Springboks vs Australia Rugby Championship 2025 Round 2

Kwagga over after a good little break by Kriel an charge by Ox. 20-7

Not to Fassi kicks straight into touch, plodder

Dammit Fassi!!!

He kicks directly into touch. Why doesn't he just run it up!?

Kwagga off his feet to give the Ozzies a kickable one, which they accept this time.

O'Connor slots it right on the half

10-20 to the Boks

20-10 halftime. I'm struggling to get invested in this game. Maybe there was so much drama last week that this one feels a little dull and paint by numbers.

Everybody seems happy to be 12 points ahead at half time. Talking about Bok DNA

Last week it was 22-5 at the half...today it's 20-10.

We lead by 17 points last week...10 points today

The scary second half coming……

Dud Allende 4 runs for 6 metres….6 tackles made 2 missed.

The scary second half coming……

I don't know...Aussies look pretty blunt out there.

The Boks have to be the first to score in this half.

Else the Ozzies will dare to dream

Dud Allende 4 runs for 6 metres….6 tackles made 2 missed.

Planetrugby: 8/10, punched holes in the defense with his hulking carries.

Delande dummies himself and screws up a good attacking movement

Fassi sure likes his boot.

Ox does brilliantly to steal the ball from that mail and then DDA's brain cells malfunction and he gives away a penalty.

I actually can't stand this guy

And DDA runs straight into Marco. Holy fuck is he assertive. Eh, Dave? The awareness of a brick.

That stupid mistake cos the Boks 60m of territory

Dud destroys another overlap

Moody bungles the cover defence, and Wallabies score. Once again the invisible man Fassi was out of position

Snyman a dud today….all his offloading skills not allowed

A repeat of last week with Oz scoring a try early in the half.

A 3 point difference now.

20-17

Jorgenson through as Oz exploits the space behind the Boks.

And I Fassi gets stripped. Luckily they kicked it long and Kolbe collected.

I have to tell you DDA fans...you have GOT TO be taking the piss with your fangirling of this dude. Come on, man.

Can I just ask...is there anybody watching this game that thinks DDA should be here ahead of AE?

Kwagga doing some prime grade cleaning out at the breakdowns.

Lol Pakie...I think we were typing the above posts at exactly the same time.

...and then DDA actually makes a couple of meters in traffic.

The universe hates us

Eben knocks.

His usual supported burrowing.

And now Moodie fumbles.

This is looking very similar to last week.

Moodie knocks, checking out the defense and not the ball.

Dumblande look like a cart horse

And I Pollard gifts the Ozzies some relief with a soft kick for a mark

Ikitau with a man open outside inexplicably decides to kick it straight into the nearest defender.

Dumblande drops a perfect pass; his performance is becoming comical at this stage

SFM on at wing.

I hate that.

Pollard boots attacking possession away. Dour stuff from both sides.

And now DDA fumbles an easy catch but is saved by and offside call

Bad Moddie was removed, a liability on defence. Replaced with Sasha

DDA drops it cold.

Interesting to see the Boks going for posts in this game. We used to boot these to touch 5 all day long in recent times. 23-17
