Perth is virtually neutral territory

A little research from the bookie:-

1998 - The first Rugby test at Subi in the tri-nations.

Springboks come direct to Perth for the first game of the series. On a wet and windy night they win by 14-13. Could have been anyones game from memory.


2001 - The Springboks lobbed into Perth after 2 home games at home in South Africa.
Australia arrived in Perth after games at Loftus in SA and the following week in Dunedin in NZ

Draw 14-14


2004

Springboks had been to NZ then back to Perth.
Wallabies has been to NZ the week before.

Aus 30 SA 26



2005

South Africa 2 home games then came to Perth.
Australia had been to South Africa then to Sydney and week later in Perth

SA 22 - Aus 19




As for when South African teams play on their way home the tend to get an awful fright or get beaten (except for the Stormers 2008)

I rest my case.

i just said in the other thread... im an ex-saffa

i refer to myself as a 'cut-loose' saffa. i wouldnt have a clue where my boks jumper is, and i couldnt care less! wallabies all the way!! i think they will find more saffa converts that saffa supporters at subi no worries.

You've hit a real form slump Moses. Is it the lack of people to play with on GTT that has brought this on, or something else??

Like two kids arguing in an empty playground.

Mo: "My Dad can beat their Dad"

Chook: "No. My Dad can beat their Dad"

Mo: "Bullshit! My Dad can beat their Dad."

Chook "No way. My Dad can whoop their Dad."..................

2005 was oh so sweet, it's time for change

Thanks for the info Gerry, puts things in perspective a bit.

[Stone Cold]

you're only as good as your next game and the wallabies will thump the boks at subi and we'll toast their success at the bowlo with a thousand pints
