Watching Aussie players celebrating scoring trys while being pumped for a record score really sums up where they are at.

Yeah moral victories are awesome, when I get home from the pub I'm going to have moral sex.

I saw a comedian once who referred to it as Men's horlicks

From Fox Twitter:

Total Tries (12) & Points (88) are both #BledisloeCup records.

Previously 11 tries (1936) & 77 points (2010) #AUSvNZL

That was a team that lost to Scotland

At home

That put 30 plus points on us .

It wasn't the starters easing off. The reserves simply weren't doing the job and as per the Third Test against the Lions, couldn't maintain pressure.

TJP was poor again - he's like a puppy that pisses itself from excitement. DMac was a nightmare at fullback with his errors and individualism.

Charlie F...please come back.

We lost a heap of backline structure when A Smith and Crotty went off. Didn't help that SBW was seeing tweety birds, either.

Derm McCrum

Well that was......

Stargazer

Strange. I didn't think TJ was that poor. He was one of the few bench players who IMO made a good effort of trying to stop the Wallabies getting back into the game.

I like ALB as a player, but we seem to lose our shape when Crotty isn't on the field. He copped a nasty tackle from behind right in the lower back region.

His defence was okay, but his attack and game control was worst than normal. It was very poor.

@antipodean yes TJ just needs to chill. That pass that DMac gave just after Kieron Reads big talk was symptomatic of 2nd half. Piss poor.

Hate is a strong word but not strong enough for Nick Phipps.

I hope they'll give Havili a run at fullback at some point (when he has been in camp with the ABs longer). I'm keen to find out whether he is a good option in the 15 jersey.

You leave the mighty Scots out of this

Anyway Bledisloe #2 starts in about 3 hours...

@akan004 not sure about either of our reserve prop options.

Could't agree more, can't stand the guy.

Yep - a good a summary as any. Kazakhstan would have scored a couple against that defence in the first half.
