Ardie ain’t just a show pony. Fucccck off

Rocks and diamonds

Explain?

He’ll do soemthing amazing but his general work around the field, particularly the ruck, is very average.

Well fucking played fellas.

Jesus that was a hard watch.

We were the better team to be fair.

Physios will be busy on both sides this week.

Relieved is the word of the day.

For a sizeable proportion of that game I felt that SA's error rate kept us in that game. Especially when we stopped playing rugby.

The sooner we get a competent halfback to start for us, the better.

Injuries? Taylor and Jordie HIA? Narawa ribs?

Razor looks happy. Perhaps it's relief. We almost screwed that up

How the fuck is that not a YC?

Because it was bullshit?

At least the TMO invented a high tackle to save face.

Comedy.

Shoulder to the head

YC and off field review

Mitigation as attacker was falling in the tackle

Stays YC

Been ruled that way for years

Not tonight

Brilliant attacking rugby in the afternoon sun in Townsville in front of gorgeous Argentinians or watching the world’s supposedly two top teams box kicking in the rain. Not hard for a marketing man to decide which game is the better sell.

Just as the Argies did in game 1

No way. There wasn't even foul play there.

Comedy gold

We'll take the win. Not a great win, but a win's a win.

Still a shit load of work for the ABs to do.

The intensity of that game was off the charts

Absolute cracker in the wet!! Forwards are fantastic at the moment.

Hasn't been that way for ages. If it's a YC with mitigation, it gets downgraded to penalty.

In exactly the same way if it's a RC with mitigation it's a YC.

Sorry you lost money on the game.

Realistically that's as good as can be expected.

They defended the Garden

Well done!

Man that was stressful

South Africa played the better rugby. We were just lucky we got a few good tries early and could hold on.

Consistently miserable at the non-officiating

Unlike the officials
