Australia v South Africa - Perth - 6 September 2014

[Slim 293]

Beale showed his worth as an impact player once again.

To'omua was a bit up and down but boy his clean out and defence is effective. You won't get that stuff from KB (Kurtley Beale).

Players like Beale and Higgers are just best suited to being impact players off the bench...........

 

[Lorenzo]

A
A draw and pass for the try plus a good run in broken play doesn't make a good game. The guy rushes up in defence and is weak in contact. I still don't get it. Mind you he was better than To'omua tonight

He's not weak in contact, he almost always gets across the line and gets the ball to ground.

 

[Shiggins]

Same as allways though. We bombed 2 try's. Should Of won easily. Well not easily but easier

 

[Lorenzo]

Has to be worth giving Higgers another crack at the 15. Probably not Beale at the moment.

 

[Pfitzy]

Stuck to what?

The refs coat tails?

No team should lose like that. Never.

Bryan's yellow card was bullshit.

But you had us penalised at scrum time for what was clearly loss of footing, and then you had a penalty rather than a penalty try for one of the Boks (JdV) walking into our backline to intercept the ball when he was outnumbered 3-1.

We tried our best to lose that game. Fuck we did some dumb things.

There are going to be a lot of people unhappy with the player rankings this week

Saying Kuridrani is weak in contact is like saying Mogg is strong in contact............

 

[ChargerWA]

That's our worst win ever, thoughts?

Maybe not ever, but certainly in the last few years. SA should be rightfully gutted.

But SA still has some issues. I think they're further away from the ABs than they were last year.

Possibly...........

Palu was very poor once again.............

 

[Highlander35]

Stirzaker/Debreczeni as the Wallaby halves?

 

[Lorenzo]

Possibly.....

Palu was very poor once again.....

Certainly in attack. People say he works hard at the ruck and in and defence. I don't watch him closely when he doesn't have the pill so I can't really say.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Aussies get out've jail. Again. And they say history never repeats. If it were anyone else I'd feel sorry but Sethricka... yeah, nah, see ya in Wellywood.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

I felt better watching us this game than the last game we played. That may of had something to do with the closer score board & I'm just happy for the win.

But overall we were not that impressive. If we don't sort our ourselves out quick smart we'll be the Puma's first home ground scalp, they may have been ordinary last year in the RC but they look a lot more up to it this year.

 

[KOB1987]

You've got to be joking?

no, not really..Beale made a big difference when he came on..

but maybe the masses are right, in that he's best coming on for the last 30 off the bench..

just depends, do we want a playmaker at 12, or one that can defend his arse off and clean out at the ruck..

arguments for both schools as always..

 

[Slim 293]

Palu did put in a couple of good tackles, but otherwise he's not playing at his best...........

 

[Blue]

My rational side tells me we fucked up.

We were camped in your 22 for about 25 minutes and could not score a try or force on more penalty.

We could have put the game away already by the time of the send off.

I don't think you can equate possible penalties to s end off. I can pick two or three times that the Boks were penalised unfairly and if I watched th game again I can probably pick ones where the Wallabies should have been pinged.

We were on top and that killed our momentum.

We are going to get arsed by the All Blacks. Horribly.

 

[WTF?]

If he lets it bounce, it's a real lottery. If it bounces to our tryline and the Boks scoop, you'd be screaming at Horwill for not taking it. In the end it was the right decision, but it's not one I'd want to make in a split second.

No, it's our scrum if it doesn't go 10. Our scrum was pretty good really, we won the scrum contest overall.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Same as allways though. We bombed 2 try's. Should Of won easily. Well not easily but easier

And the Boks probably bombed at the very least 2.

Too many Bok tight forwards getting in the way of their backs

 

[Lorenzo]

Beale's too much of a defensive liability to play 12 at test level. It's not even close.

 

[Moono75]

Go Shiggins

To'omua is a playmaker though, he set up one try and nearly another................

And if anyone was going to get dropped from that performance it would be Foley who, aside from his goal kicking, was very poor...............
