Thanks to DP over on the AB Puma thread:
We have Snyman and PSTD starting. Marx is joined by Kwagga in the Bomb Squad.
SO, I'm finding it silly to not recognise where we are coming from nor how the odds stand for this game. BUT in terms of standings we have nothing to loose. Literally. A loss to the Springboks has nil impact of the rankings. OTOH a win, albeit unlikely, would be massive. Not just nothing to lose but everything to play for.
The Wallabies are still raw, and a couple of key positions where we are not particularly settled, but still the guys standing up have real potential. I'm quite keen to see Gordon at 9 compared to White last time. I seem to be "on a limb" but I'm OK with Lolesio. I've really enjoyed watching Faessler build across the internationals. While I am more resigned than excited about Wright, the combination at 14/15 is doing the job. That is pretty much the key tactical positions covered. From there we need the set piece performing from front row (scrum) and jumpers.
On a personal note (Red glasses on) I'm seriously enthused about seeing Zane coming onto the field for that first scrum. Give 'em heaps, mate.
Who the fuck knows, stranger things have happened. Wallabies by 2.

But what exactly did he do well to counteract these two pretty glaring issues for a test match 10?

You should tell your kids to drink more - that generally makes a loss more palatable

If Wales didn't make a slight engagement error at the maul, his poor kick that didn't find touch would have led to the Welsh taking the lead and being in the box seat to win the game. Not a defining moment? Little errors like that are literally the defining moments in games. That's why NZ win so damn much, they don't make those schoolboy errors

Any gossip on why TT is missing the game?

Thanks DB, I wonder why that wasn't announced when he pulled out. Maybe I missed it.

Positive points for Aus:
- Boks often dont travel well.
- they struggle to give too many fucks outside of RWC.
That's it.
If that bok XV turn up with blood on the brain then Aus are completely fucked. 5"11 95kg Tizzano? Lolesio?
Completely.
Fucked.
It was reported that there was a death in the family

You missed it. Don't know how. Your post almost feels like a troll.

As predicted weeks ago when a day test was scheduled. As long as they spend money, Phil Waugh will care less.
