Otherwise it was a good game.
When I was young and watch rugby back in the 80s Australia had a kicker who could slot them in from all over the field. The games were usually won on penalties.
I reckon Giteau is well overpaid. You can't say though, that had he got the kicks they would have won.
Wonder if Rocky was referring to Giteau when he was asked if he could point any fingers and replied yes, but we all saw the game.
You have to admit it was a great game to watch and not one to be ashamed about losing. Thank christ they are starting to run again and that endless bloody kicking has taken a back step.
Referees are getting smarter too, although I have a thing about South African and Pommie refs
