Think that might be game lads.

Wheeling the scrum is a reset, not a 40m advantage

 

[ACR]

This fucking advantage

They need to rewrite the advantage rules, they're ridiculous.

 

[KOB1987]

Fuck

 

[Adam84]

rubbish result, how much fucken advantage are the all blacks offered

 

[rugbyAU]

yet another heartbreaker

 

[Wilson]

heartbreaking

 

[Namerican]

What

They need to rewrite the advantage rules, they're ridiculous.

What rules? It's whatever Joe Ref decides on any given Saturday.

 

[molman]

That's heartbreak after such a good first half.

 

[footy1>31]

tough last moment in a gold jersey but thanks for your service Quade

 

[LeCheese]

rubbish result, how much fucken advantage are the all blacks offered

17 points directly after long advantages.

no excuses, but fuck me

 

[Overtime]

The first half was just an apparition.

 

[KOB1987]

good to hear it from you. they handed the all blacks the game

 

[ACR]

Take your free 3 points in the first half Wallabies!!! 17 point lead is better than 14.

McDermott got held up over the line from a turned down 3.

 

[NoName]

Nic White endlessly giving the ball to New Zealand INSIDE our own territory.

Has been doing it for years.

I don't know what to say anymore. The officiating is bewildering. I've played this game for nearly my entire life. I've watched countless matches. I still have no idea, from one game to the next, what they are doing. I don't think they do either. There's no other sport like this where the refs constantly make shit up as they feel like it, game in and game out.

The advantage is often disproportionate to the offense. Too much tactically playing for penalties because of how much impact & benefit it has.

 

[Sam Old]

Damn. Almost had the dreaded Darkness there.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Can anyone offer a meaningful explanation of why the scrum went to pieces after 10 or 15 minutes in the second half? About the time McReight went off, but I refuse to accept his replacement being the reason. Must have been something else, and earlier than Nongorr coming on too. Pone finished off the ground and in the air on his last couple of scrums before being replaced.
