Very good cyclo. Poor old 3M :)

Head first into the tackle on 3M it was. Still down after try was scored

I like that first picture Rassie, is what Michael Hooper doing beyond the ruck in the spirit of the game....

Not sure what your definition of rolled over is because there was no rolling over. I'm certainly not defending anything, just trying to understand what happens perhaps without the hyperbole of others..... Check it out from 10:54-11:10

By your reckoning Srcubber, the 'refs' must be intimidated by the Aussies as well given no yellow against Hooper and Simmons for so called deliberate penalties. IMO its a massive stretch to say any ref is intimidated by one team. This isn't soccer where there are standover tactics, crowding...

He did say something though, it's just not audible through the mic. Just watched it a couple of times (NZ feed) and there was definitely some talk. There is no double movement but you aren't allowed to crawl with the ball after you've been tackled either

3. Fardy 2. Folau 1. Hooper 0.5 - Lilo/JOC (James O'Connor)

IS, where did Peyper speculate? He seemed quite certain in that any advantage was over as a result of something that happened and then brought it back to the original penalty.

OKay in the 1st test, outstanding in the 2nd, anonymous in the 3rd is how I'd describe his series.

One missed tackle is hardly in the suspect realm. He hasn't hit the lowly stations of Rok or Sivi just yet.... Thought he defended extremely well in the 1st half with nothing getting down his channel, but that miss was a complete misread and then he tried to make up for it by going high which...

And it's only Sunday.....

i understand your context and have already made comments previously on the Wallabies lack of composure so i don't feel I need to repeat myself. I agree that Horwill and Genia, the two foremost leaders in the team get all shirty when things aren't going their way and I think this just fires up...

And most importantly, the Ref didn't boo Cooper :)

I thought the Aussies were pretty good at exploiting Peyper's lack of controlling the offside line and hence putting a lot of pressure on A. Smith, Taylor and Nonu. Hooper in particular was all over them.

Don't think anyone is claiming the ABs were awesome tonight at all. Plenty of criticism on a NZ forum directed towards the play of Dagg and Nonu, our poor lineout in the first half for instance. But as a few others have pointed out there are some serious concerns for the Wallabies and their...

I can hear that police siren now, it's got an awfully familiar sound of a whiney fan after a loss :) Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that no one has mentioned Simmons cynical play about 10m from the AB try line where he came in from the side off his feet and just grabbed the ball that was...

Any standouts for Eddies armchair?

I'd suggest that Mowen wouldn't be in the starting XV if Pocock and Higgers were fit, but he is next cab off the rank so is rightly in the side IMO. He has looked lethargic the last 2 tests. The Wallaby attack just seems unorganised to my eye. Guys to slow to get back in position, players...

I think you'll find that NZ are current holders of the Constellation Cup, last winners of the World Netball Series, inaugural winners of the Fast 5 World Series. 2013 Constellation cup coming up in the next month or so. As far as rugby rivalry goes, most NZers I know still hold the Boks as...

Sure thing
