Beugen Barrett comes on for 10 seconds, doesnt want to get his strides mucky, has a nancy boy wendyball swipe at it instead of just falling on the fucker and promptly gets binned leaving the national team with no 1st 5/8 versus Australia in a Bledisloe Cup rugby football test match in Australia. FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT MATE. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY FOR THE FUCKIN' ALL BLACKS OR NOT?

Forwards go-forward ineffectual. When it came time to murder the bride directly in the face at the coalface, in the oppo 22, they had nuthin.

Mealamu comes on and immediately begins throwing into the lineout like he's been on the piss all day. And half of yesterday. WhyFT sub Coles at 52 mins? The young prick just bolted 70 yards to clean up a kick with staggering aplomb for anyone let alone for a hooker. He could play a hundred fuckin minutes.

DISGRACEFUL WORK, NEW ZEALAND.

NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Post of the year! Absolute classic! Thanks for the laugh.

As far as the series go that might just be the nail in the coffin for Aus rugby. We won't win at Eden Park, finances down the shitter etc. Only a 2 match series next year, then 2 in NZ the year after.

It may take a funeral of Australian Rugby to hit the IRB into action
disagree I think the wet weather played into the all blacks hands more then any home ground advantage would have. tipping next wekk to go to the wire as well. Also believe that Ewen should stick with beale at 10

I will be really pissed off tomorrow if someone (probably from league) says that was a boring game!

I thoroughly enjoyed it! Both teams went hammer and tong for 80 minutes. The refereeing was very questionable at stages, but that didn't deter any of the players.

All Blacks were their usual brilliant selves. I hate them, but admire them very much at the same time. Spent 20 minutes of the game with 14 players and still didn't lose.

Very, very proud of the Wallabies. I can see a MASSIVE improvement in the way they played. Very aggressive and determined at the breakdown, Hooper and Slipper were sensational.

Charles was very solid in his run-on debut. Whilst McCabe, Izzy and Horne put in a guts effort minus a few mistakes. Fardy and Palu are machines.

Overall, I hope the Wallabies put in a similar effort in New Zealand. The All Blacks were tested at stages; if balls go to hand, lines are run and a bit of fucking mongrel kicks in, we might be able to win.

P.s Hats off the 'Gold Mine'. Great to see plenty of gold support in the crowd.

I totally agree. Tonight was a classical arm wrestle. There may have been no tries scored, and the game ended in a draw, but I was glued to my couch the whole time.

Eh? Did you miss the Coles 70 metre sprint, regather, brush off of a would-be defender and pass to his centre?

Play of the game.

The ABs suffered when he went off, his work around the park and LO throwing was on song.

Meanwhile OZ hooker spent most of it on his puku at scrum time :)
Charles was better than Coles but yeah that was a good play. Pretty sure that pretty kick he was chasing was off the boot of Charles also which is a weird tidbit.

I actually think the wet weather really disadvantaged us.

Cruden, Fekitoa, Ben Smith (at fullback) and Jane is a dry track backline.

Carter, Conrad and Dagg (at fullback) are a lot more proficient in the heavy track especially Carter and Dagg with their superior kicking games to Cruden and Smith respectively.

How can you be happy? They missed a unique opportunity!

Without Woodcock
Without Dan Carter
Without Conrad Smith
Cruden was very poor
Without a right wing (I think Hansen will replace Jane by Piutau or Dagg, he was very poor tonight)
Without Nonu on the second half
2 yellow cards for ABs at the same game.

I can't believe it! I'm not sure when it will be repeated a chance like this. Worst of all is that we had the players to win the game, but Link chose to experiment :mad:

My assessment included Old Man River's time at #2 as well. A rather unforgettable performance from him.

The byplay - Charles kick through to Coles tidy up in cover defence was impressive efforts from both Hookers.

I still don't really understand why Shag took Coles off.

If it was dry, they would've been chasing kicks like they did tonight.
