It's official! In the immortal words of Thin Lizzy, The Boys are Back in Town!
After about roughly 53 seconds of sloppy play with a greasy ball, the Wallabies sucked it up, gave it their all and showed just how gosh darned good they can be! Even giving the Boks a solid quarter hour of play time in the attack on the second half left them scoreless (and this was about all the possesion the boks had).
I may be riding high on the Force's victory this arvo, but damn that was a good game to watch - even if it was a 2 and a half hours delayed telecast on commercial ridden Channel 7 (gggrrrrr) Onya Holmesy for your 2nd try in almost as many weeks, and to Gregan for knowing only a prop forward could have pulled that try off.
Gits did good, Rocky did great and Fava was, in my humble (rather biased) opinion, the quiet achiever - a full 80 minutes of giving it all for the team! Aussie Clyde deserves a mention for that last try and Mortlock and Larkham shone as usual. Tonights match was really a team effort!! The trinations aren't looking quite as one sided as they were a week ago - I'm off to get me another beer
Referee Paul Honiss gets an 7/10 with a dark mark for the dodgy scrum call in the first half (in Australias favour) - I'd be interested to hear a South Africans or perhaps even waReferee's honest opinion on his match...
