irishfemalefan 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 Just back from the bar (as usual) after watching the opening game of the tri-nations between S Africa & Aus Being a massive Rugby Union fan it delighted me to see 2 fantastiic teams who of late have not being playing well at all - but hey they are both back with a vengance!!!! Was truly delighted to see SA win as they have being building a team pretty much form scratch in the past couple of years, and although still have a long way to go, look pretty similar to when they were 1 of the best in the world As a NH (northern hemisphere of course) team supporter (Ireland be jasyus) it doesnt bode well for us meeting them anythime soon but will make for a much more interesting World Cup (which i will be at of course) - also makes for a pretty exciting next few weeks for the tri-nations All i need next is for Massa to grab pole today & ill be a happy bunny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone tell me how Australia played though as i watch the Welsh and Fijian games and the amount of simple mistakes the Wallabies were making was appalling.

irishfemalefan 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 well the general consenus is that Aus were very unlucky to lose today, their defense was excellent & they did have quite a few good breaks, Larkin kicked to his usual superb standard & Gregan passes the ball like Billy Whizz (though did hace at least 1 knock on & missed pass), they definitely do look like a much better team than the last year or 2 However although SA made a LOT of errors they still fought on & have also improved greatly in the last 2 years - the highlight though was the 2 drop goals for SA in the las 1/4 by a relative newcomer just 20 (these damn youngsters ) Very exciting game & i think if both teams iron out their silly mistakes & get better discipline it will be an excellent tri-nations & a serious threat for the World Cup - they make the NH teams look like amateurs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
