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

[Karl]

Can't believe how we're so close.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Good kick Barnsy! 13-18, score really flatters us though.

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Wonder whom for the Wallabies have black armbands?

2 NZ soilders killed during the week, All Blacks have them on too.

 

[Karl]

Be nice if they contested a lineout

 

[XVProps]

My five year old just told me he's going for the black team. I'm just going off to pack his bags now!

 

[Ash]

Horne needs some awareness on attack. That inside ball to a surprised and static Pocock was never the right option.

 

[Karl]

Gary's online, pain away and bottle mart get their money's worth in a great panning shot

Deans?

 

[Ash]

Good hustle from Timani and Higgers from that kick off.

Sensible lad

 

[Nusadan]

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

But this time, there's no lead to lose in the last ten minutes!

The only thing making this game tolerable (aside from Alcohol) is the funny comments on this thread. Eases the pain.

 

[Karl]

Why do we have a kicker where 40 meters out is "just within range"

 

[Ash]

There has been quite a few technical calls from Rolland for the lineouts.

Interesting that Harris was 23rd man ahead of Cooper. Hints that Cooper really is on the outer with Deans.

 

[Ash]

Big block on Horne for that break.

 

[Karl]

Twice we've been saved from crap chase and worse defence by a wayward pass

Still too early for me to have a beer, being in Scotland, off for a run after this, it means some serious self flagellating to be done in light of what's happening!

 

[Ash]

Come on Robbie use that bench.

Moore and Slipper would be good starts.

 

[Karl]

So Cooper is not injured and not in the side.

Dean is a fucking idiot.

 

[Ash]

Retallick on. Had a Super season for the Chiefs.
