2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 Australia vs New Zealand - 18 August

[Paradox]

How does a Palmer, Moore, Slipper front row sound? Dreaming i know.

They might do something around the pitch and at the breakdown

 

[Karl]

We are lucky to be within 20 points.

Nothing in attack, slack defence, catch and pass looks like they're all over .08 (hope no-one is driving back to the hotel), scrum is shite, rookie errors and basic mistakes.

The coaches need a slapping. Failing to execute is a player issue, (selectors?) but they just don't look prepared or able to deal with shit that at this level should be expected and well within their ability to cope.

I can't remember a worse half from a Wallaby team in a bledisloe since 2003. Mistake after mistake. Andrew Slack called it reserve grade stuff and I think he is being generous.

 

[Slim 293]

I'm glad TPN and Timani are there for their destructive something something.........

And Barnes.........

 

[Schadenfreude]

Fingers up for catching boys. If only there was someone employed to teach rugby skills.

 

[Dark Shark]

Great pass to Sharpie from Genia as well. Funny seeing Beale blow up in the background for Sharpe not passing.

Yeah, I thought that was funny too. Like he expected to hold onto the ball this time.... Seriously, a bit of a farcical reaction from Beale.

 

[rsea]

I feel like I'm watching the waratah season again.

At least we could laugh at that

 

[FrankLind]

You guys are still in this - just an 8 point gap.

 

[kiap]

Very lucky to be only 8 down.

Same old shit as the last 12 months, except worse. Behind the advantage line. One-out running from the forwards and nary a backline move to be found.

 

[Ash]

How long before Robbie goes to the bench?

Slipper and Moore need to come on ASAP. Hooper and Simmons soon after maybe.

Geez, Cooper would have been nice at least on the bench right now.

 

[Mr Doug]

Memo to Dingo Deans........Mrs Doug says, get rid of KB (Kurtley Beale), move 2-dads to full back and put her beloved Drew on the wing.....sounds ok to me!!

 

[mark_s]

Simmons on for Timani, good call

 

[Karl]

Can someone slap a Jersey on John Eales? He looks like he's still in decent shape and he's got more heart and drive than I've seen out of most of the forwards so far.

Fucking lazy arse forwards. Fumble fingered backs.

Come on lads. Put that crap behind you and play like your social media feeds suggests you can.

 

[Dark Shark]

Good way to start the second half - knock on

 

[Karl]

Why is cooper not out there??

 

[rsea]

Beautiful kick from berrick there. Superstar quality stuff.....

 

[Slim 293]

Barnes....... again.........

 

[Karl]

Big hit on pocock.fuck

I read this comment to my Ma, she laughed her arse off, cheers - she's been pretty depressed watching this so far.

Good stuff from Pocock driving the ABs over the side line. Reid then gets one back.

 

[Nusadan]

Wonder whom for the Wallabies have black armbands?
