Still no one takes a droppie, just dumb
Who would you trust to kick a droppie?
None of them but it would be nice to see some show big enough balls to actually take it

@Chris Like when he was the only attacking threat against England at twickenham 2018 end of year tour where he destroyed them?
Or when he destroyed the Springboks in south africa in his first rugby championship? Which bigger/physical teams are you talking about? I've heard this statement repeated even though its been refuted consistently.
at Centre ??
Should have quoted your original comment. Was referring to your statement on Dmac against bigger teams.

Drawing with Oz at home in the first test is a poor result - and the TAB odds show how bad that was by us.
The big edge we've had over the Wallabies for pretty much two decades has been in physicality.
Playing two sevens and three little backs starts to give that away.
In the end, we should have won that with a drop kick - but that would only have papered over some cracks.

I thinks the young lock played well in the time he spent on the park. Trying to think of positives.
He was ok but very lucky not to give away a penalty when oz were close to our line at the end.

Traditionally we have been shit first test , but it’s quite often against a lesser opponent, ( even lesser Than aus )
So hopefully we get better ,
I’m desperate, looking for positives 🤔

For all those begging for the drop goal near the end... sitting in the stadium, I'd have to say I can understand nobody going for a droppie. You'd need the advantage guarantee to have gone for anything other than safely-safely in that weather.
Just read back through the thread, even in the first half, nobody seemed to know who had the wind at their back.
It was stereotypical CakeTin, on the higher end of the Beaufort scale. -

We get this even when the refs favour the wobs from their whinging fans so we aren't going to hear the end of it after today. The whinging on twitter has been non stop.

Congratulations Fozzie. You did something Henry or Hansen didn’t achieve and that is lose the first Bledisloe match against a new Wallabies coach.
Slow starters, new combos, inexperienced backline, silver linings, hope, the draw we needed to have
No - Robbie Deans won his first Bledisloe Cup match in 2008: 34-19 in Sydney.
Wasn’t that Deans first test against the ABs, and OZ won?
