NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition

[Tim]

Good try, but pretty shoddy defence there.

[Stargazer]

@kruse I reckon they've been too busy these last two years with experimenting with new structures.

Fuck we're just so average. There's no real respect for the Wallabies any more.

If Australia weren't so shit, we'd lose.

A weird game, we’ve played poorly at times and defended badly, but will win comfortably.

So, like a game against Samoa or something then?

[ShadowTrooper]

@kruse Yeah and the psychic energy of Mexted

[Stargazer]

Comfortable win, average game.

[mariner4life]

Slow clap

[Machpants]

Harris on...

...didn't fuck up his line out!

What does Scott McLeod do........

Turnstile Engineer?

[booboo]

We'll take that.

Felt score was kind of flattering to Aus.

[sparky]

Nice to win against Aussie again, but the English and Irish coaches are going to watch the tape of this AB performance and think "Is that it?"

[Kruse]

What a limp end to a limp game... the TMO telling the ref that the game is over.

[No Quarter]

Pretty uninteresting game. We did enough to win without really getting out of 1st gear. Beauden's try the stand-out moment in the match. Not much else to talk about other than the midfield which is past it and unlikely to see us through to the RWC.

ALB that was terrible

That spoils your plans tonight. Who else you going to bat over now?

[Tordah]

I'll look at the positives:

• scrums were very good, nice return for Laulala
• SBW was so bad that finally even the selectors who love him for some reason must have seen it
• Barrett's place kicking was good
• Barrett's running game still up there
• Retallick got through unharmed
• Ben Smith still as reliable as ever

[taniwharugby]

@sparky they still need to step up, just cos we arnet playing well, they still have to actually win.

• The empty looks in the wallabies' eyes during handshakes/etc

[kev]

@tordah DMac still doesn’t look like a starter.

[kiwiinmelb]

Phil Kearns is frustrated at the free ride Nz get from referees

[Stargazer]

@kev He isn't the best impact player anymore either.
