Tri nations

Well, after all the publicity and Pre Match Aussies almost a rejection of a second set of weak teams and play with those big favorites to win the match at full strength team was very close, this SA underdogs lost!

The Aussies looked bored, and was anything but lively, which is not in a very entertaining game of rugby, from the viewer. And all the negative comments, it cost big time. The audience did not materialize and Telstra Stadium was only half full. The bad attitude of Aussies came back to bite them, losses of revenue.

The Springbok "second stringers" were little better than dull, and probably more than convinced Wallaby team expects to be on that day. In fact, play Spring Boks did not take long, pointing to the painting and after the first 16 minutes, they already had a bill for 17 points. It certainly stunned wallabies, which were at a loss what.

The Boks were not so bad, but definitely not as good. Some players played their hearts and others have been miserable. The battle ahead in front, so that not much reaches the ball back. Wikus van Heerden was Man of the Match for his efforts, but this prize is always one of the winning team. He and Skinstad, Paulse, Murray and van der Linde, everything seemed to be the oldest man on the ground, Johan Ackermann. Pienaar, tub Burg, Van den Burgh, Pietersen, Olivier struggled, but had a good day, while Bismarck du Plessis and Hougaard was horrible. Hougaard missed three penalties and at the last stage of the game, Du Plessis, not in it to pass through an unmarked Paulse try for some. This loss of 16 points, it does not prevent the Spring Boks displayed, the wallabies and poetry is hardly a victory, but it should not be.

The judge was a bit difficult to damage in the first sin Binning Gary Botha and Johan Muller, then the loss of Ackermann after the first half hour provided a lack of power in the scrum. Skinstad cracked a rib and 2 injured player has returned to South Africa.

Through the loss of players to injuries and yellow cards were Aussies will be able to use and convert it into points. The Spring Boks in possession of the entire first half of the game was the Aussies results in 3rd Quarter level, and then seemed to slip into quiet, but suddenly woke up again in the last 10 minutes and scored twice to win the match 25-17.

While South Africans were disappointed at the loss, the wallabies, are licking their wounds. The fact that she will not be able to control the game and decided to beat the second stringers are of more concern than the fact that the Spring Boks are aware that they have won, it should. If they do not lose those 16 points, the result would have been otherwise. You can rest assured knowing that it causes nearly upset, but to the right of any error in their plan before they meet New Zealand in the 4th Week after the Tri Nations. The Kiwi is a much better clothes and not to be disturbed by the results or advertisements. They know what they have done and are sure to do just that if they want the trophy.

It is at this stage it is unclear who will bear the Springbok captain's armband, but one thing is certain - they have no shame, and gave the Aussies something to think about complaining. Some players have really shown that they are in SA World Cup squad, and this would be more headache for the Springbok selectors are worth something.
