Bledisloe I

For fucks sake.
Im pretty fucking over rugby at the moment to be honest. To put 54 on the Wallabies in sydney and get the win but be pissed off afterward is just a weird feeling.
The reffing of the game at the moment is absolutely killing the game. That Wallabies try was one of the most obvious non tries i have seen in ages. The pass was 1m forward and then a clear offside the angle they made the call on was totally wrong.
Then the non try for BB. The front angle clearly showed BBs hand on the ball first yet they look at some far off angle from behind and the consistency of clear and obvious being required to disallow the try is out the window.Fuck Barnes.
ABs bench sucked arse.
We need to find a new 3rd hooker and a replacement for Ofa.
TJP was shit again. Has reverted to the old TJ. WTF was that quick lineout? Stupid.DMac mixed really good with the shit. That is the problem with him.
Ioane, ASmith, Squire and Rettalick really good.
BB's goal kicking very good.Oh and a big fuck you to the Clown. What sort of professional sits in the coaches box swearing his head off at every ref call, even when it goes his way.
When is he going to get called on his pathetic record as wallabies coach? -

Well that was......
Move along, nothing to see here
Yep - a good a summary as any. Kazakhstan would have scored a couple against that defence in the first half.
Shouldn't you be googling potato recipes or something?
Nah, did them last night in preparation for this morning's match.
They've gone cold.

Damien MacKenzie gets a 9
For the first half, and what did he rate him in the second 40?
The Aussies gave him a 9 for the second half
-
We did win the test!
There were 3 players I was interested in - Squire, DMac and Ofa T.
Squire was very good and used his extra speed in the wider channels while Read assumed the Kaino role closer in. Will Kaino return next week?
DMac also played well and looked a threat everytime he had the ball. OK, you could criticise him for that pass to TJP but there were much more experienced players who also threw shit passes. He made his tackles too, bar one.
Ofa T. Penalised on his first scrum and didn't offer much around the field. I don't think he's the answer, expecially at TH.

Interesting tweet...
"NZ outscored 2nd half in only 5 of 68 games from 2012-2016.
Now lost 2nd half in 3 consecutive matches. Last time that happened was 1996."1996 was a vintage year.

Hate is a strong word but not strong enough for Nick Phipps.
Even the Aussies seem to loathe the obnoxious little turd

Haha. McLean must've been on the turps and by halftime was too drunk to take notice of anything after that.
-
@Salacious-Crumb This test reminds me of the Bledisloe game in 97 in Dunedin. I think we were up by close to 40 at halftime and only won the game by about 10.

On what planet is that effort a nine? Was it his awful clearing bomb? Running away from support and retreating miles behind the advantage line to get caught or his excellent pass to Beale?
None of them deserved the scores they received. The Wallabies defense was dreadful and flattered us. Once Kuridrani was on for Kerevi they looked much better.
-
Pretty stunned after watching that - when did Wayne Barnes become a chilled referee? He was calm, trying to speed up play....when did that happen?
Scoreline was expected, ABs belt Aussie and spend the second half doing the equivalent of a training run. Whoever was starting centre for the Wallabies probably shouldn't be starting centre ever again.

Just got back from the game and watching the recording.
WTF, Reading this place you'd think that DMac had the worst AB performance since So'oialo at Rustenburg where at the ground he appeared to be involved in pretty much most of the good stuff in the first half.
Annoyingly you could tell the ABs had slacked off after the second of their second half tries. They fucked around in their own half for ages when they should have just kicked it downfield. Then after that they stopped building plays and just attacked individually.
Haven't got to the, ahem, interesting reffing decisions as yet on the recording, but seemed a bit suss at the ground.
Squire, Retallick, Rieko all had good games. DMac had a good game at the park, Crotty had a good game but not best on park, Smith was really good in that first half. Actually everyone had a good game in the first half ... less so in the second.
@Higgins I thought that was one of the worst anthem performances ever, I was wondering why they just used an Aussie and didn't get a Kiwi and then realised it was a Kiwi when watching the recording.
-
That was like watching the Waratah. They ship a stupid number of points and only start playing when the game is well and truly over.
I'll focus on the first 50 which was as close to perfection as you'd ever want to see. Yes the come down sucked but since when was it disappointing winning by 20 in Sydney.
I'm happy.
