No pass tonight.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Agh yes run the ball

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Ditto from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

 

[Happy]

Another grubber by Cooper. This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[maxdacat]

Oz looking good with the ball in hand. Am I missing something?

 

[Happy]

Penalty for Offside. Barnes to kick for goal. I thought AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was going to pass to Shipperley but I was mistaken.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

9 Green Pinear off side in very kickable position. Almost certain to be 3 points to Gold.

72 kicks tonight according to Foxtel

 

[maxdacat]

13-9

 

[Happy]

Kick successful. 13 to 9

 

[aeneas]

Way to give up the three

 

[Happy]

Penalty for Slipper blocking on the kickoff return. Steyne to kick for goal.

 

[ACR]

Too many times you're getting slow ball waiting to "set up", not even because of a battle at the ruck. If you are going to slow it and set up it can only be for tight forward play, not for sending pods of forwards into the midfield.
