RWC 2011 - Quarter final 3 : Springbokke v. Wallabies CLOSED

[FrankLind]

Vickerman should be careful of the way he enters rucks.

 

[FrankLind]

Pocock is keeping you in the game.

 

[Blob]

Pocock is keeping you in the game.

That and a complete lack of Saffa structure.

 

[grievous]

Oz finishing poorly now, far too pedestrian, FFS why so up and down?

 

[Blob]

Disappointing game really. Surprisingly bad.

 

[QuadeCooperFan]

how good has the Wobs defence been though? its amazing that the Boks haven't scored a try. Pat McCabe is a trooper

 

[maxdacat]

Some awful play there from Oz, dropped passes, lack of ball security at the breakdown. Why was Genia just looking at the ball and not passing at 40 mins. WTF!!!!!

 

[rsea]

Doing well
Conservative but holding our own at Ruck & set piece

 

[grievous]

Still anybodys really, Wallabies have to wake up and keep the ball, hardly really attacked

You're still winning though. Considering the territorial dominance of the Boks, I'd be happy with the score.

 

[rsea]

Quade in trouble. Still. Need Barnes at 12 pronto
2nd half will be different game.
Saffers will regroup and cone out with plan B

 

[light]

Springboks won't have 22 fit players next week at this rate, Habana and du Plessis are really struggling. With Brussouw they would probably be winning, Pocock is being allowed to dominate the breakdowns with no real competition other than the referee.

Bring on Barnes ASAP at 10 for Cooper and Fainga'a at 12 for McCabe.

 

[Blob]

Some weird mutual scrum reamings too. Some serious ground being made in some of those shoves from both sides though the Saffas have to better of it on balance I'd say.

 

[Garryowen]

Good attitude from the Wobs, but poor play generally. Cooper has been terrible. If possession evens itself out, I think the Wobs will run away with this, particularly the Boks tire as expected.

Still, Boks look more secure with the ball.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

It's a QF, just have to win by 1 point, not 1000.

Wonder who listens to coach during oranges? Game will be won in the first 10 minutes of 2nd half.

Cooper to get serious. Saffa need to play to a plan, A, B, or C doesn't matter, they are aimless.

 

[Roundawhile]

Kicked every opportunity first half, will run it a lot more in the second. I like it!

We need quade playing his natural game. Barnes at 12 will help that. Barnes at 10 = disaster

 

[louie]

SA are awful with ball in hand. Australia will get ball as the game goes on. Australia look good. QC (Quade Cooper) needs to Artois and they'll get through.

 

[maxdacat]

Quade in trouble. Still. Need Barnes at 12 pronto
2nd half will be different game.
Saffers will regroup and cone out with plan B

Or at 10

 

[naza]

Our halves are killing us. Quade with errors. Genia with his option taking, gifting possession away with his predictable box kicks. We can't absorb another half of 60% Bok posession.
