SOUTH AFRICA PLAYER RATINGS | RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP vs AUSTRALIA

As a South African it is sad to see the state of Australian rugby. The Try Kurt lee scored while surrounded by Aussie players sumed up the poor state the players are in. Where was the drive, the desire and the fight Australia used to have.

[@leonnortje8330]

100% agree, very sad indeed. They looked like an amateur rugby club team, especially with the Kurt Lee try. I really hope they turn things around.

[@MosesMatsepane]

Rugby Union is not even in the Top 5 of the most popular sports in Aussie. All the talented kids gravitate towards Aussie football and Rugby League.

[@Konst_Abel]

​@@MosesMatsepaneAustralia is big enough to be Olympic champions in many different sports that aren't necessarily popular in Australia so popularity of sport is hardly an excuse. Perhaps you chaps need to stop looking for excuses for being so unbearably poor and just find a way to improve. The boks did, England did and Argentina just beat the all blacks in wellington. How popular you reckon rugby is in Argentina. 😂😂

[@MosesMatsepane]

@@Konst_Abel Yoh! Calm down, I am South African. 🤣🤣🤣🤣I was just highlighting that the talent pool for Rugby Union in Aussie is being absorbed by other similar sports that are more popular.

[@Konst_Abel]

@@MosesMatsepane don't know which part of my comment led to you feeling the need to calm me down. I very calmly told you that popularity of sport is irrelevant and you very uncalmly ignored my point and doubled down. Now calm down and address what's being said to you. 👍

Hi Tim. So we all know PSDT is amazing. He started his career as a lock and had an awesome game at 5. How do you feel about keeping him there? I think we need another fetcher? Also. BJD needs to be in the squad. He and Louw were immense.

I am hoping the loss in the 2nd test to Ireland will help Rassie to fire up his charges for next week. It would be a very 'Bok thing to do to make next weeks game a needless slog. When fired up, they are almost impossible to beat, but they can also do complacent better than almost anyone.;

[@bradparker6156]

Agree fully. Like all here, l celebrate this win. But 2 consecutive wins in Oz would be the real deal. Another to follow against a hurting AB team would just be out of this world. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. As you say, we're also world champs at complacency..

[@jameswyatt4443]

I think Ox is pushing that top 10 players from all positions list. The last test against Ireland and now this test he was arguably the best player on the pitch.

[@YOYOTh1s]

Having listened upto the point where you spoke about Eben, I think the Rassie and Tony are slowly evolving the Boks into a version of Eddie's positionless rugby. It isn't fully there yet, but getting it started with their experienced players, while slowly bringing in a whole host of talented youngsters is starting to become exciting!
