And Lambie gets shafted again. Really poor treatment of a guy who deserves better.

Pollard really hasn't impressed me. He is far too mentally fragile. His game against the Wallabies was the worst display by a 10 for as long as I can remember. All we need is for him to come apart like that in a vital world cup knockout match.

I don't think that's quite fair. He's a 10 that's actually able to get us on the front foot and get us over the advantage line. He had a very good running game against the ABs.

Lambie also has that ability, though. Agreed he's been shafted.

HM picks his favorites as usual. Pollard has not proven himself at CC and SR level. You canno advance a player without experience at the highest level. It's a moronic decision as far as i am concerned. It's also a disgrace that JdJ is not in the Springbok setup. For me, he and De Allende is our best centre partnership in the country. We will see if we can beat the Argies this weekend.

Can't agree there. Kriel is way ahead of De Jongh.

I think Pollard has the potential to be a great flyhalf. Just depends how he's coached.

Just not interested in our rugby and cricket anymore....everything's corrupted

Kriel is a fullback and not a specialist centre. He is also played out of position as usual by HM. No SR experience at the highest level. JdJ has been our most consistent centre in many years. And don't tell me he is too small. Kriel looks thinner and light on the eye to me . Don't want to argue about facts bra.

No SR experience for Kriel? He was one of the most impressive fullbacks of this season.
Pollard has been hampered by poor scrumhalfs. He's a fine player, but have played most of his international rugby next to either Ruan Pienaar or Francois Hougaard. Both take two steps before passing the ball. It leaves the flyhalf with very little time.

Clearly.

Took the Wallabies 20 minutes to get into the game. Tied 3-3

 

[Fulcrum29]

Clearly.

Agree.

Glorious game.

 

[Arthur]

Great win, Oz. This game reminds me again why I'm a rugby fan.

 

[orin76]

Congrats to the boys in gold. That was a great game by both sides.

 

[Vrotappel]

Great stuff Aussies!

Good to put a stop to the All Blacks winning momentum. The All Blacks will destroy them in New Zealand.
