Who lit the fuse under Rieko? Bugger me that boy was on fire! Laulala.....shown previously why in ABs but tonight made his reputation.
Big shout to Wallabies though, no unnecessary niggle, just physical and really sharp on attack and defense. Genia MOM. -

That last try was sublime.
Much better effort from Australia but that first 20 from NZ was appalling.
Fuck Dmac and SBW right off.
I heart Laulala. The scrum was insane. Pity they did almost fark all with it.
SBW had a very poor game. But apart from his initial stupid pas DMac was good enough
But overall an excellent game. Thank god Aust stepped up.I was bored at HT last week. But with this game and the drawn Lions series
Perenara was superb when he came on. Made a big difference

I hope Sam Cane is OK. Glad that Dane made it through with no head knocks

Yeah, funny but tonight, a much, much better feeling that last week. Tonight was a friggen test match! Awesome!

Moody was owning Alaalatoa. He's your love interest.
What would you know about props?

BS. A team that loses after being 17 up can never be deemed to be unlucky.

Although we may get down on how we played let's not underestimate how well Australia played. Isn't this what we want!! We needed to adjust to the pressure they put us under. Thought squire had a blinder today, better than last week, also laulala. But how desperate Australia where and we still pulled it out. They needed to win this won!

Subs did not choke this time. That last try was S Barrett short ball to Read, to Perenara to B Barrett. Great combo like they had been playing together all game
Yeah it was a great no look pass from Scotty.
He came on for Squire.

Good on the wobs for coming to play but I can't help feeling like we did all we could to lose that. Did just enough, which showed mental fortitude but it shouldn't have been that close
AB fan syndrome.
If the opposition makes errors, it's because the ABs force them into it. If the ABs make errors, it's because they just played shit
Maybe, just maybe we forced you into a few errors and you eventually shook it off?

Firstly, good effort Wallabies. Turns out last week's first half effort was more of a fluke than the second half.
I was wondering about that - but, we were at home this week and struggled to win.
Secondly - fail on behalf of the AB coaches not to identify that. We spent quite a lot of this game playing like the result was a foregone conclusion and buried ourselves in a ditch for a while by not playing proper test rugby.
Thirdly - Man of the match - Nepo Laulala. If our scrum had been less dominant in that game, we would have been well beaten. Coles and Moody can take residual credit. No more of this Ofa bullshit, Hansen!!!
Fourthly - second man of the match, Rieko Ioane. Looked like an AB back out there, when several others didn't.
Fifthly - show some class Chieka. It's not fucking soccer!!!

He had a great game - contender for Wallabies' Man of the Match...

I do think ABs deserve criticism for not adapting though. Wallabies for sure forced them into errors with sensational defence but part of that is because they knew what was coming attack wise. ABs needed to go up the middle more than side to side.
