I was genuinely confused by a number if his decisions for both teams. He must be difficult to play under. -

<p>Might just be me, but if Sonny Bill Williams posted that tweet about Cheika, he's a twat of the highest order.<br><br>
Yeah, I get bagging a team for their performance, or an individual player who's taking the mick, but slagging off the coach of another country after your team has won about an award that was given by other professionals just makes you sound like the shit guy who has to get the extra dig in after the fight is over.

<p>LOL at Read - "talk to yourself" to Moore when the ref told him to talk to the Aussie players to calm them down</p>

<p>I thought that comment by Read was brilliant. Moore was probably too thick to realise it was directed at him.</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.<br><br>
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></blockquote>
<br>
Fair point on the Fardy thing. Still insane to drag a guy who can actually jump in a lineout whrn your lineout has turned to shit. <br><br>
Still think the 3 was the best option. They were 4 tries up. If they were worried about Aust scoring two tries (which would have made it a 6 point game) they should have been thinking about securing the win first. Regardless the stupid tap and go then grubber was a shit option. <br><br>
Two weeks in a tow our subs haven't quite added the pubch weare used to them adding. Not sure Cruden voming on along side Barret works very well. <br><br>
Who fo we have next? Argies? Wonder what changes there will be. Probably limited in the backs given the injuries. Maybe Pat T in and dome loosie rotation. -

<p>Probably want to keep the general structure the same in preparation for the Boks. Maybe more time for the benchies in case of injury.</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>
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk</p></blockquote>It doesn't help that they've got genuine injury issues in their backline. At no point this year have I felt the selectors have put out their best backline.<br><br>
Tonight I felt they competed much better and could have had a score or two with better players. Certainly a better effort from last week.<br><br>
Two weeks in a row the All Blacks have looked seriously disjointed with the bench coming on. -

<p>Maybe McKenzie will be getting a start against the pumas? Dammit, I should have bought that up when I was having breakfast with him Jerome Kaino , Liam Squire and Joe Moody.</p> -

Im sure the Wallabies were listening in to the meeting with poite anyway. According to the Aussie coverage post game analysis<br>
the Wallabies aren't allowed to question the ref so no point attending if you have it recorded on tape. -

<p>Not sure about stopping it - just maybe some protocols about having everyone in the room?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, if they're worried about why Cheika wasn't invited, maybe they should try this:</p>

<p>I expect a few changes and some key players to be rested for the SA test the following week. Cruden/Sopoaga at 1st 5, Dixon for Kaino, Pat T/Romano to be in the 23. </p> -

Its really gone past his ususlly cheerleading one eyed stuff to flat out moaning hasn't it. Add nothing other than bitching and moaning and complaining about how much the opposition is cheating. Both games this year he has addressed Crocket as "one of the most penalised props in the world" just petty shit. Foxsports need to reign him in, how is that good for growing the game? -
