It was a match-winner, the All Blacks could have gone into the second half with a considerable lead- without this brain explosion.
This kept the Wallabies in the game.
The linesman also missed Ioane step over the line in the phase of play for Jordy Barrat s try.
Australians are calling for a suspension for cheating.
Rieko has played at enter regularly flor the Bkues anbd he should know the position well. Let me be quite clear - he has the bulk and used that extensively on the wing - but he is to my mind not enough pace for that position. If I was the AB coach I would continue with him at center - they have wings aplenty (amongst others Ensor and Bridge for instance) - but their center stocks are not all that good.
Great left wing...not convinced at outside center yet.
Moolaa
Compared to wings like Bridge, Engor, Lam, Watson, Kolbe and Dlamini he is relatively slow. He is a very strong ball carrier and that made up for his comparative pace. I am a great Ioane admirer and I think to an extent he has been not as good at present compared to his first appearances for the AB's and I differ rom you on the issue of his performance at center.
Anyway the departure of the 2015 centers from the AB's left them with a rather thin cover in the center position. They have tried a number of players and only Lienert-Brown really shoed enough in that position. So lets see what comes up.
I laughed my arse off when they disallowed that try.
Anyway, it's time to face it.
The new boys for the ABs do not match the old boys and things won't be the same for them going forward.
They also picked the wrong coach. One wonders how many Kiwis agree with that statement?
NH tours are gonna be hell for them next few years. It may be the case that it could be many years before we see them properly dominate again. Man for man, they'r e not close to their team from eight years ago.
