8 min mark Hogard plays quick tap 3m in front of ref mark. They get another head scratcher penalty during this illegal play and take points 8-3.

One must say I know early days and after watching him play nrl and really struggle for the majority of his nrl days
What the hell do rugby Aus and the wallabies get from Sua'ali'i?
I can’t work out what is his best position and he still struggles in defence particularly mobility and offers little in attack
Tbh wallabies don’t use him at all and I forgot he was even in the field!
also Toole they need to try and utilise him better but this was the risk as he will get little chances in test match rugby

but seriously $1.5m for Sua'ali'i? There are 20 better nrl centres out there

Man losing like that sux. Is almost be able to take it a little better if we got smashed. The emotions still running high after that game

 

[Heavyd]

SBW is a moron commentator. Stan ditch him.

21.35. Head scratcher reverse penalty against Australia for chop tackle

Because you know we could have and probabaky should have won. If those 50/50s went out way we win. Even playing average. If we play to our full potential we win. If the 50/50s go our way and we play to our full potential we win by 20

The knock down at the end summed up the ref for me. Quin wasn't even the tackler and clearly knocked the ball down. He tried to sell so thing by acting hurt even. The. The ref says knocked on in the tackle ? He wasn't the fucking tackler

Since when do the refs care when a ruck is formed for hands ? They never call it now down. No such thing as a ruck. Potter got a good steal and got a yellow

Leroy Carter: looked to have a great night. Rieko could be history?

Cam Roigard: ffs just make him the captain already.

Ardie Savea. almost a coupla mini crazy horse runs, vanishes for 50 minutes, gets his one crucial late swoop-in turnover, usual night at the office

Simon Parker: shit man I dunno. Lakai seems better than him and Sititi

Tupou Vaa'i: gets the hook. Another who can't stop shit when big forwards start rolling at him

Wallace Sititi: I dunno, this dude still plays just as small as Kirifi. Can't stop shit when guys like LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) or Frost get their roll on. Razor likes his Nice Company Men ahead of big bad boy muthafuckazz like Hoskins S******u

Really missed roigard v arg and SA
Parker has real squire vibes! Didn’t notice him in a good and bad way but will expect more as he plays more tests! Perfect 6 size just needs some grunt
Vai should be back to bench next week swap with pat - too many penalaties and errors
Sititi hasn’t played much and maybe 2nd year syndrome but will get better

Caleb Clarke was very solid also! I think he and Narawa once fit might be the wings
Need to bring Faingaanuku to 13 proctor meh

Any update on Dylan Pietsch? Harry Potter cannot tackle

 

[Heavyd]

Stan not showing replays of any of the infringement’s. Is this a world rugby directive?

Likely the local broadcasters doing the South African thing of not replaying anything likely to influence the ref against the home team

 

[fatprop]

The ref didn't miss tackles, screw up kick offs, knock the ball on and miss kicks for touch

 

[Pfitzy]

Won the maul.
Even Stevens at scrum time tho the late penalty to the ABs needs another look.
Ruck was a lottery.
We got pineappled on a few of the decisions.
We missed 39 tackles.
Gotta say the maul collapse before Tizzano's try was the easiest penalty try + YC Piardi could every have awarded but he didn't do that. Scratching head.
Missing touch getting greedy is not cool.

ABs changed their ruck defence strategy straight after halftime - basically not competing unless it was absolutely on. We didn't smarten up in the same way.

 

[LookLongPlayShort]

JOC (James O'Connor) Just kick the ball out FFS!

 

[Giulia]

They (NZR) are more than entitled to think ‘who gives a fuck about AFL’ as well as ‘maybe this is why you haven’t beaten us for 20 something years if you care so much about this prancing poodle sport’ and that’s fine but their bigger issue is not being commercially minded with regards to their most important partner. They need our engagement in the long run or they’ll just end up on the same trajectory that we have been on for 20 years.

Hopefully NZR doesn't think in homophobic imagery

no update

 

[rugbyAU]

De Groot and McDermott out next week, any others (likely Barrett)

 

[BDA]

Its unfortunate the officiating is overshadowing an otherwise very good test match and australias best performance at eden park in a long time
