Wallabies defence has been admirable, but South Africa have been dreamy to watch.

Wallabies getting zero ball, South Africa not letting them have it, and have been physical beasts.

Kellaway bit mudded with that yellow, Reinach does all he can to put his head to deck and Kellaway hit by SA support as its going down, I can understand the yellow but don't entirely agree with that one.

Too easy that though for Arendse. I know he's good but that's terrible defence.

Nice half by the Boks

Boks are levels above Georgia

Who knew?

5m attacking lineout, do fancy ****, **** the throw up, concede 70m. BAU.

Lol South Africa, letting the wallabies score a try, how **** must SA be. Lol.

15 vs 13... Not even Aus can screw that up.

15 vs 12...

Felt like a scrappy game near the end from SA. But job done. Well done boys.

Though we did do our best to, and screwed up a second chance near the end.

All Blacks Argentina has been a fun first 20, ABs getting a standard ABs try, but Argentina definitely have come to play.

Some big turnovers won at big moments by both teams.

Just hope Argentina can keep it going and don't drop off a cliff like the Wallabies did v SA.

Edit: awesome try that for the Pumas.

Nice half by the Boks

Second half not so great, to many cards just like the game against Portugal.
Colby surely be on a small list of players to throw in the scrum and do a proper line-out throw (those quick line-out jobs dont count) at international level in a single game

 

[Heboric]

That second try by the Argies was awesome

 

[ripper868]

After the training run that was SA v Aus, this game has been fantastic.

Gardner doing a great job with it as well,even getting compliments from NZ commentary.

Thank God he told the TMO to shove off around any card for Blackadder.

Yep that was a real breath of fresh air, too many refs see any head contact and immediately say yellow card. Correctly non-called head contact in the lead up to the forward passs non try as well, telling the player nothing was in it and keep playing.

Fantastic match as a neutral.

 

[ripper868]

All Blacks lineout not quite as bad as the Wallabies, but that's a big whiff at a big moment.

Great game, congrats to the Pumas. Rugby Championship well and truly alive (with Aus to be relegated by 2030)

 

[Heboric]

Holy **** didnt expect this

Note to self: Watch The Breakdown next week

 

[ripper868]

Creevys post match interview is fantastic.

 

[Smudge]

Deserved to lose after those two disgraceful passes in a row that conceded 50m and directly led to the winning try.
