Wallabies v Springboks - Adelaide Oval, Sat 27th August, 2022

[Kenny Powers]

Something was going on for Leota to step in for Tupou though.

Must have been a called play and Leotia wanting it more and injecting himself into the game.

 

[LeCheese]

I fucking love beating the saffas, can't wait to see their bleating about the ref conspiracy and how Paul Williams isn't allowed into SA. At this rate they'll have no refs left available to visit.

Yeah there’s already a LOT of chat about no arms in Koro’s big tackle. Hard to wrap in time when you’re moving at the speed of sound

Makes me sleep very, very well at night

 

[Joe Blow]

The Wallabies absorbed an enormous amount of pressure in that first half. The game was won then. SA didn’t have much in attack

 

[Shiggins]

How does Hodge kick it 50m into touch every day in Aussie A and super but for Aus he kicks it 30m

 

[Joe Blow]

Hodge was excellent. I think in the first half he was kicking into a breeze?

 

[Derpus]

Yeah Hodge was really good. Fuss everything asked of him including a few textbook cover tackles.

 

[Proud Pig]

His arms were there to wrap in the tackle but Mapimpi decided to launch himself into the air. To my mind in that situation unless it is a blatant shoulder charge it is all good.

Based on the Sowakula ruling I'm pretty sure Mapimpi actually infringed.

 

[Ignoto]

At what point do the Springboks throw this crappy game plan out the windows?

It's all too reliant on your goal kicker being on song and the opposition not being able to take contestable kicks. They looked pretty bloody lethal going out wide so you have to wonder if they'll resort to a more ball in hand game plan next weekend.

Best thing about that Slipper pass is, Itll now be the pass I remember of him instead of the Scottish one in 2015!

Wasnt really much breeze to speak of at the ground

 

[PhilClinton]

McReight was good, finding himself in the right place often, good players do that.

As mentioned on the commentary he really is an elite on ball player and teams are altering game plans for him.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Dismal how much would you pay to see Faf and White locked in an Octagon for five 5 minute rounds?

And who’s the betting favourite?

Under a duty of care owed by promoters and the need to provide the pay per view channel more than a 5 second spectacle White wouldn’t be allowed into the ring. The fight would never happen.

 

[Shiggins]

Absolute cop out letting Smith score by rolling down the field at the end.

 

[Shiggins]

Yeah Hodge was really good. Fuss everything asked of him including a few textbook cover tackles.

Completely agree. Hodge is always. And I mean always great but his kicking is off at times. Doesn't seem to make the most of his ability

 

[Joe Blow]

I think he was conservative with his kicking today………except the one that was about 2cm from the corner.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Dismal how much would you pay to see Faf and White locked in an Octagon for five 5 minute rounds?

Nic White, easy.

I am sure he has The Bumcrack Boomfa Reverse Dutch Oven Chopper Suplex Skull Piledriver in his arsenal.

Don’t think I’m a fan of SBW as a commentator

His "Bro" talk is almost unintelligible, let alone his English. As a talking head, he makes a good Moai.

 

[cyclopath]

ps Fran Steyn with possibly the single worst performance by a substitute in rugby football test match history.

Ate all the way from Jo'burg to Adelaide by the looks.

If they’re after a recent player, they should lock in Will Genia, his work on the show recently was top rate
