All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.

I think our forward pack needs to bring more physicality. Iaone for the EOYT and lets put PT in that reserve pack and start blooding him. They were dominated for 50 minutes and that just can not happen. Had that try been awarded to Oz it may have been different. I think Speight was gone. It was just stupid of Petty to run the line he did. He didn't have to and it was an obvious deviation. While Todd did some good stuff he does not have the physical presence close to Cane and remember he was run through by the Aussie lock who scored. I think there were too many people creaming themselves about his performance. Our reserve props added more physicality than the starters. They stopped momentum instead of tackling and been carried back 5 to 10 yards. With TJP there was a bit of a delay in the pass. He was not shit though and with the bad you get the intangibles and the charge down an example. Plus he was doing plenty of tackling that the forwards were not.

PS. I see Foley walked back to take the kick and past Referee Owens, who explained he was looking at something further to do with the try. Foley throws his head back and says what sounds like "Oh fire-truck", which highlights a problem with the Qantas Harmless Wallabies. Owens had communicated politely and informatively and did not warrant that response.
They have no regard or respect for the authority of the referee, which is at the very least stupid, stupid, stupid. It's not as if they are the lords of the manor, strutting triumphantly, who can treat the hired help with disdain.
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about that rubs off from the coach.

Hansen's a fool.
And that would be because ... ?
He can't spell his own name?

Yes! to the Props being awesome
Without TJP in that first half, we would've been only up 10-7, and maybe down more, because he was into everything.
I think I almost prefer TJP if the game is going to be combative like that. I'm not sure Aaron Smith is the automatic walk-up start anymore. TJP combo with BB important too. -
@broughie who gets dropped for Akira?
I think he is quite a way off being test ready.
I just scanned through the game as I recall a head butt from Hooper, anything come from it?

How much of a victim is Cheika?!?!
He is the Winger of Aussie rugby. Everything is a conspiracy.
I feel a bit sorry for him that he has a train of thought like that. He must be a very simple person
I think he belongs in the same catagory as Woodward, just an absolutely phenomenal lack of self awareness .
-
@taniwharugby I dont care. I see so much upside that Squire, Todd nor Dixon don't have. Personality flaw or not. Bring him in because he can be developed into something Kainoish and more.

Check the ~52:36 mark of actual game time, 18:40 on the YouTube clip and watch Retallick cop an elbow to the head from Dean Mumm...
We thought he was knocked out at the bar, and wondered if he'd copped a whack then...

Didn't look forward to me
Didn't look forward to Veldsman either.
I forgot that one.
Change my previous post to "Three TMO decisions. First one right. Second and third wrong ... "

It was pretty tame but still, I have seen that get carded before. Crotty also got a hefty kick to the face at one point that may not have been deliberate but was 'deliberately reckless'. A swinging leg toward the head of a player near the ball.

@NTA maybe it is an act designed to shield his players; I'm not convinced
Well, the Kiwi journalists were lapping it up, based on what they were asking during the AB presser.
So the talk on this side of the ditch will be about the no-try. And the positives, maybe.
Over your way I'm sure the NZH or stuff already have something up about DUSRISPICT!!! Followed by half a dozen pages of ejaculations regarding world records etc and whether it will stop at 25 (to take out those pesky Cypriots once and for all), or get to triple figures.
Cool. An accent joke. That's new and refreshing.

Did you see my post regards Mumm elbows Retallick about 52.40. There was a few niggly off the ball things, equally I took delete in Coles smacking Mumms head into the turf after tackling that mutant giraffe.

Read choosing to kick the ball out at the end is one of the strangest decisions I have seen from this AB team.
Game won. Record achieved. Tour coming up. Why bother?
Also I thought Nige had his arm up for our scrum? What happened after that? The family got home at that point.
He stuck the wrong arm up. Said so. Apologised for confusion.

I'm always at a loss that no one in the Wallabies camp has manned up and told Mumm that when you have such a dopey looking visage, acting the tough guy just makes you look like the local 'tard with behavioural issues.

They never get old , we have a lot of sheep here in NZ . I would have thought there would have a lot of scope there for bestiality jokes . Anyone?

@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
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
Nice try. Two offences. First offence (if indeed it did occur). Penalty Wobs.

"Look like"?

@broughie thing is, the selectors seem to have a pretty good grasp on the right time to introduce new players, so if they think he is ready, then he'll be on tour, but I just dont know who they will drop to make room for him, or believe he is ready.
