Bledisloe #1

Steven Harris

In a case like this when you lose a player ,all you want to see is the guys fight for the entire 80 minutes ...definitely a wake up call..looking forward to the return battle at Eden Park...

Kirwan

Worst loss I can remember against Oz.

Yeetyaah

At least we had the Bledisloe for a record amount of time.

@Kirwan That is seriously scary. It's hard to remember when they last played such a terrible all round game to the point of screwing up the basics like ball retention and not kicking it away all the time. Add in shite discipline...and yeah.

We have played much worse games than this IMO. The win against Argentina was a worse performance for sure.

Poor, poor stupid Steve should've taken Ioane on tour last year and drilled him.

But but.. how would Akira ever manage to keep up with the ABs brilliant discipline such as Scott Barrett and Ardie?

Tim

Let's not forget how bad Australia are.

@Donsteppa Kevin Greene...

Well done Aussies. Hit hard and played well. Looking forward to the rematch.

1999 Homebush was worse.

Toddy

@Kirwan yeah, worse than 2011 one which was hard to watch

Billy Tell

That is a paddling.

The groans you can here is rattue coming.

Tim

@KiwiMurph Mate, he shoved a guy and upset TJ! That's why he can never be an All Black.

McLeod proving his worth once again.

So that’s who it is. Mid 2000 Chiefs with Kevin Schuler era Steamers game plans in the mix.

We lost this game in 2011 and 2015,

There was something more reassuring about those teams though

Victor Meldrew

Thank fcuk it was only a friendly

akan004

We lost to them by 21 in 1999 as well. We all know what happened later that year.

@booboo If we play like this at the WC we'll be lucky to make it out of our group.

Steady on

You have Italy as the 3rd best team in your Pool

Italians are a Tier 2 side

There is more chance of pigs flying than Italians beating ABs

Where did that come from? Best we've played in years.

We got the rub of the green, but we've had that before and still lost. Glad we made it count. Scored some lovely tries.

Bring on Eden Park.
