Well. Fuck me. I've just seen the score and had to check it wasn't the wrong way around.

That'll be interesting viewing

Great highlights.

Can we have Schmidt back please.

Sean Maloney sounding like he's ejaculating.

Big Seanny is an absolute top bloke and an absolute Rugby nuffy.

He's played various levels in Sydney and knows the landscape here very well - the good, bad, and ugly.

He's a champion for the game here and his love of the game is unparalleled.

I can't remember a worse five-eighth performance. Libbok was dreadful.

Apparently that's the first Wallaby victory at Ellis Park since 1963?

And their first win in the republic since 2011. When they won 14-9 at Durban. A game where they had another kiwi coach and JOC started on the wing.

NTA

How bad is my Wallabies Fan PTSD?

All I can think now is how the Boks will cut their error rate and absolutely ream us next week 😞

sparky

@NTA That may be true, but you'll always have Ellis Park 2025.

No Quarter

Just caught the extended highlights, that was so much fun to watch. Well done Wallabies! Man I wish Schmidt was our coach

@NTA you slayed the emperor…at home. Boks dropped to no 3 in the world rankings because of the Wallabies 😬

Wallabies are favourites for the Bledisloe now, you know that right? No excuses this year 😉

Frank

Serious question, has Joe Schmidt indicated he still wants to coach after the Wallabies?
Love to see him coach one of the Super sides.

I can’t recall the exact year he started doing the commentary but I don’t think in his time he’s seen a win in the SA.

All the emotion that we saw in the super season when there was the collective weez woz robbed and then in the lead up to the Lions and the constant writing off to only just narrowly lose the series to last night.

Don’t mind the call from the big man.

@Frank I'd happily have him as the Hurricanes coach.

Brilliant innovation by the Master Innovator. So innovative I can't work out his long game 3D chess innovative innovationess.

Fucked up the Eden Park showdown.

Holy shit, what a result. Aussies came to play.

Dude - just enjoy one of the all time great test match comebacks and one of the best Wallaby performances ever. Next week cannot change that.

Dodge

Thank fuck for that. They’re a team these Aussie bastards. Go you good things.

Nepia

Gutted I only watched the highlights of this, but couldn't risk the score being mentioned in the ABs match (and it was).

Well done Wobblies.

What a win. Second best in the last 15 years or so (number one is knocking England out of their own WC in 2015).

So happy for JOC, what a story. And Jorgo and Wright really putting forward world class performances when they get space to work with.

As for the Boks, they started chasing the fools gold out wide when they were beating us up on tight. Real failing from 9/10. We just herded them wide, and picked them off. Or they dropped it.

The last five minutes of camerawork, titled ‘let’s show as many desolate Boks fans as possible’ should win awards.

I hope you have that recorded to rewatch mate, it's been a long time between drinks

Too many steroids

The boks aerobic fitness was awful, the faster pace of super rugby this year might have helped the aussies

Replacement THP looked a candidate for the dietician.

@W32 said in Boks v Wobblies I:

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

🙄😆

Campese wiping egg off his face this morning as well. Cripes, how many times has that schmuck opened his mouth and it's been the opposite.

Sounds like he has a strong jinx game 😆

Watching back now.

2 things I'm loving about Wilson's try at the start of the second half:

  1. Ox Nche looking like the useless, unfit passenger he is.

  2. The crowd having a sook about the pass

I thought it was slightly forward and expected the hometown director to bring it to the attention of the TMO.

I also thought it made literally no difference to the outcome and was pleasantly surprised the try stood.

NTA

@antipodean hate calling those either way. One hand goes forward. One hand goes backwards.

NTA

Libbok is shit. In case anyone didn't know

Equally shit is Willemse

Jorgensen just scored and I'm pretty sure I'll never ejaculate this hard again

Get ready for round two at 76 mins

NTA

I'm not going to say BOK has been perfect, but at least he's not putting up with the Boks' shit

Billy Webb

Well done Wallabies. A thoroughly deserved and convincing victory.
You held your own in the scrums, dominated the Boks in the lineouts and never allowed the Bok maul to get going. Great work at the breakdown and then really good work to open up the Bok defence for some great tries.

The Boks managed to look good for 20 minutes and then seemed to completely lose all rugby IQ.
Hugely frustrating as a Bok fan but there are always 2 teams on the park, and this time the guys in gold were simply better - by a lot.
There will be some hard introspection in that Bok camp, that's for sure.

NTA

Not sure why the Boks decided to play touch footy instead of just bashing us.

Next week is going to be wayyyyy different

Tordah

Great thing for the Wobs is even if they are demolished next week, the tour will always be considered a strong success and this particular game will be remembed for pleny of years to come.
