And yet Ardie called it – he said they expected the Boks to come out firing, not to be caught out as per 1st RC game
ANALYSIS: 'Time to make the tough call' - South Africa raised the stakes, and the All Blacks folded
The Boks would have to manufacture an injury to get them into the nominated squad.
I can’t see any player volunteering to injure himself

Marx is only as good as the other 7 forwards.

Both team knew the rules going into the game. I’m of the view that there was poor team management – SB should’ve been hooked at half time

Best you become accustomed to the level of officiating – not only a warm up for Ab/Boks, but also the officials

Which game were you watching?

There are probably just as many Kiwi and Ozz expats in London.
The ABs playing with 14 men was their own doing – you can push the law only so far and you will be found out. Scott Barrett was brain dead and Sam Cane displayed very poor to no leadership skills IMO.

How is it “hometown” when both side play at a neutral venue?

Plenty Handling errors by both sides as well as some rookie errors. I thought Moodie’s try was good as he was still bound to the mail when the ball came out.

It gave all RWC teams a good idea of how the officiating is going to be in the RWC. No place to hide.

Not so sure about that. Captaining a club/provincial side is one thing – captaining the national side at test level playing RWC is something entirely different. One can only hope it doesn’t detract from his game.
Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby
Very hard to say – Boks certainly turned up in the 2nd half against a full strength Pumas side and in Argentina to boot.
The next two “warm-up” games should reveal all.
'Not ideal': Springboks name injured skipper for RWC but backline stars miss out as coach names FOUR halfbacks
I think the likes of Wales etc would be rubbing their hands in glee if MH is selected. I’m no detractor of Hooper, but he is just too lightweight to play in knock-out games. Nagging injuries don’t help and the other teams will target him. RWC is cutthroat business.
'I'd be picking him': Wallabies legend backs Hoops for RWC but reckons it's a '50-50' call
Too true. I cannot understand why the Boks didn’t contest the ABs line out.
'Absolute beast mode': All Blacks bash Boks with Frizell and Jordan on fire in stirring win
You mean “hope” it’s one of those three – don’t count your chickens, it’s not over till it’s over!

Time will tell…

Never mind being beaten to the punch, the boys were blowing after 20 minutes – i think the altitude also played a part. Why cant the WB’s travel a week earlier to acclimatise, especially when its the first game?
REACTION: 'You don't have to be a smart arse, mate' - Eddie blows up at journo after Wallabies shocker
Sorry mate – disagree with you 100%!

Perceptions are peoples realities
'Silly' and 'desperate': White tries to explain discipline dramas, as Wallabies fear they might be reffed on reputation
White’s incessant chatter and continual questioning of the referee is adding to the poor image. Its only a matter of time before he crosses the line and gets a yellow for it.

Wobblies are fast developing a bad reputation – pretty sure it will be discussed in the ref panels – only a matter of time before WBs get a cheese for it.
REACTION: 'Somehow!' - Wallabies reprieved at the death to open tour with nail biting win over Scotland
Never was, never will be a home game at Twickenham.
