What a start to the Rugby Championship this game is!

KiwiMurph

What a passage of play

Another one! Wallabies for the rugby championship and Bledisloe!

Victor Meldrew

The Oz commentary team on Stan are going bonkers.... Forgivable.

Canes4life

Fantastic. Not sure why the Wallabies even bothered playing such a second tier side.

ACT Crusader

Boks players running in gumboats out there.

MiketheSnow

Craziest Test I’ve ever seen

That meme with the guy and two girls is going to get some action

Brilliant from the Wallabies

Does this mean we go to no 1?

KiwiMurph

Willemse and Libbok have been garbage

Joe Schmidt seems to be living on pre Farrell Ireland reputation.. hasn’t added much to any team he’s been involved with since then, and Ireland have been better under Farrell. A bit like Plumtree. Posers

Say it again

W32

Well deserved. Boks have been terrible since minute 20

Victor Meldrew

Said it once, say it again. We need to get Joe Schmidt back in New Zealand with a key role.

JayCee

6 unanswered tries against world #1 side in their bacjyard. Well done Wallabies. Fun team to watch.

ACT Crusader

It’s a famous victory.

Best moment for Australian Rugby since the 1999 World Cup Final.

They are should enjoy it.

Boks are beatable. Main strike weapon will be maul.

Imminently beatable. Main strike weapons are the maul and the scrum and Arendse (5 tries in 2 tests against Oz), bugger

Imminently beatable. Amongst their arsenal are such diverse weapons as:
the maul and scrum
Arendse (5 from 2) and
Fassi and Moodie (each 1 from 1)

Also shouldn’t forget the hot hand of Edwill van der Merwe (5 tries in 3 tests for the Boks) aaargh …

I’ll come in again [exit and immediate reentry]

Imminently beatable. Their ever-expanding arsenal is easily underestimated but contains such diverse weapons as:
the maul and scrum
The tryscoring threats of Arendse (5 from 2), Fassi and Moodie (each 1 from 1)
Along with the hot hand of Edwill van der Merwe (5 tries in 3 tests for the Boks)
To say nothing of two-time and current world player of the year PSDT

Bugger.

They are beatable if you can nullify their many and diverse threats.

Crikey.

Schadenfreude = watching Rassie and Tony Brown in the coaches box with faces like thunder.

ACT Crusader

Wallabies should’ve swung it to the left. It was on.

MiketheSnow

Stand corrected

Well done Oz

All sorts of superlatives

Will come back with thoughts

ACT Crusader

On ya ‘straya

KiwiMurph

As an aside - I thought BOK was outstanding

Tim

How good is Schmidt! Get a little bit of depth in the Wallabies.

Tordah

Wow, only watched a few minutes from the first half and then turned the game on at 76 mins and was flabbergasted

Victor Meldrew

Boks has their collective arses handed to them in the 2nd half.

Really hope Wobblies kick on. - great for rugby.

Sitting in a pub in Dubrovnik surrounded by South Africans, they’re reactions have been brilliant

Canes4life

My daughter woke me up at 3.30am and I’m glad she did. What a performance.

To our South African fans (the balanced ones), that is a tough loss. But even good teams have off days.

McCaw’s ABs got nuked by England in 2012. It reset them. Boks and their supporters needed that I feel. They will bounce back.
