die bandiete se skills agte is al wat hulle red
The Poms might just pull this one out of the fire.
Penalty Wallabies… crucial steal on their own 22m line….
Quade Cooper kicks a beautiful touch finder, 5m out from Poms line…. Wallabies will hang on to win this one.
But they’ll be worried for the future with this performance…
Makes me worried about the scrumming for the Bokke match, seeing as Northern Hemisphere scrums are so strong.
Cooper goes for posts…. over
Wallabies 27 / 17
souties se goeie werk in die scrums laat word nou vertwer
Penalty Wallabies… kickable
Hooter has gone, so they lick out.
Game over.
Wallabies win 27 / 17
Yep, good result for the Wallas, and congrats to the Poms on such a hard fought match.
Deans is going to have a couple of headaches in the morning; what to do when the scrum problems are sooo evident and costly??? A question for our guru, Tight Head?????
Deans knows this is such a inexperienced front row….he picked this on what was available and next on form.
Good for him to take the risk…he is giving experience to the inexperienced.
I believe the english milked some of the refs inadequacies…but mostly the ref got the scrums right.
