Bledisloe II @ Eden Park

[Derpus]

So well probably lose but fuck it. We are still decent. They literally grabbed the ball whislt lying on the ground. Its rugby 101. You cant beat that. S'life.

My brief, basic bitch, thoughts of that half:

• Laulala is pretty handy at scrummaging
• Tuipulotu has brought his physicality to a test for the first time in about two years
• It's a nice change to have wingers that actually do something
• Our Fijian winger is better than your Fijian winger (in rugby at least, probably not as a person)

So you're allowed to knock it on if it bounces first. Mmm ok.

 

[tragic]

What's happened to our scrum. Bizarre. Can't be all Coleman?

It would help if their loose head wasn’t pushing at 90 degrees

Loss of Arnold is huge.

Clearly!

That's not what the referee said......... I think I see a pattern?

Moody sideways again / still. Marler-esque.

What did he say then? And what is the rule?

Unbelievable that Peyper wouldn’t see this

The ball didn't go 10m from the kick off.........

 

[Adam84]

So now you're calling that a head high tackle? You sure it wasn't a "judo throw"?

Judo throw grabbing around the neck... doesn’t make it any better

 

[Slim 293]

AAA seeing some extra A's.........

So you're allowed to play at the ball inside that 10, knock it on and still get the ball? New to me.

Ref said it bounced before he played at it.

Nice little supporting hand by Moody in that last scrum.

Good try by SBW.

 

[dru]

Whitewash coming.

Pretty sure if it doesn't go 10 then its the penalty... so advantage Wallabies, knock on after so then goes back for the first penalty .. isn't that correct ?

 

[Adam84]

Look, this is a game where 100kg+ bastards literally run into each other at full tilt. You think a 9 getting flung to the ground is dangerous. Get real.

"Round the neck", he put his hand on his shoulder then grabbed his shirt. He didn't actually wring his neck.

Sure give him a penalty, but that was in no fucking imagination "dangerous".

Have you considered, that the appreciation of player safety in the game has evolved past what you expect of the game?
And other teams have adapted but ABs are struggling to keep up, or wilfully not not adapting for competitive reasons.

This game is lost because Australia hookers don’t hook anymore. This has been happening for years through out the game .
How ever decided not to hook is a fuck wit
