Rugby Championship 2025: South Africa v Australia

[Shiggins]

Mate you cant blame the ball carrier for the tacklers error. would love to see him sent but i reckon thats against the nature of the game - not sias fault

Yeh the laughing emojis don't work on here so missed the sarcasm

 

[LeCheese]

The bok wingers are unbelievable

Fixed that for you

 

[Shiggins]

Good call from Bok there. Also once a player is tackled you can't just drag them around.
Boks cleaning out in the side slot. I think Bok will clue onto it

 

[Shiggins]

Can white take the kicks to touch ? Jocs getting no distance even at altitude

Just as I say that JOC (James O'Connor) kicks it 70m plus dead. Fuck me

 

[lpd]

Shows that speedy wingers are a defensive bonus too, mopping up kicks etc - wouldn’t mind Toole playing next week

 

[Shiggins]

This half could have been anything. Wallabies missed a few try opertunities with bounce of the ball. Boks have looked much better though

Some very good try saving tackles from jorganson

 

[whitefalcon]

The boks are on another level.

They would have put 40 on the Lions

 

[Slim 293]

What happened to Lynagh?

Seriously?

 

[LeCheese]

Boks a whole different level, but the Wobs are doing themselves no favours with the number of unforced errors. Seems the grit and tenacity we finally got to see in Sydney was nothing if not fleeting.

 

[parkfootyenthusiast2]

Encouraged by the fight back tbh, but man the boks look unbelievably slick ball in hand. Jorg McReight and Ikitau stood up, Hooper been having a crack, not much from anyone else.

 

[lpd]

Get Tate on early and roll the dice I say

Springboks are World Champs. Playing with speed, precision, winning post contact metres and great kicking. As someone said their wingers are amazing. Wallabies just need to hang in there. Simply out classed. Let's see what we can do in the second half.

You're not wrong. Some of the post contact meters by these guys are emence.

 

[Brumby Runner]

The difference in the speed of the defensive lines is again very stark. Bokke making many metres before being challenged by our passive defence while we seem to be stopped short of the advantage line when in possession. Bokke also playing an expansive game going wide while we just truck it up one out with Lenny Ikitau or one of the forwards. Our game plan is very one dimensional and easy to counter by a side as good as the South Africans.

 

[LeCheese]

Fuck it, Bell to 10

 

[Shiggins]

Bell great ball and Wilson does what he does in super

Great angle from sa media. Made me believe it was forward but not the tmo

 

[North Liberty]

yes hand wilson in my multi ...drinks on me fellas

 

[Yoda]

Some luck there. Forward pass I thought but we will take it.

 

[LeCheese]

Wright having an absolute mare under the high ball

 

[LeCheese]

Tate may be the Reds' best winger
