It seemed like the Argies had huge kicks with massive hang time. They'd target a drop zone where the Wallaby catcher was standing so that there was no opportunity to take a running leap at the ball. Then the Argie winger would launch at the landing zone and simply try and touch the ball...

I'm unsold on Toole. His aerial game was rubbish in the last game. I think he will get exploited again if he's out there.

Assuming no Valetini and no Skelton then I hope we go for; 1) AAA 2) Pollard 3) TT 4) LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 5) Frost 6) Hooper 7) McRight 8 ) Wilson 16) BPA 17) Bell 18) Nonngor 19) Williams 20) Samu

AB's gameplan was wide - wide. The backline was soo deep at times just to get around the rush defense. This is not their normal gameplan. The try they scored was amazing but that was the end of it. Set piece fell apart. Wide Wide wasn't getting points. Strange scenario for all teams at...

The reffing seemed pretty even.

The Stan kiwi commentators have been very fair. Marshall Mils Wilson Reid all complementary of the boks.

Just finished watching this. Boks had no reserves left and finished stronger. I’ve never seen the ABs effort drop off at the end of a game like that. The scrum and lineout dominance plus winning the majority of the contest able kicks was the key factor in the win I thought.

TT is having a good start.

I would think that the Boks will tighten up their defense in the outside channels. ie Cut out passes from JOC (James O'Connor) to Jorgo will get intercepted. We will have to go through them more than we did in the first test. Might need a rolling maul try or two. And if we can catch their contestable kicks...

Overreaction is different to over coached. Over coached is what Eddie Jones does to a team. Makes them afraid of playing and making mistakes. I think you are right in saying the gameplan will revert to type. This is where the game gets interesting, when there are successive matches against a...

Can you imagine the stuff Rassie will be saying to his players. Will the Boks be overcoached for this next outing ? There is a line of thought that they will revert to their kick chase game and have the forwards play like absolute maniacs. I think the coaching battle here will be fascinating...

3. Hooper 2. Wilson 1. Frost

Is Skelton available?

When is the team announced ?

If RA had scheduled more than 1 warmup game vs Fiji we might have had some more cohesion in Brisbane. If the ref had blown the 79th minute penalty in Melbourne. Definitely feels like a lost opportunity. Plus Joe Schmidt is in the departure lounge. Hooper, Gleeson, Lolosio, TT all heading off...
