All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants too many undercooked all being thrown together in ine go

[Tordah]

crushed Aussie souls nicely and got a reality check themselves at the same time. Good test.

LF and Finau earn’t a seat on the plane to France and Newell showed why Ryan rates him as a TH.

Thanks Quade, true kiwi.

Heartbreaking for Eddie Jones

But a moral victory for the way they played 😉

That's a fantastic second half comeback. Gave the Wallabies every opportunity to seal the game by halftime and that'll be damaging for their confidence.

Clearly part of the Fozzie master plan 🙄

[Machpants]

Ardie led with performance awesome

[Canerbry]

Well to be fair to Damien McKenzie, at least he didn't lose us the match.

[African Monkey]

@Chris Newell was LH

When did Newell last play?

So long ago that I can't remember.

"An improved performance". The reality is they were gifted possession and territory and managed to lose the game.

[Windows97]

Replacement front row and replacement 9 & 10 won us the game

[Steve]

I want to see Samisoni, Roigard, Jacobsen, Papalii, Finau and DMAC start in Twickenham.

Jordan at 15 again..... we know what Beaudie can do.

The 80 minutes Finau got today was invaluable.

Yeah that's what I thought, pretty fucking impressive first game back

[Tordah]

Replacement front row won that (apart from old man Sam, who was probably ABs best). First half set piece was horrid, second was good, though a competing lineout would have been nice

[Steven Harris]

Totally owned most of that 2nd half without putting the points on the board
Fletcher Newall earned a seat on the plane .
Great to see SS come back in the 2nd half ,
Richie Mounga no 1 first five no question

[Chris]

@African-Monkey

He was TH mate he always has been
