But it excludes the time wasted before the penalty was awarded that isn't shown in that clip. It was like 1 full minute that was wasted.

Yeah will have to watch the end again this clip makes it look really tought on the Aussies, maybe Rassie can make a video for us.

Will be interesting to see what Nigel Owens says on his channel! As much as it was a strange call by the ref, the Auzzies were clearly taking the p*ss in that huddle - rather kick the bloody ball out and meander to the lineout if you want to waste time...

bokke would have "managed" that much better... but a suspect call nonetheless

yup. he should have been cited after the 1st SA game

Players will continue as long as they can get away with it. Ask ownen farrel.

Jinne dude, you've spoiled my coffee, my upcoming supper, my exercise and my sleep by mentioning that guy! :)How the hell nobody has flattened him is anyone's guess.

But this Aussie winger is heading that way. I saw the sick tackle he put in on Vermeulen 2 weeks ago leading with his head and hitting him in the cheek bone.

What surprises the hell out of me is that it's all captured on camera and yet there's no citing. WTF happened to these citing commisions? They used to nail the rugby players for foul play. Now you get away with it on camera!
 
A 30 point win (as far fetched and unlikely as that is) will put us on top of the standings by the end of the weekend. Then we need to hope that Australia can keep NZ in check next week at the return venue (Eden Park) while we put a second successive victory over Argentina in Durban.
 
So i missed the last 10mins - have just rewatched those 10mins. Im not sure what was controversial there - Ref told them to use it 3 times and they didn't... isnt that the rule? There is even another Aussie player shouting at the guy with the ball to kick it just before the ref blows for the scrum

Fear, he lost confidence
 
I am, or should I say was, really looking forward to watching SA vs Argies tomorrow which starts at 9.10pm, but if CoCT implement stage 4 at 10pm to 5am which they've been doing recently overnight then looks like I'll be missing the second half ( sold my inverter setup recently as 2 hours stints without power is bearable during LS and not being able to stream stuff constantly doesn't bother me except for crucial rugby internationals like this!!).
Don't really want to watch a prerecorded game later , it's just not the same :thumbsdown:


Was wondering if CoCT will give us better stage protection over the weekend... guess I'll have to wait for their Twitter announcement later today or tomorrow!

Loadshedding in my area in PLZ at 10PM tomorrow night. Means I will have to have my laptop charged up!

Good for you, I assume you have fibre or F/LTE as well as backup power for your router and a tower nearby that has 4G signal during LS.

My local tower goes down after 15 mins during LS anyway, so makes no difference , hence one of the reasons I sold my inverter solution.

PLZ? Port Elizabeth?

That is correct on both.
Luckily we seem to stay up. I do have a battery backup for my fibre ONT and router. Sucks being able to watch it in the dark though.

Thanks Eskom.
