Bledisloe I (All Blacks team room bugged)

<p>Bloody beautiful!</p>
<p>Little complaint. The way the Wallabies go through and take the man out beyond the ruck really needs to be looked at. Geez it was pissing me off!</p> -
<p>Fekitoa <u>still</u> has a way to go - just saw his pick up of the dropped ball and he should have scored then, or been better prepared to pass the ball.</p>

<br>
Yes but how did it work out for them -

<p>When I saw it in the run of play, from behind his left shoulder, it looked like he had knocked it forward.</p> -
<p>Apparently this just happened </p>

I'm trying to think of positives. The first positive is the game is over tonight. The second positive is that they did have one combination that worked really well. That was their thrower with the All Black jumpers. </div> -

<br>
First time they've lost the first 4 of a season since 1969 I think I heard an aussie commentator relay in a moment when he could put some perspective on the current state of Australian Rugby -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="booboo" data-cid="607531" data-time="1471695238"><p>Yeah. But not like a few years ago.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Just saw the score. Been out at dinner.<br><br>
That attendance figure is based on the current reality I suppose -

Que? Read in the bin?<br><br>
And Bono scored before BFA was yellowed in the final.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Thought Bono's try in the final was from the lineout AFTER Smith's card. Could be wrong though.<br><br><br>
On the game, great win. Good to not let the Wallabies get whatseems to be their traditional first win of the series. <br>
Hope we can back it up next week and secure the cup. <br><br>
Thought BB was good as was Cruden when he came on. Read back to his best. Most guys were good come to think of it. Except Fekitoa. Typical game from him really, some decent stuff but some panicy shit. He totally bombed that try before coles saved the day. Looked like he thought he could stroll in. <br><br>
Coles didn't look 100% (for onvious readons) there was one point in the first half where gave the ball early to his winger where he would usual try and draw the defender first. Having said that he was still pretty good. <br><br>
For all the talk of ABs midfield being the weakness, did Kuridrani catch a ball all night? Folau for me continues to rival Bono as the most over hyped player in the world. Went missing AGAIN. He is good but nowhere near as good as he gets hyped as. <br><br>
Will wait to see how the rest of the series goes before commenting on the wallabies too much but they appear to have some big issues. Bringing back semi retired guys who couldn't win the Bledisloe in their prime seems short sighted. Having a whinging captain who only plays 60mins seems like a silly choice and playing two garden gnomes in the back row and wondering why your lineout sucks seems idiotic. -

Do you ever actually watch rugby? Is it that painful being a Wallabies supporter? -

The watching it is mostly disappointing. The gloating is the painful part. <br><br>
This year I kind of lost interest after my club got kicked out of the local competition with a couple of rounds to go. Plus the Olympics have been on.<br><br>
Was a rare opportunity to catch up with friends that happened to coincide with Bledisloe tonight. More important things than rugby. -
Hilarity. Me favourite part was the rugby we played straight after halftime. We didn't score, but it looked like we were playing a club side we were that dominant. <br><br>
Aus were shit, hampered by injury, passive, and the imports added nothing. Their vaunted flankers are shit as well. What the fuck do the do next week? Quade and Palu? They've got fuck all.<br><br>
Us not perfect. Dagg and fekitoa carried on their form of the last month. Subs didn't have their usual impact, and we let that rabble score. <br><br>
I love rugby today -
Are you implying,NTA, that it is rare that you can catch up with friends?<br>
As a fan lows come with the territory and in fact improve it. Just as long as not too low!!<br>
You may enjoy Kearns on scrummaging in second half. He's got his own personal overhead camera screen. -
Also, lineout steals make my dick hard
