2012 Rugby Championship Round 6 Game 1 South Africa vs New Zealand- 6 Oct

[badabing59]

9 penalties conceded by ABs - plus at least 1 free kick. No penalties no free kicks conceded by SA.

Rolland must have got good odds on a SA double at home

I think the AB;s cheque bounced

 

[Dam0]

Who needs penalties?

Actually I thought that one against McCaw was a bit of a roughie, he was the tackler and he got up to look to play the ball. Pretty sure no ruck had formed.

Fairly simple stuff there from the Darkness to stroll in for a try.

Our mob used to do that stuff as bread and butter in "the day".

Why can't we do it now? It is not rocket surgery.

Wahey!!! Rolland can lift his arm our way...

 

[ChargerWA]

Tackle release?????

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Think he may heve been checking if the deoderant needed a re-apply.

Been 20 minutes since 1/2 time. Better check. ...snifffff.....Yep thats Ok for now,

Maybe we'll see some of that from Ben Tapuai in the next game.

Loved that tackle from Hosea Gear!

 

[crangs81]

That was some good play there by the boks. Shame about the finish

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Hyena is not having a good game after the early try,

 

[Dam0]

This is one of the most bizzare games I can remember. We are getting smashed up, and yet we are winning 4 tries to 1.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Excellent counter ruck AB's. SA still in this.

 

[Antony]

Appreciating the updates guys, I'm stuck about a hundred kilometers from the nearest Rugby-bearing TV.

 

[ChargerWA]

The AB's just score so easily. IN attack, SA and Aus currently look like they are running in treacle.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

DC droppie successful!

29-16 AB's over SA with 64min down.

 

[ChargerWA]

Drop goal Dan Carter. 29 NZ - 16 SA

 

[badabing59]

We can drop kick now?

 

[ChargerWA]

Messam has made metres well tonight. I ususally think of him as the poor mans Keino, but he is looking good.

 

[ChargerWA]

We can drop kick now?

When in Rome......

I don't think you are getting smashed. The gulf in class between these two sides is immense. Sure it has been levalised by some extraordinary decisions but when the ball is actually in play there is only one team in it.

Didn't think there was any non-TV out there on the thread.

65 minutes gone. Darkness 29, Saffer 16. Benches starting to get emptied. Lambie on for Kirchner, Thompson on for Messam.
