I've no idea what Cully is going on about in that article. I still get butterflies in my stomach before every All Black game and I'm not even taking the field.
Fark, yeah, I'm really excited by this one. Re-watching our loss in BrisVegas to warm up - we had a moderate team then; Great to see Dane Coles there, but Lima S at 10, and DMac at the back was a raw combo.
DMac can create magic, but is developing fast I reckon and learning to pick his moments. Good coaching helps that shit
Edit: also some of the forward's work gives me a chubby. They were just smashign some gold jerseys out there like bogans smashing woodies on a Friday night

That is the thing people refuse to accept. They see DMac as unchanged and a massive liability. This couldn't be further from the truth.

DMac was good against the French but then seemed to revert to type for the Chiefs. The Chiefs game-plan may have something to do with that though - he's probably better suited to a more structured game where he can pick his moments to try something, rather than always trying to create.

the first half in Sydney where we put 40 points on the Aussies .... it was incrediballs.
The demolition of SA in Albany - 57-0??
plenty there after the Lions
-
@nzzp Wobblies got up in Dunners? and were unlucky not to win after getting off to a flyer and then BB scoring pretty much on FT and then a tight battle in SA.
TBH I dont recall much form the Argie matches.

Fark, winning in Dunedin was awesome. Aussies should have had that one - it was a Lazarus/Winston Peters like comeback

I was at that game and couldn't remember it until reading your post a second time and thinking about. Yet, I can probably remember every game I went to in the 90s.

i just watched the highlights, how pathetic was the Wallaby defense?
I remember that last try now, and still, a year on, don't understand how in the world that could be awarded.

@mariner4life that's amazing, love the guy (Hoiles?) getting make up.

Cully is a NZ-based Aussie so that has to be factored into the article.
Edit: I'll correct myself. NZ-born, raised in Northern Ireland but spent most of his working life in Australia.
A Wallaby win in Sydney would be the best outcome for the Bledisloe Cup and setup a must-win in Auckland. None of us Kiwis want that of course.
Que?

Forget the try, that behind the scenes footage was the sporting highlight of 2017.
You know Nick McArdle was saying “forward pass, forward pass”.....

Interesting test between the Argies and Boks.
Argies turn over the ball far too easily, but they know how to sniff a try.
Boks forwards were quite good and as usual attack the ball hard she it hits the deck. They have some speed in their backs, but they look a little suspect defensively. Pollard had a very up and down game. His passing was a bit skitterish and he had a shocker goal kicking.
