Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

[Wilson]

Really good work from the Australian front row round the ground so far

 

[Shiggins]

Hard done to there. Vermulem off his feet at the breakdown

 

[BarneySF]

Some nice grass cutting tackling from the Wobs

 

[Dctarget]

Ahhh too easy penalty. Hopefully they don't score another maul try. As half time blows, there have been some great performances so far, but Nigel Owens for me has been amazing.

 

[oztimmay]

Lucky lineout turnover. They were on.

 

[Aussie D]

Habana has come back on

 

[Bairdy]

Bob Skindstad berating the Wallabies for their 'illegal tactics' at the maul. Wont go into much more detail than that naturally.

 

[Dctarget]

Half time 10-5 Wallabies lead by some great defense.

 

[qwerty51]

Phipps doing great on defence. We've got this.

 

[Shiggins]

Wallabies defence the story of the first half. And kuindrani. And Owens doing a good job.

 

[maxdacat]

wow....some defence from Oz there.

 

[Marcelo]

Knock-on by le Roux!!! Yeaaaaah

 

[Aussie D]

was that the best half of rugby that Oz has played since 2011?

 

[Kate Elizabeth]

Great defensive work and just enough good attacking lay to have us in front. But bloody hell can we sort out our kicking please?

 

[oztimmay]

was that the best half of rugby that Oz has played since 2011?

All except for the kicking.

 

[FilthRugby]

Speaking about players who have earned their jersey - add Tevita Kuridrani to that list. Apart from one mistake, he has been outstanding. Hopefully a long term #13!

 

[Chunderstruck]

Bob Dwyer said quite a while ago that TK should be our long-term 13 because he's a beast and runs straight. Proof is in the pudding!

 

[chasmac]

Hectic half.
Loving the commitment.
Phipps TK and Fardy having big games.

 

[Aussie D]

Chunder think you will find that Bob has been calling for Tevita to be the 12 with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13

 

[BDA]

well fuck. not sure if its cause iv been drinking since 2pm but that was fuckin impressive. wallabies looking shit hot. Not sure they'll be able to hold on in the second half but if they can perform like they did in the first we're a real chance.

go you good thing.

also, two words - tevita kuridrani. shades of the great Stirling Mortlock
