I'm sure the youtube video of how BOK gifted the Wallabies the win will be out tomorrow night.

By Squidge Rugby no less.

By Squidge Rugby no less.

A collab between Rassie and Squidge would be all time.

Jeepers I tried to be gracious, but people on here are being absolute shitheads. As if Australia have won 10 matches in a row here

This has to be one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Well done Wallabies.

Must be right up there. When the Wallabies were good, they couldn’t win at Ellis Park. After 20 minutes, a 22-point loss would have seemed acceptable compared to the Boks potentially putting 50 on you. Credit to Australia for surviving to halftime without further damage—that was crucial. Their fitness showed; they still had legs, while the Boks did not. Incredible win.

Mate I don't think this is true at all. It's just a very rare moment in Australian rugby that's worth getting excited about.

Apologies if my excitement for my team was too much. I shall endeavor to only highlight where the Boks went wrong and not acknowledge the good play of my own team.

Genuinely not sure which posts you are referring to with the shitheads remark tbh.

 

[ashley bach]

The Springboks will be a completely different kettle of fish next week. Will be very interesting indeed to see how the Wallabies handle the backlash.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats Wallabies. What a performance (especially at Ellis!). Just don't think about winning back the Bledisloe.

TRC is well set up now with Oz getting a bonus point and zero points for SA.

What are you on about. Is everything okay?

wtf?

Like winning at Eden Park

Given our lack of depth, having some healthy first choice players helps but just how out of his depth Lynagh was is now obvious

Team looks totally different with some inside backs who are actually international class

 

[Ali TT]

Reading this back hours after the event amusing. I pray for @ripper868 keyboard.

So the current pecking order in world rugby is

England missing Lions players
Argentina
The Lions
Australia
South Africa

Lol, at "we would have won if the rules if the game were different".

2019 cricket world cup anyone?

 

[ripper868]

Given the way other results have gone this TRC, ominous start for the AB's.

 

[ripper868]

Dumb play by the Argie #1, really don't need that after putting a try up on the board as well.

Excellent read by Matera that that was going out the back to Ioane. Huge 10 minutes without a prop though.

 

[ripper868]

That try on half-time may kill it off, AB's looked a bit off-beat for 10 minutes or so after the Argentina try. Could argue a couple of 50/50 ruck calls went their way, but overall deserve the lead. Long way back for the Pumas.

 

[the big bambino]

Happy for ripper. Been stoic. Thoroughly deserved.

 

[ripper868]

This has been an absolute ripsnorter of a match. Incredible momentum swing to the Pumas.

My word this is all bubbling well for an incredible RWC in 2 years.

 

[ripper868]

That should seal it then really, I wasn't sure about the choice to spurn the 3 points, but result justifies it I guess.

Thought Christie might of got away with one with a shoulder to head at the ruck, but would need a replay.

Edit: just saw the replay, was head on head, but looked pretty incidental. Red card at 2019 RWC though

 

[Tom Flint]

Nz defending superbly in the last 15 minutes or so. Argies too quick to use the ball at the breakdown, all getting in eachothers way.
