New Zealand vs Australia - Bledisloe 2, 24th August 2013

[AngrySeahorse]

JOC (James O'Connor) has done well under the high ball.

 

[Slim 293]

Argh........ Inside runners.......... Please.........

 

[Ash]

Mogg needed to straigten. Argh.

 

[biggsy]

Cooper hasn't exactly shone since he's been on.

 

[crangs81]

Almost makes the trip to Dunedin a waste of time then....

 

[Slim 293]

To'omua and Mogg have played there last game for the wallabies for awhile

Nah, To'omua played well......... One of our best tonight.........

Mogg unfortunately hot and cold.........

 

[Ash]

Well, the All Blacks were the better team and deserved to win.

Peyper having an absolute shocker just makes it harder.

Peyper can get fucked. COmplete fool, I dont even know how hes allowed to referee these high level matches.

Australia nowhere near the ABs. Like watching the 15As vs the first XV at school bo level or something.

Bingo!

 

[Chunderstruck]

Almost makes the trip to Dunedin a waste of time then..

All teams should just bow in front of NZ and kiss McCaw's foot for 80 min instead of playing

 

[cyclopath]

Bledisloe gone again, well done ABs. Wallabies hapless, despite the efforts of Peyper-Pig, who was execrable. Not even close. Basics lacking.
Defence - poor
Scrum - poor
Kicking - poor

 

[Slim 293]

Our forwards are still getting beaten up front and we fail to clean out efficiently on our own ball..........

Genia needs to quit dropping to play fullback.......

Mogg has his obvious flaws but at least he caught the ball every time........

 

[Scoey]

Australia nowhere near the ABs. Like watching the 15As vs the first XV at school bo level or something.

Yeah but I think it would be good to see how close we are in a fair contest. Take nothing from the AB's they are fucking incredible and will give you nothing but man..... What if

Not a single caution in the match - was there? That means all the backrowers should be dropped as they obviously weren't close enough to that fine line

Not a single fucking one.

 

[biggsy]

YES, Channel 9... Australian' Got Talent is on

 

[boyo]

Australia gifted possession to NZ a few times from scrum and ruck.

Not good enough.

 

[lewisr]

WOuldve been interesting if we'd scored that first try. Wouldve been interesting if Nonu had been Yellow'd. Would've been interesting if those knock ons were picked up. All what ifs but they are the better team. I hope he gets grilled for that shocker of a game.

 

[jollyswagman]

The booing of QC (Quade Cooper) is almost as obnoxious as the continual reference to Genia as "the world's best." I guess once you earn a certain label you have it by default for the following few years. Seriously, can we please give White some proper game time?

 

[The Red Baron]

Well, the Wallabies are clearly still a work in progress. The All Blacks absorbed the pressure and picked their moments well. It didn't help that we made some really stupid mistakes.

Peype had a rubbish game, but we should have adapted to that.

I would be putting Folau at fullback, and I would consider benching Genia. His service has been poor, and it would do him good to have a rocket up him. To'omua was much better, and actually varied his attack a bit. Fardy and Mowen had good games I thought.

We still lack consistency, but I saw improvement on last week.
