Boks vs Wallabies live thread . . .

Oh no, Boks nearly over but hacked away. Now into touch, precious seconds wasted.

Why kick with a 4 man advantage, aussies have 11 playerso on the pitch

Pity that kick went out. It's the match.

Boks turn it over . . . they need to score now . . . no, held up and now it's too late.

Yes, Ox is over, is there time for a restart?

Ox scores.

Yes, there will be a restart!

Come on Bokke!!!

Last throw of the dice.

Quan Horn obstructs and that's the last chance gone.

Wallabies win.

What was that about Horn not making a single error?

We still had a chance there.

Good game!

Well deserved Aussies ... bravo

AE fouls up.
Oh for the silky skills of Alkende
Oaks this wobbly side will not beat a full strength Bok side.
So what say all the Mamparas about AE. Are you still sure he is better than Allende.

Very impressed with how the Boks were passing the ball.

Unbelievable game! Boks depth not what it’s cracked up to be??

Well, that was an awful game, but well done Wallabies. Down to 11 men, brain implosions all day from the team, but they were dominant and gave boks taste of own medicine with the high ball.

It's official, Andre Esterhuizen should never wear a bok jersey again.

Fassi should fuck off and so to Van Staden. Porthen and Jam Hendrik are not teat ready.

About 7 players were diar.

Whereas the Walkabies were still dominating the collision after 60 minutes.

Game lost in the first 50 min

Totsiens Jantjies and Fartsi, voetsek Mostert, Van Staaden and Louw

Young Portem has all the attributes to make a great hooker
Our THIRD string props don't give us any advantage at scrum time but held their own.
AE Fassie and Horn didn't do too well.
Jantjes is behind Krappies and Williams and Papier and maybe even Faf.
Elrich Louw works hard and has a big engine but is not an exceptional athlete
Van Staden wasn't too bad but Hanekon and, Wiese are better.
Pollard was okay but nothing special. I would liked him to do more of the tactical kicking.
So all in all too many third stringers, never mind second stringers. Bit of rust and cohesion problems as well.
I am not too worried about the Wobblies.
Hope RG Snyman is fit for RWC.

AE remains a valuable hybrid. Has the makings of a very good 7

HasBeen and KC, to now go and blame AE, he is just a loosie or he should never play for the Boks again, is way past rugby ignorance.

Tassenberg, his arrogance, ego, and poor selection, is solely to blame for this loss!!! First off, the starting front row was not good enough to give us the necessary platform to work off.

Jan Hendrik Wessels is not a prop, FFS Erasmus!! He is a good hooker but definitely not strong enough to play LH. As much as I admire Mostert, he is done. Van Staden should never be picked again, he is useless. Elrigh Louw has never regained his form after his injury.

Lood also failed to make an impact, and just cause penalties. He is done. With a deficit of 25 points, there was no way in hell that DDA and Kriel would have caught up with that score.

SFM, Morné vD Berg, AE and Moodie as Centre pairing, were the catalysts with ball in hand that made us catch up. Together with the proper front row of OX, Marx, and Wilco. Herschel Jantjies is also done and should not play for the Boks again.

Not so Fassi is just not good enough and has had enough chances. Our defense system was yet again found lacking. Jerry Flannery is not as good as Jacques Nienaber.

Congrats, OZ, you took your chances well.

This side was kind of set up to fail. Weak combinations throughout. Mostert shouldn't be there anymore, Elrigh proves in every single test his prowess at being the invisible man, yet there he is. Van Staden is not a test quality loosie anymore if he's ever been. It was our weakest starting front row probably of the season. Fassi shouldn't be there, almost all of us here called it long before today. Esterhuizen and Moodie gets one, maybe two tests per season in these iffy B-sides as a midfield combination, what do we expect? Fireworks? Give them 4 tests in a row with the first choice Bok pack, then we can make a proper measurement. Many players let themselves down today, there's no doubt about that. Some completely expected because they were simply performing to the par they've set (Mostert/Elrigh/Eskom/Fassi), some less so.

When I saw the Springbok team I knew they are going to lose the match. I hope to not see the following disasters ever in the Springbok team again:

•   Fassie at fullback
  

•   Esterhuizen at center - he should only be used as a loosie
  

•   Pollard at flyhalf
  

•   Van Staden - not in any position
  

•   Mostert
  

First of all defense was a factor - with both Pollard and Esterhuizen failing totally as players.. Esterhuizen is not a captains arse or perhaps he is, By the way the SA A team - that beat Zimbabwe earlier this year would have beaten the Springboks as well.

Also, when I had to leave 8 minutes before the end of the game, Aus were down to 12 men. I thought there was no way the Boks are not going to score two more tries to win in 8 minutes against 12 players (and then eventually 11 apparently). That they couldn't do it is a huge failure. From some of the comments here it appears we were again incapable of exploiting the numbers and instead tried to muscle it. Will check a replay of the game when I can. The officials did their best, like O'Thief (who definitely seems to have his knife in for Australia) calling Sua offside and getting him a yellow when he looked very much onside from the replay.

And to think Cam Hannekom got looked over for van Staden. What a Joke and what was Rassie thinking. We have Roos and Cam, but he wants to play Louw and Van Staden.

Neither do I think the boks deserve to win. Even against 11 players

Rassie need to stick with 26 players, there isn't 3 teams or even 36 players.

Yes, I'm harsh on AE but how week was his tackle.

Rassie is just messing players around.
