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

[Ash]

Wow I can't believe that Rlland to blow that penalty on McCaw.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Fantastic kick Berrick!

 

[Ash]

It took Rolland so long even.

 

[Ash]

And that's the game folks. Wallabies unstructured and clueless in attack.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

And that is the game. We just kept losing ground & more ground even in attack. ABs too good. Us not good enough.

 

[Ash]

Meanwhile, 2 of the 5 forwards remain fairly unused. Why risk not carrying an inside back if you don't use them!

 

[Jiggles]

If we'd had picked our pack on form we would've won this game

 

[rsea]

Get the KY ready for Eden Park

This mob couldnt win bingo

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nick Phipps performs exactly as expected.

The ABs have owned the ruck tonight. Quick ball their way all night and slow ball for us. Combined with our mistakes, it hasn't been near as close as what the scoreboard would suggest. Its only been a lack of finishing from the ABs that has kept us in it. Carter to have a kick to deny us a bonus point.

 

[XVProps]

Rubbish. Ordinary! And then I'll start on the referee!

 

[FrankLind]

McCaw > Pocock

 

[Schadenfreude]

And that is the difference between NZ and Wales.

 

[Karl]

And another shit scrum costs us a point in the championship.

Wtf are they doing about the weak. Fat. Unskilled twats in our scrum?

 

[Ash]

Barnes and Genia offer little structure in attack, and our forwards are just as bad. Too slow to realign and offer a good option.

I would drop Robinson, TPN and Timani to the bench, Higgers too if Palu is available. In the backs, bring in Cooper damnit.

But Deans will do none of this.

Watching the forwards from the ABs, their work rate, fitness and precision is just so much better.

 

[rsea]

Rubbish. Ordinary! And then I'll start on the referee!

Forget the ref. blame our squad. Men Vs boy STILL!!!

 

[Mr Doug]

In good news we have shut SBW down pretty well.

Shut him down? The guy is a fraud, a posser, he's not a test player, when will some of you people accept this?

 

[Schadenfreude]

I thought the ref was pretty good. Missed a few professional obstructions, but very few refs catch them.

No pack on this planet can compete with this lot. By all means pick another 8 but you will see the same thing.

They are at another level at the moment.

We are all playing ketchup.
