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.
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 
Just caught the extended highlights, that was so much fun to watch. Well done Wallabies! Man I wish Schmidt was our coach
Serious question, has Joe Schmidt indicated he still wants to coach after the Wallabies?
Love to see him coach one of the Super sides.

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 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.
Brilliant innovation by the Master Innovator. So innovative I can't work out his long game 3D chess innovative innovationess.
And ... are we back at No.1?

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.
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

As an aside - I thought BOK was outstanding
Nope
What'd he get wrong?
@SammyC said in Boks v Wobblies I:
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.

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:
Ox Nche looking like the useless, unfit passenger he is.
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.
@antipodean hate calling those either way. One hand goes forward. One hand goes backwards.
@NTA said in Boks v Wobblies I:
Jorgensen just scored and I'm pretty sure I'll never ejaculate this hard again
Get ready for round two at 76 mins
I'm not going to say BOK has been perfect, but at least he's not putting up with the Boks' shit
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.

Ok I was wrong
Not sure why the Boks decided to play touch footy instead of just bashing us.
Next week is going to be wayyyyy different
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.

Yeah don't mind him personally. Gets excited in the commentary box during games, nothing wrong with that.

The emphasis they're going to take to the breakdown suggests it will be brutal and TMO interjections could be numerous.
@NTA said in Boks v Wobblies I:
Libbok is shit. In case anyone didn't know
Equally shit is Willemse
Aren't they part of the four teams they could pick that could beat anybody?
So much unbeatable depth.
I wasn’t able to watch yesterday but caught the score. Now 20 mins into the game and trying to come up with a movie reference or some kind of sports comparison to reflect on how it turns out.
Boks fans dancing in the stands right now.
Update: Mexican wave at 23:30.
Only watched the highlights but just saw a tweet, did the Boks really do the midfield lineout with 8 mins to go whilst 11 points behind?!

Once they got early success maybe they just fell in love with high tempo rugby, and couldn't revert back to plan A when it started going sideways?
