All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.

@broughie who gets dropped for Akira?
I think he is quite a way off being test ready.
I just scanned through the game as I recall a head butt from Hooper, anything come from it?

How much of a victim is Cheika?!?!
He is the Winger of Aussie rugby. Everything is a conspiracy.
I feel a bit sorry for him that he has a train of thought like that. He must be a very simple person
I think he belongs in the same catagory as Woodward, just an absolutely phenomenal lack of self awareness .
-
@taniwharugby I dont care. I see so much upside that Squire, Todd nor Dixon don't have. Personality flaw or not. Bring him in because he can be developed into something Kainoish and more.

Check the ~52:36 mark of actual game time, 18:40 on the YouTube clip and watch Retallick cop an elbow to the head from Dean Mumm...
We thought he was knocked out at the bar, and wondered if he'd copped a whack then...

Didn't look forward to me
Didn't look forward to Veldsman either.
I forgot that one.
Change my previous post to "Three TMO decisions. First one right. Second and third wrong ... "

It was pretty tame but still, I have seen that get carded before. Crotty also got a hefty kick to the face at one point that may not have been deliberate but was 'deliberately reckless'. A swinging leg toward the head of a player near the ball.

@NTA maybe it is an act designed to shield his players; I'm not convinced
Well, the Kiwi journalists were lapping it up, based on what they were asking during the AB presser.
So the talk on this side of the ditch will be about the no-try. And the positives, maybe.
Over your way I'm sure the NZH or stuff already have something up about DUSRISPICT!!! Followed by half a dozen pages of ejaculations regarding world records etc and whether it will stop at 25 (to take out those pesky Cypriots once and for all), or get to triple figures.
Cool. An accent joke. That's new and refreshing.

Did you see my post regards Mumm elbows Retallick about 52.40. There was a few niggly off the ball things, equally I took delete in Coles smacking Mumms head into the turf after tackling that mutant giraffe.

Read choosing to kick the ball out at the end is one of the strangest decisions I have seen from this AB team.
Game won. Record achieved. Tour coming up. Why bother?
Also I thought Nige had his arm up for our scrum? What happened after that? The family got home at that point.
He stuck the wrong arm up. Said so. Apologised for confusion.

I'm always at a loss that no one in the Wallabies camp has manned up and told Mumm that when you have such a dopey looking visage, acting the tough guy just makes you look like the local 'tard with behavioural issues.

They never get old , we have a lot of sheep here in NZ . I would have thought there would have a lot of scope there for bestiality jokes . Anyone?

@reprobate whether Julian woulda got him or not is irrelevant, hecwas in a position to attempt and was denied by a dumb pointless move by dhp.
Oh and I'd be furious too if we were on the end of that...but IMO still correct in the rule book
If you want to look at the Laws, Savea grabbed DHP's shirt first as he turned to chase. First offence, play advantage, try awarded
Nice try. Two offences. First offence (if indeed it did occur). Penalty Wobs.

"Look like"?

@broughie thing is, the selectors seem to have a pretty good grasp on the right time to introduce new players, so if they think he is ready, then he'll be on tour, but I just dont know who they will drop to make room for him, or believe he is ready.

@NTA said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
Oooh... One of the questions for Cheika was "do you have any comment about what they've achieved with 18 wins in a row?"
Response:
"Oh mate I don't really think they want my comment. They dressed us up as clowns today so they wouldn't really want our comment. I don't think they'd respect our comment anyway, so we won't make one"
Another reporter: "what do you mean they dressed you up as clowns?"
Cheika: "It was on the front page of the paper, bro. So I won't bother making a comment" -- bit more comment here, before losing his line a little before another reporter (kiwi) asks: "Reading between the lines, do you take that as a mark of disrespect?"
Cheika starts to respond, Moore cuts in
"Yeah mate, I do. Abosolutely"Then some other reporters want to hunt that line down with Moore. He didn't want much of it, but seemed pretty offended that the Wallaby jersey - and all those who pulled it on - were basically slighted by that.
Two words.
Richety.
Grub.Suck it up Clownface.

I was sitting right on that sideline and Savea had 20 metres or so to catch him, he was almost up to him when he got bumped. Both disallowed tries could have gone either way but I was OK with both decisions but it could have easily gone the other way
Was going to be a very close race. The replay only has a couple of steps before DHP got involved, so its hard to judge who was gaining or losing ground. I'd back Speight's pace from there, or an offload to DHP.
But he wasn't given the chance
-
I think we should be a little bit fair here and hold off on Nick until he finally gives up pestering the missus for a Sunday morning wake up prod and sulks off to the computer.
I am assuming that the gloom in convict land hasn't taken away his power source? -
@booboo said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:

Maybe he could have taken the chance instead of waving his arms at the ref? A bit hypocritical given he'd just had a go at obstructing DHP in the first place.
-
@NTA said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
@rotated 6 of the 8 minutes? Really? I wasn't writing down a blow by blow.
He spent some of the time saying how fantastically the ABs were performing, and how the Wallabies had to own their own mistakes, as them talked about the no-try incident. Seems that he'd have trouble squeezing all that info two minutes, while letting Moore speak as well
Difficult to believe he means that stuff when he spends so much time on the contradictory stuff.

@Stockcar86 said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
That is shit from the Herald. Really shit. Moore had every right to be pissed off.
