Good call that was awesome. The pass to create the break was sick

Interesting that one can accurately gauge the strength of the teams bench in the perfectly normal situation of a 30 point lead.

Can't coach talent out of players
Bingo. The experience of the current crop is still core to their ability to win. Absorb all the pressure, wait for the turnover, and goneski.
Of course, this isn't tactics, and nor should it be. Relying on opposition errors works up to a point (RWC2019).

Makes me chuckle. "Fuck yeah Wallabies, they're up by 4 tries and emptying their bench. NOW we strike!"

A lot of things appeared to go right in that Retallick try.
Firstly Oz defensive alignment out wide was off as we had more attacking players than defenders.
When we swung the ball to R Ioane there was cover for him and I’d say the Wallabies would’ve thought that 9 times out of 10 he is running with it.
R Ioane doesn’t run but makes the excellent cut out flat pass to a bigger body A Ioane who is running on. The Oz defender is caught in two minds and is basically stuffed just leaving one Oz defender to cover. We have DMac and Jordan running in motion and only single coverage from Oz (their halfback who in my view rightly picked to cover Jordan hoping his teammates would recover infield.
Three other All Blacks join the attack in support and we basically create a 6 on 3 scenario.
A Ioane makes the right pass inside to DMac and then DMac in a split second gets the ball off to Retallick in support. There was another 2 players in support should Retallick have needed it.
An excellent try.

@crazy-horse Stan has no pub/club deal available yet AFAIK. So yeah, technically a pub streaming it is breaching the user agreement.
So pubs can't play free to air TV channels?
They can. The ads are a bad look IMHO.
The sooner they sort that out, the better. Good thing in Sydney we'll be locked down until the Spring Tours
So we're away for the night (in Poowoomba) and coukd get 'smart' TV to stream anything, so had to watch on Nein Gem. Bloody ads.

I would dump McLeod any day of the week though. Our defensive structure is poor.
He’s not keeping up with current trends. Like getting a “team physio” to call defensive plays from behind the line. Just see the recent Lions series.

Weathers good, crowd small so far
Two from two.
Crowded won't be big. NZRU should look at themselves
Crowd was ok in the end I thought.

Why show up when you know what the outcome will be?
"Uh... another Bledisloe? Chuck it on the pile with the rest"

He read that well. Telegraphed pass to a backline too flat.
Like a book apparently

At first I thought we were back on the old covid "pipe in the crowd noise track from World Class Rugby PC Game"

The crowd was having a lot of fun, and it was loud. Even the rain didn’t dampen the spirits, was going off at times. Comedy wave felt like it went 20 times around.
May have only been 25,000 there but it was the right 25,000 for good atmosphere.
Some great play to enjoy, and not sure if was obvious on TV but the Aussie focus was on off the ball bullshit. So much holding back and facials in rucks, lots of arguments between players. Dunno if they were doing the Rennie normal negative tactics , but it didn’t help their focus. Hooper lost the plot.

Angus Ta’avao upped him scrum game too.
Can't see Bower starting much more. Is de Groot up to it at scrum time? Wasn't impressed in Super Rugby, pulled back a lot.
Karl was huge when he came on, was into everything
