Bledisloe II - Have a stab at the teams.
-
I'm still perplexed as to this amazing running game Folau offers, not exactly any compelling evidence the last couple of weeks. <br><br>
Bit of a shit game, resulting in the highlight probably being Moore mangling his face going for a cheap shot on Coles. -

<p>That Mark McLeod , he thinks because people want that crap at the sevens they want it at a test match . No one in NZ has ever been heard to say " I'm bored by this gripping contest, what I really want to hear is Delilah by Tom Jones".</p>

<p>Na not really haha, but they had to try something different by not getting bullied off the park like last week. Either way they were never going to win the match.</p> -

<p>Ok, so the reffing was pretty shite for both sides, but Wallabies, where the bloody hell are you?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bullshit niggle and nothing on attack. If I were Cheika, I would have been smashing things not just screaming fuck off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unfortunately the AB's were a lot more off than on, tonight. Anton LB had a very respectable debut, Izzy Dagg was great in the first half, Cane a monster in the rough, and Barrett and Ben from Accounting speedy. (Only pout for BB was his goalkicking which was a bit off tonight.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did I mention the reffing was bad? Sweet vodka bonnet.</p> -

He's got it on a string at the moment. Every kick just lands where he wants it. Every pass hits its target*, and his step caused a defender to fall over pretty much every time tonight.<br><br><br>- I should say that, that is a result of training because whenever the ball goes into the air, someone is going to run onto it. So its as much Barrett as it is the whole team.</p></blockquote>
That fend off of Pocock was sharp too <br>
Searing pace of the mark

<p>The second one, in the early days of the stadium some people in the stadium used to sing along with it at super rugby and npc games now its as welcome as a plate of pork spare ribs at a muslim wedding.</p> -

Awesome to lock that nice big shiny cup away for another year. <br>
Weird game. Felt like not much had happened at half time.<br>
Poite was rubbish. That penalty that got reversed for coles cleaning out was pathetic. Kepu probably should have been yellowed for his off the ball shit on smith, it came after plenty of warnings about niggle. Franks probably lucky not to get a yellow (or penalty) for his facial. <br><br>
Think they should have taken the 3 multiple times with 10min to go. It would have pushed it past 21. But instead they give it away with a stupid tap and shit grubber. <br>
Would like to see a replay of whitelock grounding the ball in the wallabies ruck. He got robbed of a try last time he tried that so interested to see if it was on the line this time. <br><br>
ALB had a bloody good debut. He is a keeper. <br>
J Savea was good and scored a well taken try for the second week in a row. Cane pulled off some great tackles and was the best "7" out there. <br><br>
Wallabies fidn't bring anything but niggle. A better ref would have sorted it out by marching them 10 early on. <br>
Found it weird that they subbed fardy at 38mins. He looked confused too. <br><br>
Wouldn't be surprised to see the Boks beat them in oz. -
<p>Pocock tackles and running incredibly weakly for a 7... or 8 in this case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just no impact.</p> -

<p>I imagine the Fardy sub had something to do with the yellow card. Since their backrowers offer nothing in the lineout, they needed a sub when Coleman went off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I imagine they wanted to keep scoring tries because of the bonus point rules (although they were up by 4 tries at that stage).</p> -
The Wallabies attack is a massive problem. They get turnovers but don't know what to do with it. Their line speed in defence was a lot better tonight (tackling was overall very poor though), but they still lacked organisation when realigning in attack. <br><br>
No variation, no imagination. <br><br><br>

So how was Fardy let back on?
