Congrats to the ABs. Oz didn't score enough points when they had most of the possession in the first half. Second half belonged to the ABs. This game had some exciting moments as there were some big breakaways of mistakes and good play. The AB set piece was great after a few lineout misses at the beginning .
I have to do some stuff but hope to be back to watch the wee Boks take on the Argies. Hope it is a good showing by the Boks,
Cheers JW .
Hey Wardad, a good day at the office for the ABs. Hope they have got rid of the rust now. Wobbles must be dreading the game at Eden park.
True Bro that Eden park hoodoo is a good un eh ? I hear Cheiks is putting the Wallabies up at Waiheke Island for reasons known only to himself.
Remiss of me to forget our girls too ,another good day at the office eh ? Cloudster be a happy wee lassie !
Trying to isolate the team I guess. I livef on Waiheke Island as a wee lad, back then there was only one car on the island - the doctor owned it. How times have changed
Abs too clinical in second half. OZ ran out of gas. Destroyed in the set pieces. All about momentum ABS got it. And OZ couldent wrestle it back.. BB bit erratic at times, but man does things know one can. And if Brodie is not the best tight forward in the world right now.
Wallabies were dominant in the first half, but the All Blacks handling skills and running lines create a try from nothing in the last 5 minutes.
Then in first five minutes of the 2nd half All Blacks score. It was then game over for the Ozzies.
Self-confidence must take a beating to not score a try after dominating a whole half.
All Blacks defence looking very good. The only time they lose is when their pack is dominated in the first half- AND the opposition is able to score tries against them. If there is not enough of a points difference, the All Blacks will always get stronger as space opens up at the end of the game. Or they will use broken play to score tries against the run of play.....
Hi Cloudy, the atmosphere must have been good, especially if you were around kiwis. Being surrounded by Aussies perhaps not so good. My memories of live rugby games always seem to include freezing m y butt off, lol
Australia need to sack this dud coach. They must forget about this fanciful Aussie delusion of one-dimensional Wallaroo ball. Their defensive record post-Deans is absolutely disgraceful. Their record against New Zealand is a shambles.
Bring back Deans!
Not necessarily Deans, but I think Jake would have been a better step forward. Australia's record post-Deans is terrible. They want all-out attack, so little appreciation for a complete game and this is where New Zealand wipe the floor with them. New Zealand are quickly making 38-40 points an average against Australia. Whats the response? Nothing. Australia are taking notes from SA rugby on how to kill your rugby culture. Its making SH rugby more one sided and boring.
