All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

@Tim Finau?

@Bones It was Whitelock.

Shite exit at 30:17 - Christie should have box kicked.

[Tim]

No fan of Vaa'i's work around the field, but he is a good lineout jumper.

[Tim]

Fainga'anuku really out of position during the kicking exchange in the 35th minute. The ball was in play was down the right hand side. Ends up costing a 50/22 on his side.

A lot of McKenzie's mistakes were from the back, so can't blame them on Christie. Remarkable how little phase ball the ABs had in the first half.

[Tim]

ABs looking better when Christie picks out runners and avoids McKenzie.

@Bones Bizarrely, it was called by the linesman, and was fucking blatant!

Nothing Laulala can do when his opposite just pulls out of contact.

Called that at the time

I actually thought he hit rucks with a bit of venom and purpose in that second half. Agree on his lineout work

[Bones]

@ACT-Crusader yeah that's why I was impressed, he wasn't running around from ruck to ruck and putting his hand on it just before the ball came out, he was actually arriving at a breakdown and hitting it.

You mean Ethan Blackadder-ing it? I best retreat to my bomb shelter now as the Ta$man and Crusader scud missiles start raining down.

@Nepia why not double down and discuss how it's the blueprint Ardie set in stone pre-2020?
