Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

[No4918]

How the hell can they lose that with so many bodies

 

[Hugh Jarse]

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has used up his annual allocation of passes.

 

[Bardon]

In fairness to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) any pass that was on was pretty difficult as he'd outrun his support. I think he did the right thing retaining the ball and allowing the Wobs to recycle it.

 

[hazzaj]

No nerves for Cruden. great kick.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

19 minutes. The AIG's 10 vs The Men in Gold 6.

Cruden kicks a penalty

 

[Bardon]

Wobs have bossed the game since the ABs try but they've only scored 3 more points in that period, a bit worrying. Still there's plenty of time for them to claw this back.

Do not let the facts get in the way of perpetuating a myth.

He does look dangerous with the ball in hand but is wasting his time with any dummy.

Feels like a heavy weight fight going punch for punch at the moment.

 

[louie]

Bit worried at the slow ball the wobs are getting. Forwards need to hit breakdown harder and faster. Loved that break by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Mortlock like!

That's why the AB's are so good. We can lose in the possession stats every game but when we do have it, we capitalize.

Moore getting some vaseline on his head- lubrication to slip tackles?

23 minutes Men in Gold 9 The AIG 10

LiLo kicks another PK to keep the Wobs in touch.

 

[Bardon]

Some of the Wobs passing in the backline there looked like pass the parcel. Thought they did well to work that penalty.

Especially Genia who got the ball out quickly twice when it looked like the ABs might turn it over.

 

[No4918]

Less kicking for territory than expected by the Wobs

 

[Bullrush]

Anyone still think Hooper shouldn't be there?? Or on the bench?

 

[ACR]

This bloody scrum..

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Joubers - Congratulations. First penalty for not in straight at scrum time.


Bring it on referees.

Lets have a proper contest at scrum time.

 

[redstragic]

I got no fuckin idea what is happening in the scrums.

 

[Bardon]

Some sloppy hands around the breakdown again from the Wobs. Definitely an area they can improve on.

 

[No4918]

Anyone still think Hooper shouldn't be there?? Or on the bench?

Definitely there as much for his running as breakdown work. Not sure who thought he should not be in the 23.
