Terrible defensive alignment by NZ, but again great build up by oZ. 27-24 NZ

Good build up by Oz and they get a try

I think one of the wingers went off. Two new props now on for NZ Trainor nails the penalty. 27-10

That really was a schoolboy error, that hand in the scrum

17-0 HT

Going upstairs looks in touch

Was impressed by the winger to winger pass in that NZ try. Trainor misses the penalty. 14-0

Is she back in the country? Has she been on the TV? Were cameras waiting at the airport for her arrival? Who knows where she is? But we would know every movement of KB (Kurtley Beale) had he come home.

How do you know it would be the right thing to do? It may be serious. Just because she works for a high profile organisation should not eliminate her right to remove herself from a situation.

Or perhaps Patston didn't want to remain on tour and be a distraction and provide unwanted tension by being around in the lead up to a test match. She won't be bugged by media by coming home, whereas if KB (Kurtley Beale) was sent home there would be media scrums at Mascot waiting.

Unfortunately Mike Doyles LinkedIn profile is not so comprehensive.....

As long as Di "allegedly went to uni (unverified), worked at either CMC or AFMC, close to Link, allegedly doesn't stand for nonsense" Patston isn't to blame.....

Not when he first hit the test scene. In 03-04 many commentators were putting him in their world XVs with MJ

TWAS I think you are over reacting in relation to Sharpe. If you're reflecting on Sharpe then you may wish to recall that he did spend time as one of the top 2 or 3 locks in the world. He wasn't the complete bonehead of a player you are making out. The guy was also seen as a positive role...

On the 'Link running training' part of this story, is that confirmed? I'm assuming that this was the first get together post the flight, where team management want the players to stay awake somewhat, get the cobwebs out etc. If the Wallabies are anything like the ABs, these are not rugby...

There has been a lot of volatility in the selection of the Wallaby 12 over the past decade. A quick scan of those selected to start at 12 against the ABs since 2004 are: To'omua Lilo Barnes McCabe Ant. Finger Giteau AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Mortlock Medicare Mat Pukunui For the same period the ABs have started...

If it's half as good as 2013 I'll be satisfied. That 2013 test saw some fantastic attacking and brutal defensive rugby.

Just watching the replay of the NZ Baabaas vs OZ and was a pretty entertaining game. Lots of endeavour shown from both sides. And a bit of feeling out there too. The NZ B's 13, 14 and 15 looked like a trio of big units.

You mentioned Nonu in your point so not really. But yes the ABs do have plenty of direct running in the midfield when those other 3 are playing. Not so much when Nonu has played this season.

Agree. The ABs use Savea in that direct running in traffic role. I also think the midfield is not the issue Australian fans should be overly concerned with.
