Springboks to finish off the Tri-Nations with a 13+ win over the Wallabies.

Care factor is decreasing if im honest haha.
Still, Australia 1-12, sort out the 2nd half fadeout as well.

OH MY FUCKING GOD YES!

WOW!! Stoked I watched this in the end, about time we beat the Boks at altitude, it's been too long. How good was our first half!? Some of the best Rugby we've played in years, it was a joy to watch. That second half was fkn dreadful, if we had of lost it would have been the end of Deans for sure. Kurtley Beale's falcon was classic haha, nearly cost us the game. The last ten minutes was intense, to win in the circumstances we did though was just awesome. David Pocock was easily MOTM imo - came up with some massive plays, AAC was probably our best back I thought.

The Mandela Plate is coming home!

HAha me too, I had completely forgot about it and I was watching FSN at about 1.10am when I got home and saw the score on the bottom of the screen so I turned it on. Very glad I did.

Our first half was sensational, the collapse in the second half was pretty sensational as well. When it was all going on I was just thinking 'not again surely?' but the boys did well to regroup and hit back.
Beale had actually had a shocking 2nd half too but im happy for him even though I dont like him much lol, when the kick went over I was up and about cheering and its been a while since a game of international rugby has had me so pumped up for the whole game, brilliant to watch.
AAC was immense and Pocock is a machine. Whyd the Reds let him go again?!

I watched the last 10 mins and even though it was a replay my god it was intense, WHAT A KICK!
