On Australia vs Sth Africa

The best analogy I have for last nights Tri Nation's rugby match between South Africa and Australia (held in Perth, Australia) is this: last nights game was the equivalent of going surfing at Dee Why. Dee Why as a beach is rough, unpredictable, not that enjoyable, but it is still a beach and with that comes sun, sand and the sentiment of holidays. Same with this match. It was a rough, basic, brutal, unrefined demonstration of physical rugby, however for all its rough edges and crude play it was still rugby at the highest level between two great teams, and... Australia still came out on top 16-9 against South Africa, the current World Champions.

The real test is still out there... the next two weekends we have back to back games against the All Blacks. South Africa are tough but last night they became trophies on the wall, alongside the heads of the French and the Irish. Let the rebuilding of the Wallabies continue.
