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

[Ash]

Mess made of that kick off and. 5m scrum to the Wobs.

Strong run from Barnes.

 

[Bardon]

Great covering tackle for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) there he's looked really good the whole game. 13 is definitely his best position and he should be picked there 1st instead of being the one to fill in after the rest of the backline is picked.

 

[Happy]

How far offside was he?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

That is so cynical PK for Gold. Almost a cardable offence?

19-16 to Gold after Archie's Dad kicks the PK from right in front.

Liam Gill is now on. Timani off.

 

[Happy]

Penalty kick right in front for Barnes.

 

[maxdacat]

19-16 oz

 

[FrankLind]

SA scrum is shit.

C'mon Aussie.

 

[Ash]

Gift three.

This game is going to go down to the wire.

Wobs with the run of play right now.

19 to 16.

 

[Ash]

Poor clearance from Genia off the side of the boot.

Gill warming up apparently.

 

[Happy]

We haven't grubbered for nearly 5 minutes now.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Get sharpe off!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

TPN looking a bit wobbly. Sharp getting treatment.

Hopefully we don't need Fingers to go on.

 

[Happy]

Sharpe down. Barnes takes a kick then goes down too. And Barnes is off

 

[Ash]

Sharpe down, Tiamani walking, TPN looks to be struggling.

Barnes limping and replaced by Harris.

Gee few players struggling.

 

[Ash]

Wrong way, the ref missed him go off his feet on the other side of the ruck. Ah well.

 

[Happy]

Gill not strong enough to clean out there

 

[biggsy]

Drop kick coming up from saffa

 

[Ash]

Touché should've called that one. Good work from Vermuleun though.

And was a strong run from Hooper.

 

[Bardon]

Lucky pen for SA there, looked like the SA went down on one knee for a second before winning the pen.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Oh dear. Another PK to Bokke. M Steyn steps up to go for 3 points.

And locks the game up at 19-19. 67:35 gone

 

[biggsy]

Nope penalty instead

 

[Happy]

Penalty against Dennis. M Steyne for goal.
