Why the hell was Horne on the bench?
Great win!!!
Great win!!!
That's fantastic!
Very impressed with the boys tonight. Much more so in the first than second half, but great job nonetheless. I can't remember the forwards playing with as much combined assertiveness for almost...oh...exactly 12 years.

What a game, what a year for horwill, keep the trophies coming son.
blacks came back as we knew they would. Their pick and go is very effective with refs giving full advantage to the ball carrier.
Best thing for me is that the Wobbs weren't going to go down tonight without having a bash, literally. A very physical performance by our guys and I think we really threw the blacks off their game that first half which brought us enough breathing room.
Goal kicking is still an issue - we should have had the game wrapped up with 10 to go. Yeah the kicks are a bit tough but thats the difference.
What happened to our lineout tonight? IT looked like the hoooker didn't know the calls? Scrum was ok, we got owned once or twice but also held our own at times when I thought we would fold.
our backs were great, if smith wasn't on the AB team we would have won by plenty.
Overall, if we can play 80 mins with the intensity and execution we did in the 1st half we are unbeatable. I still have my doubts we can do it in NZ, but by christ I am a happy man tonight

Hard to pick the MOM's since they played well as a team and there didn't seem to be anyone having a bad game on the paddock tonight.

Congratulations Wobs fans.
What a game.
Observations:
1. Vickerman is a fucking warrior. Pack sings a different song with him wrecking it.
2. How can you drop someone for JOC (James O'Connor) now? Oops.
3. Other than the offside line at the ruck, I can see why Barnes is considered the best ref in the world.
4. Cooper is a star but Genia makes him shine.

What a great game. Mighty first half from the Wallabies, mighty second half from the AB's.
Very well refereed by Barnes, as Blue rightly pointed out (except for the offside line). Got an awful sense of deja vu in the second half, how many times have we seen the Wallabies go to sleep in teh second half while leading and wake up with the game lost.

Bloody immense game by Radike Samo. Probably my MOM. Not just for that try but in general. Bloody fantastic. Genia, Vickerman and Pocock were fantastic too.
Can I also say, I understand some people may be disgruntled by a few calls by the ref, but what I loved was the fantastic contest allowed by referee Barnes, let down by that idiot Wessells.
Great game from both sides. Great game of rugby. Loved every second of it.
