2012 Rugby Championship Game 2 New Zealand vs Australia - 25 August

[TOCC]

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

I'm talking about how that movement started, from an AB playing the ball on the ground.... Wallabies were just penalised for that very thing 10min earlier

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!!!

I thought that too. This is a Terrible quality game though

 

[Ash]

Poor jump from Sharpe. Turning over too much possession now.

 

[Mr Doug]

Mr Doug's LRJ's have been deployed.

Batteries fully charged. No Luckiness used up on Junior Jarse games earlier today.

The collective LRJs didn't help Mr Genia, Hugh!

 

[mark_s]

Our tactics are to kick it to dagg

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^ If we can keep the Darkness out they will have worked their magic.

 

[maxdacat]

Jeez!

 

[bryce]

do the wallabies realise that you can't score points if you don't have the ball?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Gilbert on for Schmoo.

 

[Kaz]

Another Timani hit. NIce to see aggression in defence.

 

[TOCC]

Hey Robbie, awesome call starting Drew Mitchell!!

 

[Ash]

Can we PLEASE stop kicking it to Dagg?

Mitchell is gone. Poor guy. Honestly he still looks well off his best.

Owens is getting too much wrong for an international ref right now.

 

[Reido]

Great way to play yourselves out of the game boys. Primary school shit there.... FUCK!!!

 

[ACR]

Jesus, a more terrible half of rugby I have not seen in a long time. AB's caught up in the frenetic pace of the game. Sonny Bill has reverted to two years ago. Barnes having a shocker. Mitchell who hasn't played rugby in the last 2 years selected over promising young Aussie wingers. So many things wrong with this half.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Doing OK with a man down so far. Especially considering we are kicking any ball we get straight back to the Darkness.

 

[mark_s]

Robbie loves picking injured players

 

[Ash]

Tight head. Looked like someone kicked it through.

 

[rsea]

That hooper kid is fucken awesome

 

[Ash]

Wobs can't catch a break with Owens right now.

Robinson off, Slipper on.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Going in to 1/2 time only 9-0 down isn't too bad considering the YC to Sanchez.
