THIS WEEKEND 14-15 JULY
15.07.2006
Australia 49,
South Africa 0 in Brisbane (Tri Nations)
Australia won by 49 points. I predicted Australia by 2.
South Africa travels to New
Zealand this week having been hammered 49-0 by Australia. They will face the All
Blacks in Wellington.
South Africa had no answers
to a rampant Australian side that preyed upon a
stream of poor decisions,
weak tackling and inept play by the visitors.

South Africa has had the
better of the contests in the last two years but has not found Brisbane a happy
playing ground. You have to go back to the infamous tour of Australia in 1971
to find a South African win on Brisbane soil
