2025 Bledisloe Cup Series

[lpd]

Wallabies just keep giving teams starts.

I’m of the opinion now the side is pretty similar to what it has been for years in quality, but they just have Test level fitness now and make it more competitive.

The only good starts have come with Skelton in the team (lions x 2) - haven’t been able to disrupt the opposition’s physicality enough

I know it was a roll of the dice, but kicking the ball away was not the play from Lonergan there. A very solid debut otherwise.

Fu.k It!

Nothing faker than this Eden Park nonsense. Needed a bald headed fool to save them tonight

14-10 penalty count

Distasteful result.

Can we just retire the Bledisole cup already. We know they will never give us a fair chance to win it back so what exactly is the point

That was a deliberate charge down, yellow card, penalty Wallabies. Bonus points on offer.
I'm disgusted by a very badly officiated game.
Either team could have win this match. It's not an excuse. But Jesus it's frustrating not getting fair outcomes from officials.

Never trust a bald man with a perfectly manicured beard.

I'm just gonna fucking say it.

With a better officiating effort (both the ref and TMO) we win that, possibly even comfortably

 

[Upthenuts]

Scott’s Abs are no different to Fozzies , piss weak at important times

 

[whitefalcon]

Fuck im so stoked for Lonergan though.

I thought he was classy as on debut

 

[molman]

Lots in our control that we could improve but some interesting interpretations in that game which sure didn’t help us.

Overall I still like what I’m seeing from the boys.

The opening 20 coming out pushing rope didn't help either.

Agree. He's a keeper.
Lonergan \ McDermott combo. Looking good

 

[lpd]

definitely some interesting officiating - but several missed kicks to touch, kick off out on the full and a key line out going wrong early in the second half really scuppered us

But in the end did not make the difference that Not red carding a tip tackle that was driven, and general mayhem in the decision making.

I just don’t understand what we’re meant to do. I know it sounds like sour grapes but it just feels like we really copped all the stiff calls that second half. The game deserved better. And yes of course we did engineer some of our own poor luck with missed kicks etc. But that doesn’t excuse it. Anyway, enjoy the post game review Andrea - not that you’ll give a shit.

 

[duckbill]

Andrea Piardi is Italian, and his nationality is irrelevant. He's just a very poor ref and he once again ruined a game like he did in the 2nd Lions test. He should not be referring big games.

 

[Pokinacha]

mayhem in the decision making.

You’re assuming Piardi was making decisions and not just letting the voices guide him…
