Bledisloe #1

@Duluth Might be pretty hot at the start of RWC, but by end of October it shouldn't be.
Yeah - we might find out if it's not going to work tonight, but we won't find out if it really will work against the very best teams until October. Pretty much the opposite strategy to Eddie's use of two blindsides (if he's still doing that).

Whatever happens tonight we are lucky enough to be around during such a time of sweet sweet domination
Pain by numbers: just how dominant have the All Blacks been?
It's been almost a decade and a half since the Wallabies last hoisted the Bledisloe Cup in victory. It's no surprise, then, that most positive records in Bledisloe encounters fall the way of the All Blacks.

11 wins for Gregan, 9 losses for Marshall and Mehrts. Ugh.

This smells like loser talk
Sorry, but what does?
Like the Connor reference but @Jaguares4real has been banned at least twice but still doesn't walk out of a fight. Small kudos for that.
What were the bannings for?

Neither, in that case, has England
Or Argentina
Or, in fact, the 120 odd other nations who are eligible
Eh? Not sure England or Arg can play for the Bledisloe...

@Crucial I guess all of us remember where we were for that game. The emotional rollercoaster was immense.
In the cold light of day though, jeez our defence to let them back in was a black mark.
But, a win's a win
I was pissed off we let them back in that easily , I didnt enjoy that game the way most did for that reason..... but Im probably a grumpy bastard .
If we are being honest with ourselves, the Aussies had a better side than ours and I know even when we were up that OZ would make some sort of run.
Yep 100 %, and it used to piss me off
I remember well walking back to the car after that fateful day in 1978 when the world tilted on its axis. Took over 30 years for AB dominance over Wannabees to be restored.

Could be a rather trying evening watching the test with the atmospheric conditions in the last hour or so in my part of Welllington causing a number of Sky interruptions. Radio Sport's Nigel Yalden could be our saviour tonight.
This lightning is fucken awesome aye ! it's quite relentless out Island Bay way !
