The Wallabies scored better tries than us, tries based on a solid buildup. We still score long range strikes
You still don't score long range tries, too. Throw in 3 fucked up opportunities through poor handling and that game wasn't even close.

Switch Clarke for Reece and maybe we don't botch those tries

Nah I’m sorry but that’s fucked. First and only time I’ve ever seen that call, and it’s in the 79th minute of a Bledisloe. Just absolute horse shit.
Take the win NZ. But it’s hardly a famous victory.
What was the ref supposed to do? Just wait for the hooter for the next minute?
Player has to take responsibility.
Blow time off. That’s what he does, and it’s what every ref has done in that situation.
Or just let Foley kick the ball three seconds later and not make the game about him.
But he made a call I’ve literally never seen before. On the back of an incredibly dubious penalty for sealing off.
he had blown time off.. then he blew it back on told him to get on with it. and he still fucked around
I just rewatched. The ref did more than that and was being fair. He blew time off and said “I will blow time on and you play immediately “ Then Foley just took the piss. That’s disrespectful of the ref and, although it probably didn’t deserve being the losing of the match it deserved being turned over.
The delay on the kick was 30 seconds with time on. When there’s a minute 30 to play that could be the difference of setting a scrum from a lineout knock on.
As for those crying about the sealing off penalty, the turnover penalty before the non kick was much worse. The player that won the penalty did so from his knees. -

In posting this meme, I will consider that you did win the game, but also that you're stuck with Foster as a coach.
So let me say:

Reado says our ruck stats were poor, just really disjointed. That's because we don't try to rumble it up. Too much helter skelter wide stuff again
ABs had pure dominance early on. I think the players went off script because the Wallabies were being over-run. ABs need to stay disciplined and stick to the script. Losing Cane would have affected that, but the remaining leaders did not lead well.
By early on you mean first 5 to 10 minutes? We were dominated most of the rest
Which game were you watching?
Could have been the one where it was 10-10 at halftime.
With 15 ABs vs 13 Wallabies
That's the concern for AB fans: "we scraped that against 14 or even 13 guys for periods, and butchered a shedload of tryscoring opportunities under zero pressure"
Must’ve been all the prepping for wet weather rugby.
Oh hello roof.

Hoping to see Jordie at 12 next week and Sevu Reece for Clarke. Maybe Beaudie goes to 15?
Also hoping to see Luke Jacobson in the mix with his strength in the close exchanges, especially if Cane not available. Thought we missed that no-nonsense edge tonight. -
Well my wife was fucking fuming after that which was highly entertaining, so I have to thank the frenchy and Foley for that

An Australian mate reckons you have 1 minute after a penalty to kick - is that a thing?
That's kicking for goal.
Unless your Aussie mate is a die hard rugby fan then chances are they're clueless about rugby laws.
Look, even if they are ...

Are Oz getting a bit of a reputation? White with his diving antics against SA, Koroibete with his non-functioning arms and now Foley getting done for time wasting?
NZ in recent years got a reputation for dumb play/actions that have resulted in a lot of YCs and RCs when compared to their peers. Oz now getting sanctioned for stupidity.
