Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

[Bardon]

Very poor defending from JOC (James O'Connor) left himself in no mans land and made it easy for the ABs.

Mogg kicking?

 

[Bardon]

Mogg is doing very well under those bombs, one positive light from the Wallabies start so far.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Not enough Gold in the crowd. Come on Sydney.

ARU have not promoted this match to the locals.

The whole town should be Gold. It isn't.

 

[No4918]

First scrum, feed not straight.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Concertina Scrum. Not a good start from the Wobs.

This could be a long night.

 

[No4918]

AB feed looked worse not called.

 

[mark_s]

AB feed looked worse not called.

And on he first scrum, woodcock had his date facing the side
Line

Pinging McCaw for offside?? This bloke will never ref again.

 

[mark_s]

7-6 after mccaw penalised for being off feet in ruck

 

[Hugh Jarse]

12 minutes gone.

Aust 2 penalties - 6
AIG 1 try converted - 7

 

[hazzaj]

scrums look shit now.

 

[redstragic]

No, he made up for it with that non knock on call.

 

[hazzaj]

Hooper is KILLING IT.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hooper is starting very well. 1 pilfer and 1 holding on penalty at least.

Hoops is showing the GOAT how to do it.

 

[Bardon]

Nice turn over won by Hooper there. Overall Aus have responded very well since going behind.

 

[ACR]

7-6 after mccaw penalised for being off feet in ruck

Wouldn't have happened if they could have cleared him out properly. Clearly the Wallabies fault.

 

[Pauly]

Hooper is all class.

 

[Vanuatu Chiefs]

I vow to only drink if McCaw is penalized. That 2nd drink's tasting good.

 

[Bardon]

Excellent break by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) followed by a silly kick from Genia.
