Wallabies vs Springboks 2
-
@NTA The defence was a bit better tonight. And I think you've got a superstar in the Junk Yard Dog once he gets picked. Lynagh Jr's a good player. It wouldn't totally surprise me if the Bledisloe is more competitive this year.
But yeah, the game in Australia has lots of big problems, many of which aren't going away in a hurry. And whoever sacked Dave Rennie was mad.

Set fire to fucking everything.
Rugby is dead in Australia.
Nobody listened to me when I said that ten years ago thru 'the channels"
Nobody wants to actually work together to make it better.
Fuck it all. Private school inbred fluffybunnies who think they know it all. Where are we? Show me progress.
Weave me a tapestry of your competence
You can't you dumb fucksHere we go, Aussie bashing again 🙄

Schmidt just admitted he cheated in the post match pressure. He has to be gone for 6 months at fucken least
Huh? I watched the presser - what are you talking about?
-
@KiwiMurph Bell was off for blood (which was of caused invisible while he was on the pitch) not an HIA as the refs called.
How do you not stitch a guy up for an invisible cut for 35 min?

Put the Boks under any sort of pressure and they slow it down.
Their utter cynicism will make the sport unwatchable and eventually financially bankrupt.
World Rugby needs to crack down on their antics and crack down hard.
Is that the reason why spectator/viewing numbers are down in NZ ? I believe viewing numbers are up everywhere else. Well, maybe not in Australia.

Invisible cut?
He had a legitimate cut (see photo below)
Slipper and Alan A had HIAs.
Perhaps ease up on the accusations.

@SidBarret said in Wallabies vs Springboks 2:
@KiwiMurph 35 min to fix?
As Schmidt said - by the time Slipper went off Bell had cooled down and given it was Bell's first game in 4 months and has a history of foot issues he didn't want to put him back out there.
That's not cheating that needs a 6 month ban.
It's within the rules.
-
@KiwiMurph A - if he thought his scrum had a prayer, Bell would have been out there.
B - in what world does his previous injury make any fucken difference? He was picked in a team representing Australia, either he is up for the job or they play with 14. Lying to the refs gets you a long fucken ban.
-
Don't try to be rational about this with a Bok fan.
If victim complex was an Olympic Sport they'd win all three medals every fucking time.
They're the Trump of rugby: either they win or the other side cheated.
And in this case, Sid gets to screech about both. Fucking perfect!

I completely disagree with A.
For B. How did they lie to the refs? Bell had a cut? Because Bell is deemed injured he doesn't have to come back on.

It makes a difference because he only had 50 minutes in him. Putting him back out there after he had cooled down is a huge injury risk if he doesn't have to. Because of the cut he didn't have to.

@SidBarret Siddie, relax at least the Springboks show they can beat the Wallabies without a dominant scrum without high up and unders every ball. Tony Brown is doing great work with our backline.
-
@SidBarret TBH it's 3:32AM here, and I haven't seen the game yet, because I've been post-season drinking, so I'll accept I'm not completely at my analytical best.
However I'd also point out that Mbonambi went off "injured" at 28 minutes last week but miraculously came back on when a yellow card happened.
Therefore, my view is:
- careful throwing stones from glass houses
- you're being a bit of a doos
- you should maybe learn how to win with a bit of grace
