U Beaut, mate!

 

[kiepie]

Yes now we have a small chance.

But now I see two hard matches ahead!

we're going to get hammered if australia plays that well against our 2nd string team

Dont worry kobie I reckon we got it covered.

The whingers played very well. I think they even have a legitimate beef against the ref Jonker for those advantage calls.
Normally the ref plays situational advantage but even supporting the All Blacks I cringed a bit at some of his calls.
That said though the Aussies really did their level best not to scrum. Second game in a row now where the side with the weakest scrum by far flaunts the engage rules to nullify the opposition strength. The only scrums that didnt go down (and there were not many) the All Blacks made them look like schoolboys. Dunno how they are going to sort that mess out this season though.
All Blacks threw away 2 clear tries at what can only be considered the last pass. They did not play at their best and where also certainly feeling the long travel and the previous weeks game.
Hats off to the Aussies for the win though. The second half they did run with a lot more intensity.

Our fresh little B team will pomp them though.

Seems Jake has also raised the scruming issue now and good on him for doing it.

White seeks fair scrum contest

We have an awesome tight 5. Visagie, Botha, CJ, Muller and Ackermann. If they gel together we have a great chance and pulling a nice upset, but if like the Sharks our forwards let us down we are done for

Yea and the Machine, Heinke Van Der Merwe, is covering for Kobus Visagie... Only prob is that the Lions need him against the Bulls, cost!

Hey, if the B Team wins, then we are gonna have a pretty good squad for the World Cup!

I'm glad the Aussies are playing well. Makes the World cup more exciting to have quite a few teams that could win.

Visagie out injured, DuPlessis in.
