Earliest known image of what would eventually become known as an All Black in possession of what would eventually become known as/ evolve into the Bledisloe Cup. Good find @Sully .

Watching this game in Te Anau only 3 hours from Dunedin. Shame I couldn't get there while on holiday.

These neck rolls are comical haha

 

[Wilson]

Good to see the refs focusing on the neck rolls after the law changes

 

[Derpus]

Lol TJ throws the ball forward and demands play be stopped because his knee got a bit sore. Next minute hes fine and the ABs somehow get the feed? Make that make sense.

 

[zer0]

That was brain dead af. Should've just ended the half after a few phases going nowhere.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

LOL NZ flitting around like mental fireflies inside their own half, 6 million fancy passes and fuckall to show for it.

Eng, sit back, 2 chances to score in the half, take em both.

Still, at least Perofuture is doing The Scintillating and Sextanting

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Fucking A @zer0, I was saying "out is good" from about 39:45.

 

[zer0]

Things I want to see:

- Perofuture: scything and sextanting.

Looking good in the first half.

Same can't be said for Rieko.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Rieko kind of terrible.



ps these new jerseys FFFS.

"FEAR ME FOR I AM LEGEND, GOOD SIR.
GRRR, VERY VERY SCARY."​

Didn’t you hear the refs explanation?

He said that TJ only knocked it on because he got injured. This makes sense because the All Blacks don’t make mistakes unless something unfair happens to them. To return balance to the universe, the ball must therefore be given back.

That’s rugby.

I cannot make sense of that call. If TJ had of blown out his knee and left the field then it might have been fair enough for the ref to have ruled the ball dead from the moment he was hurt, but as it stands he lost the ball before the whistle was blown and was fine to continue.

It's entirely down to refs interpretation, but if Finau was to skewer Smith (legally) and see him knock the ball on the English would be well with in their rights to be asking for the feed in the scrum, which would also be patently ridiculous. I can't see how they can apply that sort of interpretation consistently.

 

[Shiggins]

How is that worth 3 points in a test match. What a joke

Edit

Rugby gods gif justice

 

[Wilson]

I think we are seeing the difference being well into your international season, compared to first game of the year and first game with a new coach for the ABs.

Makes me wish we had have booked in a warm up game last weekend.

 

[The Chairman]

Gee Mitchell has an absolute rocket of a pass of the deck…

 

[Pokinacha]

It’s not often I find myself going for ol’ blighty… my 50% English blood is up.

 

[zer0]

Good old popgun Beauden. Might be okay for the All Blacks but not going to cut it for the killdozer.

 

[Equalizer]

AB's missing Sititi and Hoskins.

 

[Wilson]

Reckon Aumua has made a big difference since coming on, generating a lot of go forward out of nothing.

 

[zer0]

Reece has really been channeling 2011 Richard Kahui off these high kicks. tbf to Christie, the kicks have been good as well, save for the last one that was only 1m off.
