Did TJ just bow to the players then to the stadium as he came off??

No, he showed the Australians his arse. Time for a booting!

[Sandstorm]

No try Nick

[Ymx]

He crawled there whilst being in contact.

[Ymx]

Correct call

[sorCrer]

Most fascinating thing about this game is Rieko's haircut. I've never seen that style before.

Do you still have hair

Yep. Unlike you, I'll never be poens.

[Sandstorm]

AB bench is not very accurate

[Ymx]

Finally a try

[Ymx]

Christ they’re playing the other match on this pitch.

Is there enough time to clean the change rooms???

Same with ouboet....thick bush of hair...

OK but back to Rieko. It's the first time I've seen an eyebrow as part of a hairstyle unless the barber slipped.

[Gumboot]

That'll do.

Lots to digest, but nice to start with another donut.

[Gumboot]

Nope, Jonah sported the number 11 in '96 - suspect that's where Rieko got the idea. I drew a small cartoon of him with it for Rugby News at the time.

All Blacks just too good. 15 points from 3 matches.
Argies were in the contest for 30 mins, but barely hanging on.

At this rate the Boks are going to have to win both All Blacks matches to take Championship, because there will be no other way to make up for the bonus point deficit.

[ASMO]

AB's left at least 3 more tries out there

[Ymx]

Yeah, there was a lot of dropped ball

I think that’s the AB strategy. Not need to rely on winning both boks matches.

[boere wors]

Lukhanyo Am will play against the Wallabies for the first time

Ah yes.

It’s smart. There are 4 bonus points up for grabs before we square off. Pocketing them will be critical. Boks messed up big time not securing one in the 2nd Puma game.

Bowing to the field/court/pool when you leave it is common practice in Japan from a young age, even after training in some teams. It shows respect.

Head says Boks by 50, heart says Aus by 2.

Go, Wobblies!

Yeah. Neat. Jonah didn't have the line cut into his hair though?

You a cartoonist/artist? My favorite cartoonist is a Kiwi. Have a lot of his work. You'll know who.

Boks aren’t clinical enough to win that big. All
down to Quade…..if he shows that flair of old, it might get interesting.

[Blake]

BOKKE!!

[Ted.]

[Sandstorm]

Kicking early and successfully. Still gives me hives…..

Indeed. He’s picked that up early. Although, he’d be careful not to be accused of cultural appropriation

[Ted.]

Stop fucking kicking it.

[Ted.]

There clenched his buttocks when he blew the scrum penalty.

[Sandstorm]

Pea-heart Willie

[Ymx]

Stop fucking kicking it.

Ha ha, you tell em Ted.

It’s like asking a a cow to stop eating grass.

The Bok do like their cud.

[Ted.]

Only a yellow [/english mode].

[Sandstorm]

Turnstile Bok defence. Mapimpi shite

[Blake]

That was unfortunate.

[Ymx]

Lucky was just a yellow.

I agree with the ref though. Those freeze frames weren’t helpful
