Wallabies 2
Wallabies have been there own worst enemy this game. So many small moments and unforced errors.

I don’t understand that. He did win it than lost it when Valentine cleaned him out?
The replay clearly shows the player on the ground holding on

Yeah the replay was in slow mo and they'll often let those ones go
@KiwiMurph said in Boks vs Wallabies 2:
Haven't been terribly impressed by Fassi today
Does a hitch kick before taking contact every time.
Breaks his own momentum.
Saffa commentators love a whinge.
Butter wouldnt melt eh.
The dirtiest fluffybunnies in the game.

Boks fans delirious about getting lucky. The disallowed try is the difference.
Possibly an incorrect call too.
Expected the Boks to give Oz a real mullering after last week but really impressed with the Oz performance.
Either the Boks are weak or the Bledisloe will be in serious danger this year.
@Victor-Meldrew Or a bit of both?

Without sounding like a sour grape-ist, the Boks have been living a charmed life for ages.
Robbed England in semi final. Robbed us in the final.
They have been getting the rub of the green with calls for years.
Chickens. Roost. Etc

It was the correct call. Just went back and had another look. It went forward separately off of both Kellaway's hands

More than likely and hard to tell until we play either of them. But Oz have been really impressive since Lions 2, so I'm going with option 2.
Either way it's good to see Oz on the up and a tight Bledisloe would be a great watch.

Bledisloe is going to be epic.
With a win in SA, and playing Argentina at home (very realistic 2 wins - this will be the real indicator, if they can put the Argies away).
The Wallabies could walk away with both Rugby Championship and the Bledisloe.
@His-Bobness said in Boks vs Wallabies 2:
Dare I say it but Jorgensen is Cullenesque - such balance
Its the haircut
@Victor-Meldrew Yes, they’re playing with real self-belief despite an horrific run with injuries. There’s a never-say-die element to their play and they have some real game-breakers in the likes of Valetini, Ikitau and Jorgensen

These 2 games feel like a watershed moment for this Bok side and i think this will convince Rassie to accelerate some changing of the guard.
He may give those players who have won RWCs a chance to win at Eden Park (most havent actually played there strangely enough!) but I think after that he is focussed on building a side for RWC27.

A really tight RC would be great. Seems to happen far more in the 6N's and has made that tournament a bit more epic,

Impressed with the way they handle pressure too. There's a real togetherness with this crop of players.
Boks underwhelming but they know how to see themselves home in the last fifteen minutes of a tight one.
Another highly impressive Wallabies performance. Take a bow, Joe Schmidt.

No it wouldn't. The All Blacks beating everyone by 50+ points would be great.

Not to mean thin French quarter which BOK completely screwed up.

My slow mo isn’t good enough to isolate that. TV pictures inconclusive.
@pakman said in Boks vs Wallabies 2:
By Bled the Wobbly squad will be weakened by quite a few required to play NH club rugby.
Big challenge this TRC, could be making of this AB side if they can win it and retain the Bledisloe.
@sparky said in Boks vs Wallabies 2:
@pakman Can't the ARU demand their release.
I think it’s outside the window. Can potentially pay a release fee.

Ah yes. the 2016-2019 glory days...
