Bledisloe II

@jegga I was playing (must have been 15 or so) at Ti Atiawa park when a game on another field (younger kids from memory) was stopped and the copter came in. We had to move fields and I don't know if I ever found out who the kid was. We'd heard it happened in a ruck and the kid got pinned and twisted or something, we thought it was a back injury I think.
Far out, that was well back in the day!

I’d suggest carrying the weight of the world around us probably more responsible for his aches and pains
This happens to pretty much every player reaching in to steal the ball. It happens to Pocock all the time because that's all he farking does. It's quite indicative of the type of player he is that he stands out every time we pump them. In other words when getting hammered he's good at getting his team a little less hammered. Awesome, he made 5 turnovers in a 40 point loss! God forbid he actually make an effective hit up and do something with the ball. Or win a line out.
Where did you see his stats? I saw he’d made a pitiful amount of ground at one stage then he made a run a few minutes later but it was all sideways.

He made a decent run early in Bled1 which was probably more metres than he'll run for the entire RC.

Yeah recall seeing late in the game that he had made 4 runs for a grand total of 5 meters. I make it further when I roll out of bed in the weekend.
Turnovers were only 2 as well -

Turnovers were only 2 as wellBest player in the world! He's ineffective at every aspect of the game other than turnovers and he doesn't get enough of those in a manner that his team can really benefit from. How many of his turnovers immediately lead to a counter attack?
He's just as dirty and niggly as other players, and whinges to the ref. On more than one occasion I've seen Hooper tell him to shut up.
Whenever I meet someone who proclaims him to be the best player in the world, or would walk into the All Blacks, I immediately recognise the person I'm talking to knows nothing about rugby.

Yeah at who's expense? Reads not exactly a bad no 8

Made me laugh when he pointed out to the ref that Squire was ‘out cold’ early in the game. The comms wanked on that he’s a fine person with amazing sportsman ship qualities. Fuck off he just wanted Squire off the field to do and probably fail a HIA

Cane maybe if you're on crack.

The more i watch Barrett's fourth try (it's ridiculous even typing that by the way) the more i think it's going to take some catching as try of the year.

His 1st fourth try or 2nd fourth try? (5th try)

@mariner4life yep, from the wide angle you thought those 2 coming toward one another had him, but the little fend and he was gone...pure unadulterated speed

I'm not going to post the link but I read what the Walrus had to say about this game. He was very complimentary but probably wrote that through gritted teeth. The most amusing part, which he acknowledges, is that the scores in Bled I and II does put the Irish series win into context. The NH scribes won't be able to criticise the Wallabies too much without diminshing that achievement.

@taniwharugby are we talking about the same try?

Not sure he is but to be fair B.B scored around 11 tries during the game.

My favourite was his legit 3rd try. Hooper was in no man's land.

Just terrible defence from the Wallabies. Why on earth you'd rush out of your defensive line like that as captain, leaving a massive hole for Beaudy to run through is mystifying.
Same as Squires' try - simple lack of communication leaving Squire unmarked. Peach of a pass but.
