Springboks vs Australia 2025 RC 1

"Kolisi fucks Piets up."

We call this Saturday eloquence

Aus finding some space wide. Arendse covers over from the left.

Hope Piets is okay, after the eloquence. Don't want anyone getting a broken jaw.

Eben takes Jorgenson for a walk.

What was that penalty for?

Ref calling Oz into the game

Lol that was very unlucky for O'Connor...when do you ever see a ball kicked from your own 22 go over the dead ball line?

Ouch, JOC kicks it dead from just outside his 22.

We need Mostert back to sort the lineout

Hahah that scrum....Ox might be the strongest human in earth

Why not let them play ref? Fucking hell, Boks still had advantage and were getting go forward and momentum.

Ox gets Tupou

22-5 halftime.

Can anybody claim the Bok lineout isn’t better with Mostert….how many lineouts did we lose.

Interesting 1st half.

The moment Eskom went off we struggled the breakdown and the moment he came back on we stopped struggling.

Williams is so damn good.

AE has been massive.

Eben making those offloads instead of going to ground caused problems for Oz...the RG effect?

Halftime stats.

Boks 311 to 134 metres for Oz

we have won 6 of 8 lineouts

7 to 3 in clean breaks

13 to 6 in defenders beaten.

MPOWER ...try/goodluck

Man of the half Esterhozen 6 runs/63 metres and a clean break that led to a try.

Schalla defos taking Gregan out for a few dips tonight

Moz...

Lets save this post...

"Man of the half Esterhozen 6 runs/63 metres and a clean break that led to a try."

...update the numbers at the end of the game and make it a post title.

Just for Mike

I said the Boks would be better with a specialist 6 at the breakdown. Eskom is not my ideal player, but he is the best we have to marshall the breakdown. Kolisi is better as a number 8.

If the Boks get quick, clean ball at the ruck, they dominate the advantage line and cracks in the opposition defence open up.

Manie is most able to implement the Tony Brown attack.

Stuff the commentators missed:

Libbok 5 tackles/2 missed….Fassi looking uncertain when the ball’s behind him and one poor kick directly into touch.

I hope he doesn’t spoil the story line in the 2nd half Plum!

Bok lineout starting to crumble. 3 lineout lost, their is confusion over the jump.

Boks are starting to look shaky. A soft try conceded

Hier kom kak

Boys are falling asleep, easiest try ever

Where was Fassi on both australia tries?

ozzie right through the middle there

Ox is human after all

Lomp has been removed, perhaps getting the blame for the lineout losses

And now PSDT knocking on when the Boks looked like hitting right back.

Mostert and Kwagga coming one for Lood and Mandela

Dud Toit knocks on in a good position.

...and Mostert cleans up the lineouts

Mostert!

There you have a Libbok kick that could have been an Oz try

And because Dave wonders what value Mostert adds..

time is off and Boms have set up a lineout on the Oz 5m.

Mostert will take this and there will be a maul try...

Wilco drills Slipper

Dammit Mostert took it nicely but the mail try never came...

lol

Notice how the offloading stops when the game gets closer

Fassi off now for Willemse

Nice lineout steal from PSDT from an attacking OZ lineout.

That will relive the pressure
