[bryce]

Looks like Sitaleki Timani finally woke up this morning and realised that he's a 6'8", 120kg monster

 

[Ash]

Again Barnes. Argh.

 

[rsea]

And so is farking Barnes

 

[TOCC]

Stop the stupid dam kicks

 

[ACR]

Barnes is playing even worse than the AB's with the needless pop passes. That's saying a lot.

 

[Ash]

Now Cooper too. Someone needs to tell them to cut it out.

 

[biggsy]

Stop fucken kicking Barnes

 

[Ash]

Genia binned. Not good.

 

[maxdacat]

Groaaaaaaan!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

YC for Genia. Awful news. Need this like a hole in the head.

WHo's captain now?

 

[TOCC]

Are you fucken serious... This ref is a friggen retard...

 

[Ash]

Hopefully Owens will be consistent with his issuing of YCs.

 

[Reido]

Barnes is shit! 4 aimless kicks so far. WTF is he thinking?

 

[ACR]

Are you fucken serious. This ref is a friggen retard.

Deliberate cynical play on the back foot. It's a yellow all day. Like above, as long as it's consistent.

 

[Kaz]

Why play Quade if you are only going to kick ???

 

[TOCC]

How is it the Wallabies clear over the top of a ruck, and the AB player on the ground is allowed to pop it to his support... Fucken penalty!!!

 

[Ash]

Wobs just need to slow it up here.

And stop all the freaking kicking.

 

[naza]

Barnes' usual idiotic gormless play is killing us. Ref is in love with the All Blacks, as most of them are. Game reminds me why I don't bother watching much rugby anymore - its just unbelievably frustrating to watch.

 

[Bardon]

Really enjoying this one so far. 0-0 after 24 minutes would have you imagining 2 packs rolling around in the muck like a drove of pigs. But it's been 2 teams playing much better than last week and some good attack cut out by good defence on both sides.

Aus pack are going well thus far and it's great to see both team really contesting the breakdown. Aus backs standing flatter and taking their cue from QC (Quade Cooper) look a lot more dangerous but ABs are sniffing around for the intercept.

NZ are going well too. Pack not as dominant but they're looking dangerous as every on turnover and 1st phase, just Aus have tightened up the defence this week.

6-0 now and it's still game on IF Aus can keep NZ out for the period of the sin bin. Silly decision by Genia to slap the ball down in front of the ref.
