Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October
-
Just switched on the box and the final quarter of the game last night is on. Rieko looked genuinely chuffed about his try, good for the confidence. JB ran a great line for his try and RM made a nice pass, but it was Aussie turning the ball over to Whitelock and failing to react to it in time that set it up. Ruthless play by the MIB

But fuck, maybe I'm just in the minority here amd out of touch, and maybe all the average punters really wants is hot chips and a crappy pie. Its certainly the lowest effort and if the $ aren't there from changing then I guess why would they?
It's certainly one of the reasons why I don't get out for games. I can take the family out for a nice meal then go home and watch the game while Al Bundying on my sofa without having to worry about being rained on. I can also have an esky full of beers and snacks and I'd still be paying less than if we all went to the stadium. It's a freaking ripoff and I can't believe people actually pay those prices, not only for actually getting in, but some soggy farking chips and 400ml of XXXX Gold in a plastic cup. And what if your team loses!!!!
A mate of mine paid over $200 to watch the ABs draw in the rain a few weeks back.
A mutual mate said he’d get tickets but neglected to mention the price. Said mate was spewing he got stung for that much. I was quite comfortable watching on the couch with as much beer and chippies as I could handle.

I am with @mariner4life. The ABs were gifted their points in the first half and when Aussie stood up for 30 odd minutes in the second half the ABs were rubbish. The result and record score is making the performance seem better than what it actually was.
-
@mariner4life they got a few tries from set piece which were excellent. Our set piece went well, yes JG missed a tackle but it happens. The ABs overall kicking game was very good finding space. BB chip for Mounga shows some good game IQ. A Smith delivery was excellent and they won by a record margin. Yes the Wallabies were shit and yes after half time we struggled a bit but I was very happy with the performance. Can we do better, of course but after Wellington I will take that performance every day of the week.

If I'm Dave rennie our first try is the one that pisses me off the most.
Decent but not outstanding maul, simple phase to the posts and then switch back. Same as every other team in the world does. And we have a 4 on 1 overlap? That's appalling

Communication breakdown I assume, whose job is it on D to ensure that doesn't happen? I guess the winger should be yelling, the pillar at the ruck should be yelling and the 15 should see it early you would think.

It was still a sweet pass from Smith to execute and take advantage of the overlap, that Karl T almost stuffed mind you.
I think we are still in building mode. Three tests in and we are basically relying on our defence as combinations build, particularly in the backs.

@Daffy-Jaffy interesting. He speaks surprisingly well...

@ACT-Crusader Is it just me or is ESPN's Lineouts won stat pretty bloody meaningless?
Would be a bit more interesting if they credited the jumper.
