Rugby Championship 2025: South Africa v Australia

What would've happened if we could actually catch a kick off too. Could've put 50 on 'em.

I'm 30 years old and I swear for at least the last 15 years of my life the Wallabies have been completely and utterly unable to catch a kick off and successfully fucking exit their own 22 after scoring points.

If we can draft in the required nuclear physicists and brain surgeons and master criminals required to pull off such a feat, then the sky is the limit.

Pollard coming back in will be huge for the Boks. They really overplayed as the game went on and the Wallabies took full advantage. Expecting a much tighter affair in Cape Town

Yep was listening to a Saffa podcast with Brendan Nel and a couple of others, and they couldn't believe how their halves got sucked into the let's run everything once they got big lead. One of senior players was saying he kicking himself for not calming them down. Says he needed to remind them they were at Ellis Park. They were really impressed with Wallabies etc, and taking nothing from them, but said they would be very surprised if same pairing there this week.

Yeah, but it's easy to get drawn into playing that way when you are having so much success doing it. They got rope a doped

There is certainly the makings of a real world class back row
6. Valetini
7. Mcreight
8. Wilson - has his best game to date on the weekend to cement his spot

if a 6 -2 split comes back eventually would love to see
19. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)
20. Hooper
21. Gleeson

this weekend is a 5-3 still I’d prefer hooper there over Williams on the bench if Valetini and Wilson are both there

there is some depth now with Tizzano etc

it’s a blow with hooper and Gleeson going but they are still in contention going forward

Probably already been said, but I think if not for that try Suali’i’s link with the Bees would be over for next little bit. Only reason he wouldn’t go or hasn’t already is Rugby Aus dignity…
