    @ACT-Crusader Especially if others are passing from the breakdown. I just thought it was interesting how in half the time, Smith was able to go well past the amount of passes.

    The possession thing can be flipped over to defence, which Christie gets praise for - yet he was only tackling at half the rate Smith was 😉

    @sparky Good call although the pedant in me wants to point out it was 1994 not 93.

    Watching the first 20 minutes again. Scrum penalty against Williams was bullshit (Australia pulling back), and Canes missed tackle at 6min was a shocker.

    McKenzie gets a zero for effort on that missed tackle that cost Hoopers try.

    All three frontrowers missed tackles on Bell at about 9:20 in. Remarkably poor.

    At 12:30, that knock down by the Austrlian looked to be at least a penalty. There was a 3 on one overlap.

    @Tim Petaia? I thought that on first viewing, but seems the ref thought it was a genuine attempt.

    @Bones He had to really stretch/dive to attempt it, and never had the ability to get a hand in a realistic position to catch it.

    The scrum penalty at 17:00 was absolute bullshit, Bell folded passively. Awful refereeing. No English refs please.

    @Tim said in All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II:

    If the ref can't spot that, is it then poor from the opposite prop though? Surely a prop renowned for his work at scrum time shouldn't have his oppo get one over him that easy.

    @Bones Bizarrely, it was called by the linesman, and was fucking blatant!

    Nothing Laulala can do when his opposite just pulls out of contact.

    Opening 20: Forwards except for Finau, Whitelock, and Savea were awful. Backline awful. The defensive combination of McKenzie, Lienert-Brown, and Ennor is diabolical. Passive and weak.

    Great double team tackle from Cane and someone else 25 mins in. First really dominant tackle from ABs.

    Wow, they actually got worse. Awful 8 minutes of play until Savea saves McDermott's try (aside from the turnover).

    Shite exit at 30:17 - Christie should have box kicked.

    No fan of Vaa'i's work around the field, but he is a good lineout jumper.

    Fainga'anuku really out of position during the kicking exchange in the 35th minute. The ball was in play was down the right hand side. Ends up costing a 50/22 on his side.
