The Autumn Nations Series 2024 resumes this weekend and the southern hemisphere sides will hope to continue their dominance.
England tighthead prop Dan Cole has said that the blitz defence is now part of England's identity, but admitted that there will be…
The ability of South Africa and Ireland to out-score teams in the final quarter shows why they ahead of the rest.
Overall a pretty sh1t game to watch. Boks need to be more accurate could have scored many more tries. Allowed the Aussies to make the game scrappy.
But they’ve got one more warm up game against the Aussies to sharpen their knives for the AB tests.
The Aussies are poor. Lots of work to do Joe. The only time they looked dangerous was when they had a run from wide - when the Boks were down to 13.
Difficult to say what the Aussies can improve on by next week to be more competitive. Probably set pieces. But they don’t look to have the personnel to do it.
Created problems at the rucks. So maybe keep that up.
I missed the game. Forgot it was early. Will have to find it somewhere and watch it. See KLA scored another couple tries. How did SFM do?
Penalty after penalty by Wallabies in red zone in both halves, but ref does not issue even a warning until there are 3 on the same possession. South Africa commits 2, both outside red zone, warning. Their first in red zone, yellow card. He is the Aussies best player.
World Rugby trialing a new rule.
When the home team is behind by 33 points to nil, send off a few opposition players and even it out a bit. Ignore forward passes or knock-ons.
Kolbe. Packing down at tighthead now.
He is MOM.
New Zealand. Take note on how to win with 13 players.
World Rugby trialing the new use it rule. The scrum half has 5 seconds to use it. But only occasionally. Sporadically even. Within a range of 10 seconds.
Tony Brown’s attacking strategy:
Just give the ball to Kurtley.
Come on Boks. Just another 7 pointer so Finn can get the 40 point call.
TMO will probably upgrade it to a red. Here’s Aussies chance to get on the board.
Pieter, would you like a lineout, a scrum or a shot at goals?
Scrum

World rugby trying a new rule. You can drop a ball on the mark.
Noted.
Sold out Brisbane stadium? Looks like half the Aussies have gone home already.
Mostly Saffie fans remain.
Well the boks should be up 4 tries to nil by now. Maybe 40 points is on Finny Boy.
Never seen that in a lineout before. Wowsers.
Brisbane. Aka Little Loftus.
The Springboks. We’re not Wales.
