Tri Nations - AUS v SAF 23rd July 2011.

[AngrySeahorse]

No knock on there went backwards.

 

[maxdacat]

nearly a chance.

While this is bordering on humiliation, I admit to wanting much more. I want the Wallabies to leap across that border into complete manshaming territory.

There's been some one sided fixtures between the Springboks and Wallabies in recent years. Ellis Park in 2008. Suncorp in 2006. This isn't in that realm.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Diggers has been awesome this game.

Not to mention McCabe, and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) did much better this game.

Not the blow out score I wanted but I'm not going to get disheartened by that as theres lots of good things to take out of this game.

 

[maxdacat]

Superb effort boys!

 

[grievous]

Better effort but some poor finishing there, terrible last passes, lots of work before the ABs

 

[ChargerWA]

Forward and defensive effort right to the end. That was better.

 

[qwerty51]

Higginbotham seagulling again!

(jokes, actual position was wing)

 

[Tordah]

Considering the utter crapness of the Boks in the first sixty, the win really isn't that impressive fishing, but well done anyways.

 

[Slim 293]

There's still a problematic gap between our best and second xv...

However, still a few players to return and plug that gap...

 

[GC]

Don't think Sharpie will be in the team against the ABs. Nobody predicted that a little while back. Horwill and Simmons were immense.

 

[Blue]

Bokkus horrubulus.

Smit. Retire son.

A few Boks have played themselves right out of the first 22.

 

[grievous]

McCabe, top effort, needs to make the yards against the AB to convince me yet.

 

[Larno]

Sharpie was strangely ineffective when he came on. Thought Pocock was a bit quiet tonight as well.

 

[Slim 293]

Don't think Sharpie will be in the team against the ABs. Nobody predicted that a little while back. Horwill and Simmons were immense.

Nah, lineout needs Sharpe...

 

[Blue]

Wallaby 12. MacCabe. Tick.

 

[maxdacat]

Not many of the 60,000 hanging around for the plate presentation.

 

[Slim 293]

McCabe, top effort, needs to make the yards against the AB to convince me yet.

I thought he actually passed too much tonight...

But top performance otherwise...

 

[Godfrey]

Thought sharpe looked off the pace when he came on. Good call on Simmons by Deans.

 

[qwerty51]

That's the first time I've seen Pocock and Beale have quiet games. Good signs imo from a team perspective.
