That must be one of the biggest upset in rugby history.
My God we were poor.
Libbok started like a machine but ended like a broken diesel engine.
psdt spends too much time on the wing. I know it’s under instruction but it doesn’t work when he’s there all game.
our line outs were woeful. Marx was woeful. Did fokkol all game.
Kriel… where was he?
I call it celebrity entitlement.
we should have respected the opposition and closed the game off after half time.
When I saw local bookies offering $6.50 for an Oz win I was tempted but I've never gambled on the Boks to lose.
Bravo Aussies.
All i will say is fkn long time coming... wallabies building again and lol never saw that happening after first 20mins. What a win. Schmidt proving hes excellent coach. Few injuries tho think Harry did hammy or knee after second try.
Awesome to see the Aussies back, Redsman. And playing Aussie rugby, what you call it, the razzle dazzle?
Love the razzle dazzle... like seeing an old friend after 20yrs... fkn good. Lol yeah baby
Fair enough congrats OZ…..that Backline works well….I still don’t know actually how we could have imploded like that?? Especially after the first half….
I suspect Rassie will double down and go back to Stampkar deluxe
Yeah well take the W. Great for rugby in Oz tbf. Hoepfully start of resurgence. Oz outside backs had good warm up vs lions. Possible saffas took them a little too lightly. Kolisi going off didn't help by looks. Yes next week saffas be out to prove themselves.... anyway 322am here I gotta sleep....... hard after that game tho...
Harlem globe trotters, like Chippo said, we did not respect them or the game and start playing loose rugby.
Aus played off counter ruck and found huge gaps in defence.
That is what happens when you constantly rotate players. They don't learn how to play with each other or form defences.
Even Leinster only clicked the 2nd Season with Nienaber and they were bloody impossible in the URC final to break down
Wonder who'll come back and who will be dropped?
5.28AM for me but I feel too miserable to sleep.
Imagine paying so much to witness that nightmare ?
Despite not achieving a full house at Ellis Park for the Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and Wallabies, SA Rugby president Rian Oberholzer remains upbeat, confirming that ticket sales have reached the union’s target of 85%. While previous matches against Italy and Georgia saw sell-out crowds, the high-priced tickets for this game, ranging from R1,050 to R4,000, have posed affordability issues for many fans.
The fact is that the team turned ou to be deficent and we can start wth the ab ckline. In the first half the passed he ball regularly and manhed to score tries. Then came along te second half and Libbok fucked up rotally - while Estehuizen vanished from he scene and defence disintegrated.
As to Libbok I think he had a good first hlf and so did Esterhuizen who made two line breaks as well. The ebst he ever played for the Springboks. he made some tackles as well - so pass mark in the frst half.
Then came alonmg the second half and all the Sringboks suffered from try line fever - and the forwards gave away penalties galore, Thn we got defense that vanished totally in the seond half and Libbok fucked up royally. I cannt remember when Esterhuizen was replaced - but I did not see a sign of him doing anything in the second half, .
You need a team where co-rdinatnation of activities is of prime imortanc and there were none in evidence,
.
The Libbok intercept pass broke the dam wall. One way traffic from then on.
Pakie
He also made some useless danferoius and idiotic kicks which was also dangerous.
I welt te team was the wrong one picked by especially the abcklone and tat is where things really went wrong.
When as Esterhuizen replaced? I missed it - he must have been replaced because if noyt he emt AWOL and did nptjng in th second half.he enver was seen doing anything after halftime.
Esterhozen 9 tackles made/1 missed…..2 offloads and one clean break in the second half. By far our best back on the day.
Rassie cheapens the bok jersey with his job stop experimentation
Esterhuizen did well in the frst half and went AWOL in the seond half vanished from sight totally in the second half so I asked when he was replaced, I follow him in matches to see what he did and give im credit for two heavy tacles and a line break - but after he scored that try and he made the break he vanished from sigh and for ther est of te time he ws on the field he did nothing at all,

Harder to win without a ref rigging the game...
True Trad.
it always is.
luckily we don’t rely on the ref as much as other nations.
hahahahahaha crash and burn ya punks!
and fuck you redneck you show your white arse when you numbnuts win otherwise we don’t see your ugly mug. Schmidt is pissing off after this year and you one hit wonders ‘can’t get outa the pools’’ will eat shit when you play our boys. Another year of pain arsehole
Mike, don't talk to us about AE.
Tell us about King Rassie...
AE is one of the only Backline players that stood up yesterday and did his job. So no finger can be pointed at him.
In my opinion this so called Bok system of Dr.Lucky is not doing the job properly. What does it help your back up players almost never gets Game Time?
You still have players in the squad that gets zero game time…for example Jean luc Du preez. What is the use of picking them in the first place??
Why are there so many inform younger players not being picked for the Boks?? Is it a quota thing or is Erasmus just plain and Simple ignorant??
Why did the Boks just fold in the second half? Was it really a case that they just gassed themselves in the first half, at Highveld altitude?
If that is the case, how did the Australien team manage to perform over the 80 min and they not even from here?
More unanswered questions than solutions.
And Blackboy the worst thing you can do is to underestimate the Australiens. It might just bite you in the ass.
