Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)

[rotated]

I won't ask at what point will the media and fans turn on Cheika, because it's too early yet. But at least when will they start to admit perhaps he isn't the dawn of a new era an no better (and likely worse) than McKensie and Deans.

<p>Actually I think BB IS playing as an impact player, only for 80 minutes..</p>

[Tim]

<p>Well this is better than watching Auckland. :)</p>

BB set Naholo up after slicing through the line too

<p>So what can Cheika do to make it more competitive? Lacking an abrasive tight forward or two IMO and they have to shut Read and BB down.</p>

<p>Too late - Read has been playing like this for two or three seasons now. More - I first saw him running with this confidence and purpose against France in New Zealand in 2009.</p>

<p>Lessons in discipline, structure - but most of all lessons as to why you should not select players plying their trade overseas....</p>

Wow what a half all blacks!!

[ACT Crusader]

Damn that biased selecting.

[No Quarter]

Barrett's form is out of this world. Every time he gets the ball you can see panic in the defense, Wallabies cannot drift at all and it's creating acres of space for those outside him.

<p>Too early for Aussie media to get all thresher shark on one of their own? Ha ha!</p>

Serves them right for picking the Pooper midgets.<br><br>
(I assume Bono is playing? Is he?)

[hydro11]

<p>Aussies are just getting outmuscled. I don't know what they can do to turn around in the second half.</p>

[Frank]

<p>How long does it take to recover from a torn hamstring?</p>

Next year I think. They not rushing him.

<p>Wallabies might run out of backs. This could get ugly (if it isn't already).</p>

<p>Golden oldies backlines?</p>

[Billy Tell]

Hopefully Naholo hasn't broken his leg. Again.

[ACT Crusader]

The grunt men doing the business - Whitelock, Kaino, Crockett, Coles. Hell even Franks is getting over the gain line

[Mokey]

<p>Lol. Apparently on Twitter people are calling the Wallabies to be replaced by the Aussie women's sevens side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe not a dumb idea.</p>

Can't be too far away now . He's on a four match losing streak and was almost bundled out of the rwc in the quarters but was saved by a brain fart from the jocks .

Green and Mustards looking a game of three halves short of a gallop?!
