Boks wary of Wallaby ambush
Independent nline – Jun 15, 2007
The Wallabies in the past have always relied on great individual backline names to beat the Boks. Invariably they’ve failed through a lack of accuracy in their attacking game and in some cases plain rotten luck. The team that tries to play the attacking rugby on Saturday could be the one that gets punished. Australia’s history against South Africa in the last four years is of a side that has taken it through 15 phases on occasion only to concede the turnover and seven points from a breakaway try. They will have learned their lessons and if they’ve played ego rugby in the past this could be the one time when they challenge South Africa to play the greater variety of rugby. If the Boks are suckered into a game of ego they will lose. To beat the Aussies the Boks have to be boring and as the masters of conservatism a boring Bok team will be more effective than a Wallabies side that tries to be boring… The team that tries to play the attacking rugby on Saturday could be the one that gets punished.

The crowd will want an expansive game but Australia has never won any prizes for coming to South Africa and playing attacking rugby. A more accurate analysis of the Australian attempt to break a seven-Test losing streak in South Africa would be to anticipate a Wallabies game plan that relies on turnover ball to punish the Boks and intent to playing error-free rugby in their own half.
