Wallabies v All Blacks, Saturday 19th August, ANZ Stadium Sydney

[Shiggins]

geez I feel for Rona. Never played wing in professional rugby (?) and it showed.

Yeh it wasn't great. Running into contact higha and defence wasn't great either. But he is definately a great player

He looked a lot better when Kerevi was hooked. So did Beale.
People talking about Kerevi as a leader- maybe he is but you can't put him and Beale side by side.
I think we need to find out what Meakes has got at this level - not next week but soon.

Hooper - "yeah we unraveled a bit in that first half" - ya thunk?

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

When Quade, Genia, Gill, Higgenbotham play as terribly as their NSW counterparts they get torn apart.

Yeah, no-one ever complains about Waratahs players. /s

The second half "comeback" will be used to excuse the limp effort, just woeful defence, so many rush up defenders do nothing.

What has Grey done in the last 2 years in any team he has been with? What has changed from the side that had such a good defence in 2015?

On attack the Wallabies don't do much, they grind away they pass the ball around and go nowhere fast. Contrast a really professional team that actually can execute skills the ABs go FORWARD with every phase, instead of sideways or backwards.

Scrum and lineout were solid.
34 points against the ABs is enough to win.
Not all is lost

 

[Istanbul]

Chekia is on drugs "nah not done and dusted at half time" no halftime spray, courage was shown, no lack of physicality, good to score that many points - wow just wow...

LOL

Here we go.

Beale walks back into the team with motm performance. Shows how much we are missing overseas.

He must see himself as the offensive co-ordinator

Kurtley Beale Wallabies best. FFS, like anybody should be given an award for that.

As for John Eales, just F%$# off, ARU board member you've done plenty for the game in recent years.

I think it shows how soft our super set up is.
Everyone says how much he's grown up.
Then you have Meakes comes back and is really pressing for a spot he never got a look at before.
Maybe the whole squad needs to go to Europe to harden up a bit.

I've never seen Liam Gill play a bad game.

Chekia's press conference reminded me of that Iraqi fella telling the media All was good while the tanks rolled in behind him

My apologies for trying to find a few positives amongst a pretty awful night.
Feel free to carry on bitching and moaning about skills, the ARU, Cheika or whatever takes your fancy.

 

[The Red Baron]

Yeah just piss the ref off further. That's smart.

I don't think so. I think it's more than reasonable, especially if it is a cardable offense.

 

[Istanbul]

Hansen seems more down on the ABs second half than Chekia was at the Wallabies overall performance- says it all really...

Kerevi shouldn't be anywhere near a gold jersey again this season until he learns how to defend. Hell I'd even put an untested Hodge at 13 before him.

Clearly, you don't know how to read a situation. He was pissed and Phipps is dick whose done this before.

SoJ please don't try and turn this into some parochial shite. I think there is a general derision of everyone in this side tonight.

Some very forthright Tahs posters have been very noticeable by their absence though. Still, after some time to think of some alternative facts they will be here tomorrow saying it's all the fault of the players and the other four franchise coaches.
