Wow, only 60 minutes, but still - what a performance by the Argies!

 

[Quaggas]

Bit like the game against Sparta. Still, creditable stuff for the first 60, in NZ.

Bit like the game against Sparta.

Seasonal Rugby hits the mainstream.

 

[Hurricane]

Argies will be a threat to us at home if they get the rub of the green.

 

[Quaggas]

HT looks good in Perth. Do I put on my Bok shirt, or will this cause unnecessary jinxes in the space time fabric?

 

[BackFootPunch]

How are the Boks playing Quaggas?

 

[Quaggas]

Look alright. I think the Australians are just a little out of touch. Not that much in it imo. NZ's another step up.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Well we should be a step up but we're just so unclinical at the moment. It's really frustrating. And we got away with it against Australia and then again with the Argies tonight. If SA can come up with a decent game plan they'll be a real threat.

Having said that, next week's Test is in Dunedin so there'll be no rain, little wind and (hopefully) some decent rugby.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Will be in Dunedin for next week's game. The main reason I decided not to go tonight is that I know I'll be seeing the ABs next week anyway.

 

[Quaggas]

I'm gonna burn this shirt now.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Have you been to the stadium before Heef? I imagine the atmosphere next week will be pretty special.

 

[Quaggas]

Seems to be working

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Have you been to the stadium before Heef?

Nope - never. Only South Island ground I've been to is Lancaster Park. In fact, I don't think I've ever been to a covered sports stadium like the new one in Dunedin. Should hopefully be a cracker too!

 

[Quaggas]

Quick, put it out ffs

 

[Quaggas]

Every breath we drew was Hallelujah

 

[Quaggas]

Well done, Oz.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Hard luck mate.

Boy the Aussies are lucky Sharpe stuck round. Lost Horwill, Pocock and now Genia. That's a heck of a lot of leadership to be gone from any team, especially one as lacking in direction as this one.

 

[TT Boy]

Peter de Villiers doesn't look too bad compared to Heyneke Meyer. Playing rugby from the dark ages. Going to be one hell of a hiding next week. Aus are awful as well, so the Boks can still finish last if they are not careful.

 

[Johnners]

Genia

 

[ripper868]

Gutted Willi G is out - for Wallabies and for the Reds. A player that is pretty well irreplaceable in what he brings to the team.

Brett Sheehan on the bench...FFS!
