Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

[chimoaus]

@mariner4life they got a few tries from set piece which were excellent. Our set piece went well, yes JG missed a tackle but it happens. The ABs overall kicking game was very good finding space. BB chip for Mounga shows some good game IQ. A Smith delivery was excellent and they won by a record margin. Yes the Wallabies were shit and yes after half time we struggled a bit but I was very happy with the performance. Can we do better, of course but after Wellington I will take that performance every day of the week.

Try?

Either way is fucking annoying refs only look at one thing, not the defender sliding in, knees first. No try maybe, but otherwise yellows and penalty try

[mariner4life]

If I'm Dave rennie our first try is the one that pisses me off the most.

Decent but not outstanding maul, simple phase to the posts and then switch back. Same as every other team in the world does. And we have a 4 on 1 overlap? That's appalling

Communication breakdown I assume, whose job is it on D to ensure that doesn't happen? I guess the winger should be yelling, the pillar at the ruck should be yelling and the 15 should see it early you would think.

It was still a sweet pass from Smith to execute and take advantage of the overlap, that Karl T almost stuffed mind you.

I think we are still in building mode. Three tests in and we are basically relying on our defence as combinations build, particularly in the backs.

This house is taking a fucken long time to build

@chimoaus I hear the basement of that house is complete and a couple of large kegs of dry powder have been found therein

Fuck Patty had a big night 0 Tackles, 2 ball carries for 3 metres gained. Fuck look at Whitelock, 3 turnovers and 13 ball carries.

[Machpants]

@chimoaus just beaten by beaudy ones run of one metre

[chimoaus]

I see Daugunu conceded 5 turnovers, conceded 2 penalties, yellow card and missed a tackle. That is about as bad a game as one can have.

@Daffy-Jaffy interesting. He speaks surprisingly well...

[Chris B.]

@ACT-Crusader Is it just me or is ESPN's Lineouts won stat pretty bloody meaningless?

Would be a bit more interesting if they credited the jumper.

ESPN count the thrower not the receiver, hence three ABs recorded a “lineout won” - Coles, Taylor, Mo’unga.

Agree with @Chris-B it’s a pretty useless stat
