Australia v New Zealand - Sydney 16 Aug

[Dismal Pillock]

Hooper didnt seem too worrying last time at this level. But maybe thats cos he was following Pocock who was a HUGE pest. Maybe it was more a case of "jeezus, thank christ that bastard is gone".

Beale at 1st 5, who cares, if the AB 8 do the business they could have Benny Hill there for all the good it'd do them, going backwards, shit ball, bobbling around, oh fuvk just kick it out

Aus denied NZ the winning streak record last time, suspect the bleck side might come out with bloodmurder on the brain this time...

"Come on ya big ugly prick, just give us back the fuckin' Bledisloe. For old time's sake."
"Oh sorry, my mum says I can't eh."

Hooper looks like he is crying and wants his toys back.

 

[Bairdy]

Hooper to rampage over Richie a la Cian Healy.

Hooper looks like he is crying and wants his toys back.

He looks a little different from this bloke there:

 

[Redsman]

2 questions:

1. Whos kicking for the wallabies? White?

2. Whos the ref? Please be Barnes...!!!!

 

[KOB1987]

1. White and/or Beale one would think
2. Peyper

 

[Redsman]

peyper... answer me - WHY is it the kiwis ALWAYS get the same refs....?????

Definitely rigged.............................. :\

 

[TahDan]

Definitely rigged.......... :\

I know right? Why fucking Peyper he's a pedant and doesn't know how to let the game flow or play an advantage longer than a millisecond

I think he's more incompetent than pedantic.
Just guesses at scrums which is bad for us: we will pay the price for perception

 

[Scoey]

Comparing Hooper to Pocock on form is a futile exercise. From a purely head fucking point of view though, Pocock is miles in front.
I reckon if you gave the AB's and Saffas the option to remove one name from the Wallabies team sheet and Pocock's would be first picked every day of the week and twice on game day.
As great a player as Hooper is (and that's pretty fantastic) I don't think he'll ever command the same respect from the oppo as Pocock did and hopefully will again.

 

[Redsman]

Peyper doesn't see that repeated infringing in ABs 22 should be a yellow card... a blatant cheating tactic employed by the AIGs...

pathetic really - Aussies cop the same ref v the ABs its like its rigged?!??!?!!?!?

Is this a gee up? It's just usually we wait until after we've lost to start blaming the ref and the lack of yellow cards.

 

[FilthRugby]

Is Peyper really that bad? I mean, he does keep the cards away, but he's better than Poite.

I would prefer Joubert to anyone, but I don't think it'll be an overly crucial factor.

 

[Redsman]

I figure if you put it out thee in the world of public opinion... ie blogs - may weigh more on the refs mind come match day....

I least I like to think that -_-

He was the ref last year in kiwi land when the week before joubert didn't go the card for CHEATING tactics...

PUT IT OUT THERE I SAY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[ChargerWA]

Blaming the ref before the game, Poor form. Suck it up you pussies and lets beat them toe to toe. Don't throw in the towel mid week.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I agree Charger. Three times!

 

[Redsman]

3xs for emphasis - no blame here buddy just facts and history...

ANSWER me then - why do the ABs v Australia only ever (in recent games) get one of three refs...?? and never barnes??

 

[qwerty51]

Veldsman shouldn't be allowed to be a TMO until he can communicate in English proficiently

 

[Pfitzy]

Veldsman shouldn't be allowed to be a TMO until he can communicate in English proficiently

Veldsman versus Ayoub in a TMO contest - everyone loses.

In the last 3 years (since 12 Aug 2011) the Wallabies have played the AB's 8 times.
The refs have been Barnes, Joubert (4 times), Rolland, Owens and Peyper.

Because you're a facts and history man, you're welcome.
