Yes he did some good things but this doesn't look the same Will Jordan.
Well he would have had a double if Rieko hadn't fucked a pass at Beaudy in the first half.
Ben Smith scored a heap of tries on the end of simple draw and pass.
Jordan has been getting served up slop on the right wing for weeks.
No one scores tries like he does when he breaks the line.
Dropping him would be a dereliction of duty to the jersey, to Will, to the fans and to Rugby as a sport.
And to the art of non tackling

Seriously where is the enjoyment in this? Another win to the All Blacks off the back of a retarded call to make the Bled, once again, a dead rubber.
Just retarded.
You could argue Swain was a clear red and Foley's pass looked forward but I agree that last call was pretty harsh considering how often time wasting goes on and is allowed.
But if ref warned them and he said he did then what do you expect? Foley had major brainfade...

At least the Bledisloe Cup is safe.
Like winning a race reversing over the finish line missing wheels and the engine on fire.
Umm. Great.
Still won. Sometimes doesn't matter how
The ABs bar right now

The issues are lack of composure, fading concentration and poor structure on defence. Mentally, they are still not there. We continue to see lousy choices on attack, poor positioning on defence and lapses of discipline at key moments. Again, we see their capacity to momentarily look comfortable and in control and then drop their focus like a ADHD teen skipping his ritalin. And all this against a Wallaby team thrown together at the last minute. Something is wrong.

Oh for sure, but this is a poor team.
Lucky the Wallabies had so many injuries really.

Let's hope that it is being clamped down on. If ABs take a learning from this game, it is that you can't time waste at the end of a game anymore. If they are on the wrong side of a similar call in future, more fool them!

I'm sorry but why are they celebrating??? They had ample opportunity to put that game away with all the YCs, fucked endless opportunities to score, showed complete lack of aptitude in defense and got a unicorn at the end to win. I feel dirty and the ABs again, are complete shit.
FFS bro, they just won a close game, they're fucking human, allow them to celebrate.
They every opportunity to win that convincingly and needed a unicorn at the end. But I guess this is the new normal. Foster's Fuckups.
Give it away.
Go watch a nil all soccer game.
Fuck we won. Celebrate. We can be better.
But have a beer. Smile and enjoy the Bled for 11 years ...

Knowing us, even if we'd had every player fit and available we'd have lost by 20

Nah I’m sorry but that’s fucked. First and only time I’ve ever seen that call, and it’s in the 79th minute of a Bledisloe. Just absolute horse shit.
Take the win NZ. But it’s hardly a famous victory.
What was the ref supposed to do? Just wait for the hooter for the next minute?
Player has to take responsibility.

Great off load by Jordan
After almost fucking it trying to go himself instead of going wide.
Come on beautiful off load made the try should have could have try in the end.
What would have made the try a lot safer and easier was continuing on the outside arc and feeding Jordie. He got lucky, so at least he's getting that facet back.

We really let the Wallabies back in. The loose game suited your team. Valetini played well I thought.

Live at the ground the wallabies were all yelling , arms waving to kick the ball , they knew he was pushing it too far

Genuine question. Are we now actively trying to throw this game?
I’ve got a $50 on the Aussies, just saying
You're the curse
Thank you for paying $50 for the win, we needed it.

Added to that even the Oz commentators didn't think the jackler was supporting his own weight which led to the penalty. So could have been a penalty the other way.

Admit Barnes robbed the All Blacks in 2007 and we will give you this one...
