NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition

[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

@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

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

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

[Stargazer]

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

[akan004]

Dickhead Kearns reckons the other teams are sick of the free ride the ABs get. He was referring to the yellow.

[Tim]

@akan004 LOL.

I'm guessing he doesn't bother watching anymore and just goes to item #3 on his post match check list.

[Tim]

@antipodean Even Green and Gold Rugby gave that up a few years ago.

[MrDenmore]

That fat corrupt Tory fluffybunny Kearns on Fox blaming the loss on the ABs getting a ‘free ride’ from referees theory

TJP quickly updating NMS on what happened with the ladies they met last night during the handshake parade...

He's been fucking superb off the bench all year. I get you want Mo'unga there but DMac has been great in black this year.

If you managed to get paid by repeating yourself every game, would you bother watching it?

He's become a parody

This breakdown of the game misses the point. The Wallabies are not good enough. It's not moments, its the fact that they are just not a good enough side to seriously challenge the best sides.

[akan004]

Gregan whinging about the BFA try now.

[kev]

@stargazer he relies on a broken defensive line. Rocks an diamonds. Trouble with test matched is you want to build pressure and mistakes release it.

That’s a nice pink skirt

Thus destroying the myth that every Kiwi who comes over here to play rugby was an AB trialist back home.

Nah, that only the case for Kiwi's living in England.

Except making the error to lose the game vs Boks in Wellington....
