WTF is up with Carlos' jacket (? could be a brunch coat)? Collar & tie not too flash, either. Standards, Carlos, please. Remember you're a Waiopehu Oldboy. @Dan54 did you not teach him how to dress properly?

5 points?

Edit: make it 7.

eh went straight to the NZ player who fumbled it under no pressure. Not claiming that one lead to a try hopefully...

ABs starting to open up.

I do love the Japanese disdain for opinions on the way that test rugby should be played. Entertaining for sure. It's not going to be winning against New Zealand.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Full frontrow swapout by Fozzie. Probably needs to get a fresh loosie out there too.

 

[qwerty51]

Wow a TMO check for a NZ cleanout. There is a first for everything.

 

[KOB1987]

Retaillick is going home for the summer

 

[qwerty51]

That is a huge. Could be the difference between the ABs winning and losing the next couple matches.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Red. No question about it.

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby finally makes his AB debut...

Retalick loves that loaded shoulder ruck charge. Nice to see it actually get picked up for once.

Another reason Foster has to go. You can't select a player who opts for that look.

 

[The Nomad]

Over 65K in attendance, pretty impressive.

 

[dru]

31 points against NZ. Wow. Still a chance too.

 

[Adam84]

Jeez, which idiot gave the TMO power to call back tries after conversions already been made… Both teams are on the the halfway waiting for a restart and we have to sit and listen to watch replays FF (Folau Fainga'a) an already converted try.

 

[qwerty51]

This is reallllllly encouraging for Aus A and our depth behind the Test side.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Never thought I'd be celebrating/ relieved about an AB penalty in the 80th minute v Japan.

 

[dru]

Fabulous rugby entertainment. Thanks to both teams and well done the winners.

Kinda building a soft spot for the Blossoms all the same.

My mate who back in the day was a VIce ringer always claimed he was going for the Paul Simenon look. I doubt Dalton has a clue who either of them are (or they him for that matter).

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Out of jail.

Not impressed with Tupou Vaii. Spindly on defence, a lottery in the lineouts and a klutz on attack. If thats the future of the AB locking stocks then Houston we are stuffed.

Some good info for the selectors as to who is not up to it yet: Perofuture offered zero on attack. Ranga Christie was kind of a mess. RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) and Ennor made bugger all inroads. Against Japan ffs

D.Paps subbed on to bail the slack motherfuckers out with his new do', a menacing shade of woodchipper guy white:

 

[Lightblue]

Japan played all over the All Blacks….plus the ABs had a forward pass try awarded… Japanese coaching staff have drilled a great side which mixes it up on every play. Very entertaining… The aura of the All Blacks is fading fast…
