Apart from Tupou's late withdrawal I don't think we were missing any more than you would for a normal test match. Tupou was a big loss and didnt play, but Sio was fit and played from the 64th minute. A step up from Gibbon ss reserve IMHO. Apart from Quade Cooper and Banks, who were our definite starting backs missing?
We lost Hunter and Noah during the game to HIA and 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) played 80 because Thor couldnt play

Come on. We just lost a rugby match not a war.
Agreed. Whilst they can boast to be the most arrogant fuckers on the planet, the average saffer is not proud of that era and are genuinely nice people. This ain’t the place for that, leave it alone.

I need to be careful, because disappointment gets the better of me. After the England test it was into the naughty corner after expressing my frustration. Fair enough to. Ok, enough of the self flagellation. I'm 65 years old and have followed the Wallabies since I was 5. Been through the highs and lows, pretty well never missed a test if I was in the right part of the world at the time. That's ALOT of tests. I have never ever left one early. Tonight I left with 10 to go. Apparently we scored a try, big shit. That was the most incompetent display I can remember. Sure, there have been worst over the 60 years,but tonight was in a class of it own because we had hope. I just don't think I can commit again. I don't know the answer, but I do know you can't have Nic White and Tom Wright in the same team. I like both, but both are subject to brain fades where they do the most stupid things and put their team under further pressure. More change is required.

Rennie also said post match they had a light wind in their favour in the first half which is why he would have liked to see Hodge kicking up the centre rather than white box kicking.

Expect White to go. He always thinks he can save the situation,

I think the thing that really brought my rage out was watching white setup for every box kick, telegraph the shit out of it, kicking into the wind going nowhere while Hodge is standing outside the pocket and the saffs all on the right knowing they have it covered.


exaactly, the young guy next to me was going wild. If we could see it why then .....?

I find it weird people who leave games early. Each to their own, I stick out anything I pay to watch.

I'm not sure what to think of the game. We never got into it. We got beat by the World Champions..I'll just forgot it, we have the All Blacks soon so another game soon.

And if the results so far are anything to go by we should be in for a win.

Same calf I wonder… that’s what happens when you rush players back before they’re fit

he did it in training, sprinting to the buffet.

You don't act 65 do you... You act 12, I wasn't having a go at you. But clearly you have trouble regulating your emotions...sorry to offend. Now count to ten you'll feel better.

Bro - we spanked them last week and the RC is on a knife edge. Chill.

We aren't world beaters and Nobody isn't lining up in the row anymore. Shit nights are gunna happen and the Boks are the world champions.

Always next week mate.

Strange game for us. Our set piece was better than the previous week but we got done in the collisions and at the breakdown. At half time I still felt reasonably confident that we could come home well but losing Paisami and then Noah was too much to overcome. Losing TT before kickoff was also a blow. Could they not have chosen a back up/replacement?
The Boks definitely got the rub of the green tonight and we didn’t do ourselves any favours with some of our option taking, from White and Wright in particular.

Disappointing for sure but they were deserving of a comfortable win.

Great win for the Springskoppe. RasNaber show we need to bring in more of our younger player. Willemse did well in 10 but he should never kick. His offload, stepping and defense is good. Young Moodie pass his debut with flying colours. We have a shite load of loosies but Rasnaber needs to give the likes of Gelant Fourie, Kwagga, Roos, Moerat, Nortje and Louw more game time.

They’d be whinging more if they stayed in the Republic and reaped what they sowed instead of running away to here and acting superior.
That''s pretty crap, you remember the play the ball ethos of GGR?

Mate I like you, I cannot ever understand why you would leave early regardless of how the result looks. I stay glued to my seat until after final whistle.
On the game , as a neutral I think you right, for some eason right from kick off Wallabies didn't look to be in the contest. I don't know if the Boks hit them hard early and they were gun shy, but they certainly never looked like winning, or really being that close.
