"I bet you wouldn't have fucking dropped it if it was a donut!" Justin Harrison to Ollie le Roux in a Super 12 final after he dropped the ball over the line.
It’s often said that South African forwards were born when meat was cheap. Obviously they buy their donuts in bulk as well. Their game plan today will be to try and squeeze the life out of the Wallabies by kicking deep, applying pressure in set pieces and making the Aussies pay through penalties for mistakes. Look for a game plan more boring than Mike Tindall's love life.
Australia will no doubt counter this through a little game plan Robbie calls "Rip, Shit or Bust", which involves firing Pocock into the rucks like a harpoon missile, and then letting Cooper, O’Connor, Beale and company play touch rugby in the backs. Good plan, but let’s hope their situational awareness has improved since this photo was taken.
Wallabies by 10.
The Puma’s have nothing to lose today. The worse that can happen is they lose and have to go back to South America.
Damn Argentinians and their stupid, sexy fans.
On the other hand the AB’s might finally be succumbing to the weight of a nation. Carter’s out, as well as Dagg, Kahui and Guilford, Richie’s one leg, Weepu has shaved his beard off and Slade just wishes he could shave. And we’ve got $$onny Bill on the wing.
Let's hope it's not Groundhog Day. AB’s by 14.
