Australia vs South Africa 8th September

[dru]

Line out throw has been better tonight

And the plan. And the lifters. And the jumpers. And the call.

 

[dru]

Last 5 minutes has really shown the issue with KB (Kurtley Beale) at 10. He's barely touched the ball while we're camped out in their 22.

He's not demanding it, or the focus of the attack. Genia running things

Genia is a 9.5. It can work with Beale at FH.

 

[dru]

Kktsoff is awesome in open play. [not so much in the scrum]

 

[dru]

Maddocks just seems a little light at this level. He needs a bit more gym work

Nup. He looks born to it.

It can - but then instead of a nice backline move we get 4 man cutout passes to a flat Rob Simmons.

 

[dru]

Our exits are not good enough.

 

[Istanbul]

Why has Genia painted his finger nails? Very concerning!

True

 

[tragic]

And again. Green LHP down. Four times now. No penalty.

 

[Up the Guts]

Slippery Pete has been pretty solid at 8

 

[dru]

Crumbs these turn over calls are odd. We've been on the wrong end of it in the first half. But we didnt deserve that one.

 

[Istanbul]

This is a much better team with Foley not in it!

 

[Slim 293]

This is a much better team with Foley not in it!

Is it?

 

[dru]

Etzebeth out Snyman in. Fuck me the Africans produce locks.

 

[dru]

Is it?

Yep.

 

[Up the Guts]

This is a much better team with Foley not in it!

We'll see now

 

[dru]

Yep.

And then the ice man is back. Good time for it.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Foley on for Maddox. Beale to wing?

 

[Up the Guts]

Foley on for Maddox. Beale to wing?

Fullback

 

[Istanbul]

Yep let's totally throw our back line out by moving 3 players so that we can accommodate the worst number 10 to wear a gold jumper...
