Australia v South Africa - Perth - 6 September 2014

[WTF?]

Horwill. What were you thinking? Bokke don't kick it 10, but don't slow play, take the scrum with our feed and wind the clock down but grab it and hope we can hang on for 60 seconds. Lucky we did.

 

[Crazy Grey]

Another terrible northern hemisphere ref but congrats to the boys with the win. They stuck to it and earnt themselves something. Beale needs 30 mins min even if he does come off the bench.

 

[Shiggins]

Stuck to what?

The refs coat tails?

No team should lose like that. Never.

It happens to us all the time.

 

[qwerty51]

That's our worst win ever, thoughts?

 

[FrankLind]

Bizarre they carded Habana even after seeing the replay.

 

[Blue]

Jean de Villiers class as always.

Don't know how he does that.

 

[Shiggins]

That's our worst win ever, thoughts?

No. Boks in the World Cup was

 

[FrankLind]

Yes it does in your mind Shiggins, both for the Wallabies and Force.

 

[ChargerWA]

The frenchy in the all blacks game was the worst i have ever seen. Ever

So you've never seen Stuart Berry referee a Lions home game then?

And give Steyn a shot from halfway when we give away a scrum penalty?

I held off quoting this form earlier in the thread.....

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

 

[Ash]

Well done Wallabies!!!!

Awesome..

Stuck to it. Great stuff!!!!

Beale must be at 12.

Beale's attack demands he must be at 10 or 12, yet Beale's defence demands he be right out of the 23. It's a real issue.

Our halves are a real issue right now, there's no clear answer. Outside of his goal kicking and that last pass, Foley was very very average, and Phipps' passing was too all over the shop. To make it worse, Genia was awful in his return from injury in the NRC today. We have no-one else.

Same for the forwards. Only change we can do is Horwill starting, but apart from that, there's no-one else.

 

[Shiggins]

lol. Did u watch the abs game though? Was terrible from the kick off

 

[ACT Crusader]

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).

I thought it was the right decision. Would you have backed our scrum tonight.

No, you don't...................

 

[The Rant]

glad that wasn't giteau kicking the conversion!

 

[Shiggins]

We need to use the ITM cup referees. They mostly have been great. Keep these European pricks up north.

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.

de Villiers is all class.
