When the Boks are playing well it becomes so painful obvious why they are the reigning Rugby World champions!

[PN_]

We played badly, SA had a good day, handbags came out at the end. A decent 1-1 series and onto the next match!

[DavidLTJ]

Sadly, from the offset, Australia's game-plan was to provoke the boks by any means so as to win the psychological game... it didn't work did it?

[hansdedipper]

YOU picked Dame Edna on 9 and knew the Springboks hate him with a passion.

Got your arses kicked for condoning his total lack of self respect and sportsmanship.

Eben manhandling that woosy prop who nearly pissed his pants was a clear message to the
You don't send woke boys to face men!!

[IS-]

They were simply dominated and victimised by the wolrd champions at their own backyard.

[uberboiz]

I reckon the Wallabies shouldn't have kept the same starting 15 from previous week despite the win - some of those players were underwhelming in the first game, and remained the same in the second game. South Africa looked hungrier and more determined after the first game.

[MJ-sjpu]

SA controlled every aspect - great display gave a few needless penalties away they are number 1 and deserve it their games improved a lot

[redpilled]

Australia was pissing of the Boks early in this game and I told my father that is good when we are up for it and pumped up that's when we are at our best.

[SafferPOV]

Maybe drop that motormouth dive artist, Nic White. He only motivated the Boks

[stimbhoqo]

The poor officiating by the referee last week is just unthinkable. Referees need to be sanctioned as well, seriously

[deebrowne]

Yes BOKKE you ran the Aussies into the ground you deserved the win you played the ref last week And our captain had a excellent game♥️♥️

[MsSean]

Some yellow cards were missing to given to the Australian team

[punchinator]

Wallabies haven't had a formidable forward pack in decades. Rennie doing his best with what he has. Good luck moving forward.

[ajm]

The Aussies suffer from severe inconcistancy, hence they haven't won a RWC since 1865. SA and NZ both 3x now with SA the current Champs and showing it yesterday. Aussies n NZ losing vs Argentina and yesterday Aus got given a rugby lesson after the slip up a week before with arguably the world's worst ref in history,

[garywalsh]

Aussie got caught flat footed. Complete reversal with huge interest. Bokke got on top from whistle to whistle. White needs a serious self chat.

[diligentmindz]

Is this a media press conference? Why is the sound so utterly crap?

[corncakes]

I liked what slipper said, he wants the boys to hurt, because saturday's performance didn't seem to have a lot of heart or soul in it (for Auz). The Wallabies need to start naming a new squad, get the younger guys ready for test rugby and the RWC next year and start playing some quality ball. Hoping the new coaching staff will make a big change and maybe we need to consider new options with so many boys getting injured. I love Tupou but he's no help when he gets injured during the warm ups..

On a positive - the southern hemisphere is looking strong for the RWC. Everyone is 1 for 1 during the champion.

[ajm]

When the Boks go full on beast mode with ultra aggression and gangsta play style, no team in world rugby can match us, and it was proved vs the ABs in the first test and the Wallabies in the 2nd test yesterday. We need to play like this every fckin game, from de Allende's aggressive reaction after scoring the first try, up to Mampimpi's try at the end when the Aussie women's rugby team went all emotional after being touched softly in the face, showed the world why they are unbeatable at times. They just need to keep this aggression up there 24/7 every game and the 4th world cup is theirs next year.

[MTG]

I would've shelved Nic White and Started Tate McDermont or Gordon & had Koroiebete off the bench.

[SW-rxpt]

The boks were better however refs are the star of the show now and it’s ruining our game.
Needless yellow cards and video refs looking for a reason to penalise players
Wtf is with the drinks break, slowing down a game being slowed down already by the refs
