Wobblies versus Abs official match thread

 Skelton on, let's see what he can do at this level.

 Great try Hooper.

 wobblies getting some momentum.Wobblies score again! Stunned crowd. 

 Com'on Kev, give us a good performance.

 Fekitoa limping

 Wobblies better wee abs scrum and earn a penalty.

 Wallabies gimping...

 Skleton loses ball in abs 22. Man hwo often havent they messed up excellent positions by losing control of the ball. 

 Wobblies poor handling has had a big part in this loss.

 It's because of the pace of the game and pressure of ABs.

 Folau almost scores.

 Great tackle Barrett.

 Wobbles be in strife with no f olau wouldnt they ....

 More cynical ab play earns F ranks a yellow. Hahahhahahahaha

 I love hearing Phillbilly Kearns in pain....

 Try with one man down.!!

 Awesome ABS !!!! Sorry to the poor old Wobblies........but yeah.

 51-20. Great game!! ABs answered all their critics!!

Wobblies turn ball over but get penalised.abs get final score of the match.
Wobblies came back well in second part of second half.Mckenzie will have learned a lot re player selection. Phipps and Foley. Beale and Kudrani at center. Higgenbottom. Speight also must come in along with O'Connor. 
What happened to Horwill. Carter is no lock at 110 kg he lacks grunt. Guys like Mowen are also options. Needs to strengthe n pack.Skelton adds solidity and with more experience and skills development - like catching a ball could get there.
Wobblies cant blame the ref. Yes one try was not a try but otherwise Roman was not too bad.
If Mckenzie learns from this test the wobblies will have benefited immensely.

Completely outclassed by a superior team. Congrats abs. Score line was flattering. 

Completely outclassed by a superior team. Congrats abs. Score line was flattering. 

The trouble is the wee abs will not be able to play this netball rugby whilst on the back foot against the Mighty Boks. 
Note how in two matches the abs have faded.
I urge all kbbs not to get too excited. Wobblies were poor and allowed you guys to look good. They certainly were not at the level they were at last week when they had the better of the abs.
Cloudy still stalking Ritchie!

 Yes the scoreline was flattering given the non try and a try against a 7 man scrum. Also the wobblies handling handed over possession to the abs on a number of occssions which ment a try scoring oppoprtunity was lost and it led in fact to  abs tries. Huge factor
Some changes in selection should strengthen the wobblies as well.

Congrats to ABs and well played Oz. they never gave up and showed great heart. Ewen can do better  in his selections so there is still room for improvment. 
Better hold onto second place Boks as Beeno said Wobblies are getting better.

  @redsman,
don't you realize how pathetic you look writting all that nonsense.
Learn from your countryman

@beeno,
before opening your big mouth I would wait till tonight. Let see if the boks are able to stop the argies

Vamos Argentina!!!! enseñadles a estas gacelillas lo que v ale un peine

Brycy dont get carried away. Remember how much better the Wobblies were last week. So they had a poor outing barring about 15 minutes or so where they got on top and scored two good tries. 
Wobblies didnt mentally turn up.
Mitchell agrees with Beeno - a number of wobblies selections are wrong. Messed up Warts combinations.  But saying wobblies can take heart from better performance for a period in second half.Mitchell says not all gloom for wobblies as that 20 minutes showed. Agree Foley at flyhalf and Beale at center.

 Bean Brain not very often do we put 50 points on our big brother over the Tasman....looks like Redsmans totally devastated - too funny...  and i have to confess to taking a wee flutter on the Argies this week...sorry about that but they're paying $5 head to head so temptation got the better of me...

 @beeno,

"Wobblies didnt mentally turn up."
"they had a poor outing barring about 15 minutes or so where they got on top and scored two good tries"
"a number of wobblies selections are wrong"
"wobblies can take heart from better performance for a period in second half."..............................

so, the All Blacks didn't play today or what?

 Looking forward to hearing Cloudy's account of the game. Hopefully she didn't faint when she saw McCaw come onto the field or when he scored all those tries

 Yes JW no doubt Cloudy was dazzled by wee mcaaaw flopping oveer the line at the back of a driving maul. Simply brilliant of course. 
Ab ass one plonker, I think it was JW, was in awe of the scrumming power of the abs when they got the penalty try. I had obviolsy to point out that it was against 7 men and noted how that power evaporated the first next scrum the wobblies had when back to 8 men.Moral of the story - dont get carried away kbbs - the Wobblies were badly off song as their attrocious handling showed. They gifted you points.
Brycy my friend as long as its a wee flutter no great harm done. A lesson learnt on the cheap.
Yes looking forward to some real rugby later on. This netballing somehow doesnt do it for me. It's too dainty. I mean watching Carol Jane and Beau strutting their stuff.  Pleeease what is rugby coming too!! Throw in the dainty crude etc and the dancing wee ben. My oh my rugby men of yore must be turning in their graves wondering what is hapening to the beautiful game.

 But far, far be it for me to ever be churlish. The wee abs were the better side and deserved to win. Often this is of course not the case.
Beeno as objective as ever. 

Beeno: Boks have to settle on their selections. The selections against the Argies were in many cases experimental. 
Boks should win by scoring say 50 points against the no. 12 team in the world. If ABs can do it against the number 3 team then it should be a piece of cake.
Boks fans should thank the ABs for keeping Wobblies down because this ensures the Boks can hang onto thier no. 2 ranking. Your're welcome!!

 JW these Argies are far better than their ranking. However I am expecting a solid win.If the Argies drop the ball all the time like the Wobblies we will reach a 100.
Boks have no interest in number 2 ranking. The number 1 ranking is what we are af ter so move aside wee abs!

Beeno: 100 points!! That's a big call. Wobblies dropped the ball so o ften because of the pressure of the ABs. Usually the wobblies are good ball handlers.

 Well then red-tahs-luvin' dude i ya'll hate the ruggers so much why dont you just stick to that other indigenous ,ahem Footy code " or aussie rools" The only code you can guarantee to win ,lucky we dont care are'nt you ?Hahahahaha! suck redsip sip . Commiserations mr Claydog [ I actually have nothing against the Wobs, even went to Suncorp and barracked for them vs the Boks last year ! unlike red-dik who is a secret tahs and bok fan or indeed anyone playing the ABS ]

  Amen to you commiserations to glaydog wardad. Wobblies showed they have heart & they just had a bad day (AB pressure and pace was a main cause). 
Wobblies still have room for growth & they also can do better with their selections. They will give the 2nd place team (Boks) a good run for their money.

 Lets not move into fantasy rugby JW. The wobblies dropped the ball without any help from wee abs. Abs adapt better to the damper conditions than wobblies.
Barked is the word more appropriate warped DUD!He Cloudy gets home and is sober etc!
