28 mins: Mitchell is yellow-carded after a call from the assistant referee Cobus Wessels. The punishment is for no arms in the tackle, which was late too. Wallabies down to 14 men.

2 mins: Great break from pivot Matt Giteau from his own 22m area as he set out on a 40m run. It’s 3 on 2 and Giteau offloads to wing James O’Connor who has centre Rob Horne on his outside. O’Connor decides not to pass and goes down to recycle. Poor passing slows momentum. However, the Wallabies still break into the All Blacks’ red zone with a penalty advantage for offside. Nothing comes from it the opportunity and referee Craig Joubert awards Wallabies the first penalty. Giteau converts. 3-0 to the Wallabies!
1 min: Wallabies kickoff and it’s a deep one. Easy for the All Blacks to secure possession and they run a couple a phases before fullback Mils Muliaina puts a long toe-poke through.

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-395: Except in WCs that is. Score Boks 2 ABs 0.5 (the other 0.5 for a WC without the best team playing)
31 Jul 2010, 14:18 pm
@skopskiet(yliad)-346: I’ve emailed the webmaster again dude, you can’t talk like that in a public forum.
It’s disgraceful, I don’t care how you speak in front of your own kids, not on in here. Show some respect.

31 Jul 2010, 14:22 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-373: the side ranked 11 are better than the side ranked 10, it’s a futile system.
31 Jul 2010, 14:23 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-405: hey, pity though because when he’s not ranting about JWs agents he actually has some great insights.
Pity they are rendered redundant with the rest of the twaddle cascading out of his mouth…
Sharks better sort out the Cheetahs today.
31 Jul 2010, 14:24 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-412: how many hours until kick-off?
31 Jul 2010, 14:25 pm
To break this appalling monotony let’s say that Bold Silvano(6) to fight it out with Aslan(11-25/1) in the Durban July and these two to be followed home by Happy Valley(13) and River Jetez(10).
31 Jul 2010, 14:27 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-402:
Shame you guys still balme everyone else for not being there in 1987. Suppose it was the refs fault.
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-404:
Wow,your easy to make smile
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-408:

31 Jul 2010, 14:27 pm

31 Jul 2010, 14:27 pm
@Big Hit(Big Hit)-413:

31 Jul 2010, 14:28 pm
@Big Hit(Big Hit)-411:
Yep and the winners of the RWC lost to the NZ that came 7th or 8th in that tournament so whats the point?
31 Jul 2010, 14:29 pm
@ET(ET)-414: Durban was quiet this morning, and the race course didn’t seem to have as many tents as usual when I looked from Musgrave today.
No doubt it’s going to be an all-fall-down affair as usual.
31 Jul 2010, 14:30 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-415: of course
cat steal ur sense of humour??
comes free you know
31 Jul 2010, 14:30 pm
.
Finally, a match with TWO sides playing rugby !
Let’s forget about the CLOWN masquerading as a ‘referee’ for now and applaud both teams for having a go until the final whistle – salute !
31 Jul 2010, 14:30 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-403: Kickshot just needs a pg rating with his comments thats all. to be accessed by grownups (which unfortunately will exclude most tokoloshe south sea islanders). kickshot bullshyte humour surprisingly is chickensoup to the soul – just don’t take it personally. btw Kickshot was goaded by that dimwit, and his reply was not as bad as some on this site… It was colourful prose only he can write…
31 Jul 2010, 14:30 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-410:
hmm i remember you saying that 3-4 weeks ago about the 3N.
31 Jul 2010, 14:31 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-415: hey if you win good luck
its part of sport
but lets not go into favourable draws etc
31 Jul 2010, 14:31 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-415: Who said anything about blame… not I. HG just pointed out the best team was missing…
31 Jul 2010, 14:32 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-422: Most of it is super funny, especially when I imagine the accent that goes with it LOL.
31 Jul 2010, 14:32 pm
@ET(ET)-414: WTF?
31 Jul 2010, 14:32 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-421:
Yep thats right. Two teams that actually put a good game together
31 Jul 2010, 14:33 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-412: @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-409: yup cant wait should be a good game
lets hope the sharks are in form or it’ll be a sad day
31 Jul 2010, 14:34 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-423: Its called staying on message and not wavering – something a duplicitous islander knows nothing about
31 Jul 2010, 14:34 pm
tsk tsk tsk ,johannesburg is waiting mate ,
31 Jul 2010, 14:35 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-424:
lol
Ok i will keep away from the Draw saga.
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-425:
Sorry,you seem to blame everything of late on the refs and Kiwis.
By the way SA wasnt the best team in the world in 1987,NZ was and proved it. Live with it and carry on,is what you need to do.
31 Jul 2010, 14:35 pm
skoppie suddenly dissapeared
me thinks his gutter language accounted for him again 
31 Jul 2010, 14:37 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-430:
Yep,even though you look like a twat,carry on with your SA will win the 3N etc
31 Jul 2010, 14:38 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-432: uhm they proved it against everyone but south africa …….

