David Pocock. Biggest cheat in the game today. John Philip Botha. Too dirty for todays game. Joe Rokocoko. Seems to get picked even when his form is awful.

Makes a mockery of Dan Carter's suspension though for the same kind of tackle last year. He was sighted and suspended for a week after playing against Wales in Cardiff. I think all the players can ask for is consistency.

Maybe you could make a video of what McCaw gets away with and not show any footage of what Pocock gets away with. That'll prove it once and for all. :p

I do? I think on his day he can be. I've also watched Pocock put in some top performances this year. Especially in a forward pack that is quite often going backwards. I don't think McCaw gets away with anymore than Pocock does.

It's not a kneejerk reaction. Lee reckons McCaw gets away with more than your guys. I don't reckon he does. Your opensides play the same game as McCaw and get away with the same stuff. But you guys can keep to your blinkered view that's only the other guys getting away with more.

That is what he said and I disagree with him. OZ have put out 3 great number 7's over the last decade who have gotten away with murder at the breakdown and other facets of play. I have no doubts about what McCaw gets away with. But with the 7's Oz has had over years you surely must see how...

Bit of a laugh reading that. Especially after watching Smith and Waugh enter from the side for years. Now Pocock is picking up exactly where they left off. But of course those 3 players never pushed the laws. Has there been player as talented as Smith at reaching through the ruck to knock...

Congrats to you Ozzie supporters. It's been a while coming but I bet that tasted pretty sweet. OZ were just too good on the day. That opening 15-20 minutes from your guys was some great rugby. I never realised that Beale was so damn fast. Maybe after 5 years Lee Grant may end up right...

It should have been McCaw. The guy was on absolute fire.

Dude, you have surely lost the plot. Did you think one of the Aussies should have been binned for infringing 1m out after tackling Mils? What about a penalty try for collapsing the maul when the All Blacks where only 5m out. Surely that is a 'prearranged illegality'. Or would it only be that...

Haven't you watched Scarfmans video? :p I thought it was an ok game. Some great tries from the Wallabies but Matfields chip chase taking the cake. Some truly awful defence from the boks. They need to take a leaf out of the Stormers book who leaked bugger all points this season...

Isn't the theory that it takes too long to acclimatise to the altitude so you're better off spending less time in it and only traveling up to it on game day or the day before?

The bad ref calls do go both ways though. Great test. Boks won the collisions but just ran out of gas. Juan Smith would be my motm.

That for the last 8 years refs haven't been able to cope when officiating games that involve the All Blacks?

Cool. Glad I could help.:yay

I think he answered it with both eyes open rather than the cyclops who made the video. Yeah the All Blacks "cheat" but so does everyone else. Refs will always miss stuff from both teams. Welcome to the beauty of rugby guys.

Name: Mike Biagio Question: Hi there, The play by the All Blacks lately has made me very concerned, in that they are running obstructively (i.e. in front of the tackle) on defence and on attack. The means that on defence, the Boks cannot get to the tackle to compete, and the All Blacks get...

I think the article is pretty good when you consider it's for an OZ audience. It's not a balanced article though if he does not mention the illegal parts of the Wallabies game. I don't dispute what he says about the All Blacks illegal tactics but there isn't a balance in that article. Unless...

The Boks didn't have a good 2008 at all. They won 2 out of their 6 tri nations and finished last. That's not sustained success. They did have a great 2009 where they were clearly a head of the pack but have since been over taken again because of a coaching team that has refused to change...

Penalty for not staying on their feet then. :thumb
