    Pretty sure old mate Barnes called maul before pinging Coleman for killing the ball late in the half.

    Enough possession and territory to win two games of Rugby. The Wallabies couldn't score in a brothel.

    Just left too many points out there. Gotta take your opportunities at this level.

    a disappointing result.

    I am thinking the whole backline is out of position. and Foley really is no longer required.

    Was it me or did the wallabies look very force like when on the boks' 5m line? They just seemed clueless how to get over.

    How did the Force boys go?

    I read DHP had a much improved game & looked good at FB when Folau got binned?

    Not far off to be honest. They were alright making it to the Boks 22 and then seemed to lose the plot once there.

    I heard that too. Was somewhat bemused. And nonplussed. Had to neck the rest of my beer.

    I went with others to The Sports Bar, which I thought was called The Deen. Almost 20 people were watching the big screen. What a dive!

    It was absolutely jam packed a few hours earlier for the AFL so probably still recovering from that

    I think the swans were playing. I say that because some oxygen-waster was wearing a flag at a bar in central.

    The Wallabies need more Adam Colemans. Big locks and a 6 and 8 who can hit a ruck properly and shift bodies. You've got problems when you are the size of Rob Simmons or Dean Mumm and spend all game getting bitched in the physicality department. I lost count of how many times Simmons, Mumm, Douglas and Fardy either bounced off a cleanout or lost metres carrying the football. At least Coleman hits a ruck and hits it to obliterate any threats from the opposition. Very disappointing to see the guys who are there to smash rucks and get us over the gain line looking so soft. The other problem they had was the support players were often getting to the ruck too bloody slowly. This allowed the Bokke to get a good 2 man jackal on the ball therefore killing most of our momentum dead with slow ruck ball or a turnover. Most of it comes back to the basics of forward support play: body position, being within an arms length of the ball carrier and aggression. We need forwards who can smash the rucks, make it so the opposition thinks twice abput contesting them. There is no excuse for a 115kg body not being able to shift a 100kg body at a ruck. Simmons Fardy Mumm and Douglas need to harden the f**k up or move aside for someone who can shift bodies at the ruck.

    (Yes Gigs i know i defended Douglas recently but his contributions against the Boks needs calling out. In the words of Enzo and Big Cass from WWE, theres only one word to describe them S A W F T = SAWFT)

    Yeah Cheika brought back a heap of backs from Europe who have done nothing (except Genia) when in hindsight he probably should have brought horwill back to partner Coleman

    I was noticing the same thing. We did not win the point of contact battle. They were constantly driving our ball carriers backwards, causing us to lose momentum.

    and +1 for SAWFT