31 Jul 2010, 14:38 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-432: Well done bud, I was afraid we wouldn’t show up tonight and we didn’t, you guys must be pround, looking good, Our guys can go away lick the wounds and try and restore some pride
31 Jul 2010, 14:38 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-426: lol. what is the imagined accent? (for me its a spluttering lisp induced by two incisors missing in the top row of teeth along the lines of (phonetics) eggk gkaan joe moo-rrrr!)
31 Jul 2010, 14:39 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-419:
There will be a rush soon as the big buck Dubai oil barons are in the Indian market not far from Greyville.
What number is your bucks on?
31 Jul 2010, 14:41 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-437: LOL
31 Jul 2010, 14:41 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-434: It has been said many times before on Keo – “this is not a popularity contest”…
I like to see it as a quest for truth and exposure of duplicity in rugby…
But thank you for your concern…
31 Jul 2010, 14:42 pm
@SAussie/QldRed(SAussie)-436:
SAussie
Pride is never a problem with you guys.
I think even with the odds against you with a man down for 60% of the game,you did really well. A couple didnt do what i thought they would. Genia i thought was going to come out take the fringes like we all know he can,but he didnt. Pocock is a good player,how many steals did he get?
But thanks mate,always a good game against the Kiwis and the Ozzies,something special about them i think
31 Jul 2010, 14:43 pm
@ET(ET)-438: I haven’t a clue about ponies.
I only win when I go to the July and put cash down after 3 beers and forget about it. When I go back later I normally win. If I think about it I have no chance.
31 Jul 2010, 14:43 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-427:
It’s called the Sport of Kings but then you’re too old to even be a Prince let alone a rugby playing prince like William was.
31 Jul 2010, 14:44 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-440:
duplicity – talking up your team before the game
– disappearing for two weeks after they lose..
yep, you are extremely duplicitous…
31 Jul 2010, 14:44 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-440:
No worries,carry on with finding the truth,but it might hurt a little so be prepared its not what you think it is
31 Jul 2010, 14:44 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-432: NZ proved it by losing the year before WC ’87 and by losing ever since (in WCs), soozie or waynebarnes notwithstanding…
31 Jul 2010, 14:44 pm
@ET(ET)-443:
lol
31 Jul 2010, 14:47 pm
@goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-442:
Are you to get your usual beating today at the hands of your Nemesis, OFS?
31 Jul 2010, 14:48 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-446:
Really it does not matter. We have won the RWC,you only have won one more,good on you and well done.But all your chest beating and we are better than you has sort of back fired really has it HG. You were the one saying all this by the way.
Anyway NZ on top of the hardest Tournament in the world,top 3 teams in the world playing home and away.
31 Jul 2010, 14:48 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-441: Genia was good, I thought Barnes did nothing and really demonstrated what a loss cooper was. Mitchell is just plain stupid, One positive was that the subs did really well, I think we just don’t have the depth in Aus to compete, Maybe with a full compliment such as with Digby, Horwill, Alexander, Cooper we may have had a shot. I guess I if you look at the game in contect such as there is no other team in the World that can match you guys we did alright. Black out times are here again
