Bledisloe 1 - Wallabies vs All Blacks, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, 8:05pm

[HoldingOn]

Is there a single Wallaby player who has not completely sucked thus far? Can't think of one. Structure is all at sea. Defence has more holes than Ryan Lochte's story. Set pieces are appalling. Hmmmm. I can honestly say I have never seen a worse 40 minutes by the Wallabies.

The next 40 mins might be..

I love how every year there is renewed hope for the Wallabies, and renewed disappointment. Its gonna taken years if not decades to weed out the current no hopers and discover some fighters.

Yet we import dad's army from Europe (all of whom have been perennial losers against the ABs) because they've supposedly got invaluable experience that we just can't get anywhere else. Giteau's sole contribution tonight was failing to kick the ball out. Surely we have some younger guys that can fuck up the kicking?

 

[I like to watch]

It's pretty obvious we didn't plant the listening device....

Should have got Suzie to help out with room service instead.

Even the uber optimist John Eales sounds all "wtf is going on out there?"

 

[Sully]

I'm happy to talk about Cheika and Larkham's position at the wallabies. They knew what was coming and had plenty of time to prepare. He chose the wrong flyhalf for a territory game and continues to pick a unbalanced back row and players out of form.

 

[Istanbul]

How unlucky that half our backline is injured and none of them are Foley!

 

[Lorenzo]

This is not about nz being super awesome.

This is about the utter shite that the Australian players are dishing up. The execution of these players is ridiculously poor. It's not the coach.

At what point do these "professional athletes" take some ownership and do some fucking homework on their skills.

I disagree. For example, Foley was never the man to implement a tactical kicking game because his kicking is awful in every respect, which has been centre-stage tonight. Sorry, but that is on the coach.

So far, 18 of them. Only 5 have a chance to escape that label.

Seriously,after that 40 mins, the guy you want to spray,was replaced after 10 minutes?

Pretty sucky to wish injury on a player, muppet. No matter how badly they're playing. Pull your head in.

We've reached peak insanity...........

 

[CatchnPass]

I'm not willing to accept that. When an entire team is playing like shit that is a coach issue. The same Wallabies team performed far better in the same test last year.

I don't expect the Wallabies to win, but this is disgraceful.

Cheika not missing the tackles, kicking mindlessly and failing in the basics, the players are.

My post was in response to the idea of clearing house. I was just pointing out that we are doing everything but.

 

[Strewthcobber]

First bloody play and its another bloody kick straight to their back 3 and they have the ball in our half against an unset defensive line.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Tell me again how the Wallabies lineout isn't a weakness, it's a fucken joke, don't blame the players, Cheika selected 3 jumpers against an opposition with 4 jumpers and arguably the best defensive lineout in the world.. This was always going happen

You're right about the selections, but the caller also has to shoulder the blame. He called Hooper ffs.

 

[The torpedo]

If we need a new coach, we should hire Kimi Raikkonen.

after all..........

Beauden Barrett macking me hate him more. But I can't, have rugby crush on this bloke.

 

[Chunderstruck]

Boomers flopping and now this mess. Been a tough couple weeks for all our flops and chokers in the olympics. We need to start investing in modern pentathlon and shooting to base our national pride.

At least the cricket team did us proud!
