All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.

@antipodean what old Crusty saying? When you get reamed by 27 points you'd have to have Winger strength cognitive issues to think you'd been robbed.

@antipodean was a cartoon of cheika dressed as a clown front page of the sports page, think it said bring on the clowns

@taniwharugby but this is what I don't get... why can't a support player change his line from inside to outside? He's in front of the defender.
-
@reprobate he wasnt he was beside him and changed his line. if he was in front I agree.

Internet is erupting with outraged Wallabies fans. Spittle flying everywhere, but it was stupid from DHP because it was so unnecessary - Julian wasn't going to catch Speight.
-
@taniwharugby I see him as marginally in front - at absolute worst even and jostling for position - and irrelevant to play anyway as there was no catching him. I think it's a shit call, and i would be furious if it were against my team.
-
@reprobate whether Julian woulda got him or not is irrelevant, hecwas in a position to attempt and was denied by a dumb pointless move by dhp.
Oh and I'd be furious too if we were on the end of that...but IMO still correct in the rule book

I'm sure he sends sternly worded emails to The Daily Telegraph and Fox every time they portray their opponents as anything other than brilliant.

First question for Cheika in the presser is about the no-try. His response - and I'm paraphrasing:
"I dunno. Obviously I can't say anything because they've got you by the throat. Never seen shepherding from behind before... but
Before all that though we've got to own our mistakes. We turned ball over too much, played a lot of rugby, and know NZ are good on counterattack. We turn it over and allow them score so that's the first thing before we speak about turning points and all that business.
And we can only call it a turning point if we lose by less than a score perhaps. I know there are ramifications for the game [if we score]. And someone has to own those mistakes as well so we'll see if World Rugby come out with an announcement."
Its on the All Blacks Facebook "Live" video list.

I think the try should have be given. Full stop. Period. Some more full stops to make my point understood but.....if the Oz winger hadn't (needlessly) stuck his hand out and looked like he tried to grab J Savea them we wouldn't be having the argument. But he did and "no try" is the result.

TKB has the passing accuracy of A Smith and the strength of TJP in heavy traffic. Was a good addition I thought, his crisp service helped us open the game up at the end.
This is the same guy that threw a no look pass that would have been an Aus try if we didn't have a turbo hooker?
What exactly are you disagreeing with him on? That was an obvious fuck up but it doesn't change the fact that his delivery was a dramatic improvement on TJP's crap passing.
That's it let it out.

If you want to look at the Laws, Savea grabbed DHP's shirt first as he turned to chase. First offence, play advantage, try awarded

It was an act of real stupidity from DHP. I doubt Savea would have caught him, but DHP invited the TMO decision. He is the one that Cheika should be most pissed at.

Unsung AB sub for me Is Wyatt Crockett - he's become mR dependable these days - doesn't get as much credit as he deserves for jhis work at ruck and in the linking as well
Hell yes. Crockett was the man when he game on. Smashed a few wobblies, just dominated. Him and Faumuina made a huge difference.

@taniwharugby said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
@dingo i wouldn't of had any complaints if it had been awarded and I am not fussed it wasn't.
It was a bit more than sticking an arm out though...the arm one was in the coles non try.
And I said at the time of Coles non try, I think that was Nigel going WTF, and thinking I'll cancel out what I think should have been a try with another try that should be but....yeah, nah.

Oooh... One of the questions for Cheika was "do you have any comment about what they've achieved with 18 wins in a row?"
Response:
"Oh mate I don't really think they want my comment. They dressed us up as clowns today so they wouldn't really want our comment. I don't think they'd respect our comment anyway, so we won't make one"
Another reporter: "what do you mean they dressed you up as clowns?"
Cheika: "It was on the front page of the paper, bro. So I won't bother making a comment" -- bit more comment here, before losing his line a little before another reporter (kiwi) asks: "Reading between the lines, do you take that as a mark of disrespect?"
Cheika starts to respond, Moore cuts in
"Yeah mate, I do. Abosolutely"Then some other reporters want to hunt that line down with Moore. He didn't want much of it, but seemed pretty offended that the Wallaby jersey - and all those who pulled it on - were basically slighted by that.
