Springboks (24) 44 / Wallabies (28) 31 (Final Score)

The Springboks hosted the Wallabies in their penultimate encounter against one another this year in the Tri-Nations at Loftus, Pretoria, South Africa at 17:00 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SuperSport HD and M-Net with previews from 16:00 SA Time.

In a very strange match, the Springboks proved too tough for the Wallabies, running in 5 tries to 4.

What was apparent to me of this match was how severely off form Bryan Habana was the whole match and what a positive impact Chiliboy Ralepelle made as a substitute for a lacklustre John Smit.

Francois Hougaard is my Man Of The Match!

Victor Matfield did a lap of honour after the match to celebrate his 100th Test Cap.

Time for some tough decisions for Peter de Villiers….. put Bryan Habana and John Smit out to pasture, their time has come and gone!
