Well after last night's 22-19 defeat of the Wallabies by South Africa, that's the fourth straight loss for the Australian boys. Uh oh!

The Wallabies didn't play badly last night, things just didn't go right for them starting with the withdrawal of Elton Flatley just before the run on due to blurred vision. That meant a backline reshuffle that would have certainly affected the players.

I must say I thought that the refereeing was ordinary, there was penalty after penalty after penalty. And some dodgy decisions. Sometimes you just wish they'd take the whistle off the ref :)

Drew Mitchell put in another big game for the Wallabies, but it was Habana for the Boks who was the star of the show scoring two break away big runs to go over twice for the Springboks. Wowee that guy is fast. Of course, had David Lyons and Mat Rogers not coughed the ball up on those two occasions then the story may have had a different ending. The Wallabies were actually up at one stage, but it was not to be their night... again.

The pressure mounts on both Gregan and Jones.
