All Blacks v Poms, Test 1 Auckland

[ChargerWA]

I'd be putting Bogey Barrett on.

Still trying too much at the wrong time. The best thing about the AB's is decision making which is not happening at the moment. I loved seeing Kaino hold the ball and set up the play but then it was ping pong again.

Barrett on please.

 

[ChargerWA]

So Nonu normally plays shit Super rugby and then kills it in the tests. He has had a great Super season this year. Are we going to now see a shitty test season from him?

 

[ACR]

Knock on calls ridiculous.

Put on some Led Zepplin and see if it syncs up with the Rugby.

Geez a dusty old performance from the Blecks here.

 

[ACR]

Thank god.

 

[dabiged]

What is with the dropped kicks. Both sides.

 

[boyo]

Is it just me or is anyone else hoping Joe Marler get's tackled so hard his hair falls out.

His hair looks rather tame (I've seen his shockers)

 

[It is what it is]

McCaw very lucky there straight in the side after the knock on

If it happened at 33.42 mins in 1st half that is one of McCaws's best ever.
To get so 'straight in the side' he must have jumped his neighbour's fence.

 

[ChargerWA]

So what's wrong with Savea?

 

[ACR]

The scrums are moving because they're set too far apart.

Geez do England have some backrow depth or what. Morgan and Haskell have been very good.

Do Wood and Vunipola come straight back in? Wood was the best #6 in the world last year imo.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

The GOAT with the pilfer, & not too soon.

But the Poms get it back, now drops it, phew.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The NZRT have had more Get out of Jail Cards than a game on Monopoly.

 

[It is what it is]

Haven't seen a game with so many 2nd touch runarounds and loops for ages.
Love it.

I've been half watching this, but hasn't Joe Marler dished it out to the All Black tight heads so far. That's three huge scrums I've seen come from his side now.

Poms look good, Blecks looking shithouse.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Fekitoa looks like he's had a bottle of straight red cordial. Hope he goes well.

Nigel is being very lenient with these scrums, most refs would be awarding a penalty to England for that kind of dominance.
