@Tim said in Japan v All Blacks:
Just a reminder that we conceded 31 points against Japan. I assume that's another record.
Defence wins big games, and MacLeod still has a job ... Madness.
Was 69-31 last time we played them, so not a record there. So Mcleod hasn't gotten any better in the past 4 years then.

Surely you tap it and kick it out when time is up.
Cowards.
But it didn't even deny Japan the bonus point. Should have gone for the try.
Why take a shot at goal? Just kick for touch
@Frank Here you go, you can watch the whole thing if you want

Havili getting retired in front of his own eyes.
With Foster, he'll be straight back in at 12...
I don't think you can award that
Surely going and tackling the number 8 while the ball is still in after collapsing the scrum is a professional foul

Probs YC because Dalton touches the ground with his arm first.
How silly of him. He should know better than to protect himself when another player put him in a dangerous position
@antipodean said in Bledisloe 1:
I'm not entirely convinced Foley was trying to waste time after the ref blew time back on. He looked more to be waiting for his forward pack to get out of their huddle and be paying attention after the ref blew time off. Still, he should have realized the ref wasn't going to be patient after telling them to hurry up.
There definitely was time wasting but it's a bit hard to tell how egregious it was when the footage is mostly just replays and close ups of random players.
That wasn't at all straight but it's advantage for jumping across the lineout
@Stargazer said in Bledisloe 1:
So is he going to yellow card the other guy, to avoid giving a red?
Nah that halfback deserved it more. Never seen a more cynical attempt at collapsing a maul...
@Derpus said in Bledisloe 1:
@Frank red for entering from the side would be novel but I wouldn't put it past rugby to miss a chance to card a bloke.
@ACT-Crusader said in Bledisloe 1:
Now Aussies taking a knee because we’ve sped the game up
In more ways than one
If that's not red I don't know what is
@canefan said in Bledisloe 1:
This is amateur hour
What? There's another 30 minutes before they get better?

@Mackerzzzz said in Bledisloe 1:
Er card for what?
Pulling down the maul
Why didn't the Wallabies get also a card when they tried to collapse the maul we scored from?
@Donsteppa said in All Blacks v Argentina II:
TJ might have been the last person to pick up on that ruling...
It was pretty close, only half a metre short
They can't afford to fire Foster because of his severance package... Giving him a lifetime supply of KFC would bankrupt us.
@Kirwan said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
So foster to resign?
Probably more chance of a 4 year extension being announced
