Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

[Jailbreak7]

Fark what is it with Nuggie tonight. Stop batting the fucking ball!

[nostrildamus]

That Cadbury logo across Tupou's wide chest looks appropriate.

[booboo]

Golden oldies coming soon i reckon.

In which case they'll be playing with 14.

So he stays as a passenger

Tupou is fucked

I can't understand keeping him on. No good will come of it

[nostrildamus]

@Canes4life said in Australia v All Blacks - Bled I:

This is a McCaw like performance tonight by Scott Barrett. Superb.

I would have said Pinetree-like.

[antipodean]

I'd start playing for scrums from here on

[Damo]

Golden oldies if he goes off, and then they drop a man (I think)

Absolutely everywhere.

Don't think so. They were going to replace him with Angus Bell before he decided to stay on for that scrum.

[Tim]

Isn't this very dangerous for Tupou if he stays on?

[nostrildamus]

Their play is to niggle Nugget and it worked, so maybe, just maybe, the bench 9 should come on?

Not a good idea.

He's at risk of another serious injury surely

You'd think they owe him a duty of care.

Is Bell a TH?

Can an injured player cone back on?

[nostrildamus]

Someone asked the crowd number? 83,500-84,000 the commentators reckon.

[MiketheSnow]

Crazy rule that two legitimate injuries results in Oz having to play with 14

It depends on the injury.

I got a rib cartilage strain about 10 minutes into a game once and provided I breathed the right way, I could continue at tighthead.

Every raffle fucking hurt tho

It's a good rule because it would get gamed otherwise.

[booboo]

What's with our ball security?
