All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.

@NTA said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
Todd was a genuine nuisance, but I thought he was fortunate a couple of times, with his elbows on the ground or his weight on another player in the ruck-thing. Mainly though, he got himself into position to be a nuisance, so he gets the credit for that, and getting the penalties.
Both sides were a bit inaccurate on their own ball at ruck time. We just didn't do enough.
I was about to quote this post but replace "Todd" with "Pocock in every game he ever played" but then I thought, fuck it, don't bother.

Read choosing to kick the ball out at the end is one of the strangest decisions I have seen from this AB team.
Yeah, didn't need it. BBBR already went off. SW was on a dodgy ankle.
Do you really wanna risk another injury? -
TKB has the passing accuracy of A Smith and the strength of TJP in heavy traffic. Was a good addition I thought, his crisp service helped us open the game up at the end.

@dingo and yet, you still practically did.
And yet, I didn't which is better bro.

This is the same guy that threw a no look pass that would have been an Aus try if we didn't have a turbo hooker?

What exactly are you disagreeing with him on? That was an obvious fuck up but it doesn't change the fact that his delivery was a dramatic improvement on TJP's crap passing.

Watching the Wallaby post game interview and Chieka's having a massive whine. What's this thing about clowns?

@Rapido nah bro, I don't see it. He can choose his support line: the guy with the ball is so far in front that the support player can choose to go inside or outside. The defender never had a chance. Never was in front of dhp. It's a try.

Julian may not have got him but he was denied the chance to by the change of line...technically correct ruling IMO.
Thought savea was rubbish in.the first 40 but sparked up in the 2nd.
Todd was excellent. Some of his and Kainos hits....that trysaver by coles was right in front of me and boy he can move!
Wish people would stop booing Quade...mind you there are always boof heads who are embarrassing and there were 2 just in front of us. But there seemed large sectools that didn't boo too which is good.

As usual, Chieka's embarrassed himself. What a fool.

press conference from cheika was interesting, will be a talking point tomorrow

@antipodean what old Crusty saying? When you get reamed by 27 points you'd have to have Winger strength cognitive issues to think you'd been robbed.

@taniwharugby but this is what I don't get... why can't a support player change his line from inside to outside? He's in front of the defender.
@reprobate he wasnt he was beside him and changed his line. if he was in front I agree.

Internet is erupting with outraged Wallabies fans. Spittle flying everywhere, but it was stupid from DHP because it was so unnecessary - Julian wasn't going to catch Speight.

@taniwharugby I see him as marginally in front - at absolute worst even and jostling for position - and irrelevant to play anyway as there was no catching him. I think it's a shit call, and i would be furious if it were against my team.
@reprobate whether Julian woulda got him or not is irrelevant, hecwas in a position to attempt and was denied by a dumb pointless move by dhp.
Oh and I'd be furious too if we were on the end of that...but IMO still correct in the rule book

I'm sure he sends sternly worded emails to The Daily Telegraph and Fox every time they portray their opponents as anything other than brilliant.
