Hanigan is again proving his doubters correct. Dempsey didn't do much to claim the 6 for himself either.

Cronje is a fantastic player. Everything you want in a halfback.
Good counter by Beale.
Both teams out on their feet.

Messy scrum for the Boks, but Wallabies give away a penalty. Rookie mistake

Kurindrani great tackle.
Didn’t that go forward?

Ah, it came off a Wallaby hand and Boks regathered. Koro with a rookie mistake.

Wallaby players acting like they don’t know the rules of a penalty kick.

Both sides did some great stuff in attack, but matched that brilliance with some silly penalties and schoolboy errors. Some very costly defensive lapses too. I gotta say that if you looked at the whole 80, both sides would be disappointed, but that neither side would necessarily be saying they played well and above their opposition.

The defensive spacing and staying committed to your channel cost the Wallabies that one.
Referee didn't control the scrum well at all, on the bind call he was allowing both packs to set. However I suspect his refereeing of the scrum was to Australias advantage which made up for some other calls in the game.

Skosan's hands were over the dead line as he grounded the ball. Should have been Wob scrum 5m out. Should have been yellow for the hair tackle. We've seen red for less in Super Rugby.
Serfontein was monstrous and Cronje is indeed a great halfback. Thought Foley did well bar one or two mistakes.
Reece Hodge intercepted 2 certain tries - both in pretty identical fashion.
Boks' defense lacking.

An OK result considering the recent record in SA and how exhausted some of the players looked around 65 mins.
Usually after conceding our heads would drop but good to see we were able to hit back.
A decent game from Koroibete with 2 tries but still not sold on his positioning. Multiple times he and Hodge were on the same wing but that is something to work on I guess.
The scrambling defence after they got around us out wide was good to see with Hodge getting in the way at least twice to save us.
Not sure the match officials will want to see a review of this one. They were poor for both sides tonight. That 3m forward 'pass' at the end, if that had cost us the game I would personally start a crowd fund for Cheik's fine.
Neither will Folau who might get a call from the citing commissioner under 10.4(m)

Don't forget guys this is just meant to be constructive criticism of the Wallaby playmaker position....win or loose!
Bernard's Foleys.....the good and the bad!
......once again I almost wasn't bothered to do this......but the first few minutes were simply diabolical for our "playmaker"
First 3mins Foley misses a tackle defending on the wing....again
And then taps and kicks away advantage and doesn't find touch :0. (Gives them possession and puts us back on our 5m under huge pressure)
7th min Foley flicks a good pass too Folou on the wing who makes a good run
10th min Foley involved with Magic set piece try to Folou making the last inside pass.
13th min Foley almost prevents an overlap out wide.......falls off the tackle, although slowed him down till cover helped!(I spose that's good lol)
17th min. Foley gets flat run over by Marcs defending beside the scrum.(kepu makes tackle)
18th min. Foley makes a terrible defensive shuffle and follows Coleman out wide too far and let's a linebreak thru inside them.(terrible numbering up with Coleman)
18thmin Foley falls off another tackle(moztert)....still trying to clean up the linebreak scramble!
20th min. Foley slips a short ball too Beale.....then makes a very awkward/odd attempt at cleaning out, falling over and fumbling totally ineffective at "helping" secure the ball.....
19th min. Kicks good pen conv to bring up 500th wallaby point!
25th min. Foley kicks good contestable restart (that we regather)
26th min. Foley does the ole kick it out dead trick wasting penalty-line out adv ball on their try line! :0
35th min. Foley puts a clearance kick out on the full! :0
HALF TIME.....so far another poor overall 40min session by our "playmaker" Foley, putting us under pressure far too often whilst adding no attacking threat......nor on Defence for that matter. Perfect conv rate atm tho with 3/3.
4 of the teams 10 1st half missed tackles are from Foley!
45th min. Foley makes a good try assist linebreak and passes for Korriebeti try.
48th min. Foley makes up for his try assist a few min earlier by being carried about 8metres for a Skosan Try with another bad tackle. (despite it being open play and Genias tackle....Foley gets to the player but simply grabs him too high with bad technique).
53rd min. Very tough call but Foley knocks on, he could have caught a tricky flick pass from Folou under adv. (I'd expect ball skills to be spot on for our "plamaker") (the moments that win games)
56th min. Foley great flat wide pass for Korribeti try!Great sideline conversion! 5/5
76th min. Foley again makes a bad call in Defence....coming in off his number and leaving Folou with THREE defenders....lucky Koribeti covers making a try saving tackle!
For me...once again a terrible overall display for a playmaker....some good "place kicking" and in the 2nd half was far more involved in attack, but so many missed tackles, mistakes and poor decision making! OMG. Let's gets some depth at 10 allready....argh

^^^Who would you pick in his place?
Or should we start with 14 and see how the game develops?
I’m no Foley fan at all but I gave up criticising when QC (Quade Cooper) lost his mojo, LILO got sick and Tomua went to aviva.

It was an exciting test to watch but our bench was pretty meh. Dempsey and Rodda were very quiet. Surely it is time to reinstate Arnold alongside Coleman and also to bring Timani back in to the back row, especially so against a side like the Boks?
Hanigan was OK off the bench. Timani for 40-50 to be replaced Hanigan could work.
Dissapointing to draw a game that could easily have been won except for a coupe of missed tackles and lapses in defense. Should have taken 3 pointers twice when we went for the corner as well.
