Australia v New Zealand - Sydney 16 Aug

[Shiggins]

What times kick off?

 

[lemoen]

Hi, so you guys had something about a live chat during the last super rugby matches going on, that still on for this game?

 

[maxdacat]

Well. This has probably been discussed ad nauseoum on here but anyway I need to vent my spleen.

Beale at 10?! Seriously?!

What the fuck is Ewen McKenzie thinking ?

.

Last minute switcheroo maybe?

 

[lemoen]

What times kick off?

12pm SA time, so in 30mins?

So the NZ ref in charge of the Lions/Waikato game today is not an expert. Ruled a double movement to deny a try to a Lions prop (I think). Both TMO and ref, as well as the NZ commentary team, referred to a double movement. I know the laws don't make any mention, but it seems to be becoming an accepted term for a player not releasing and unlawfully advancing the ball over the tryline.

I wouldn't call him an expert as he is green. I was genuinely surprised when he used the term and had to check one of my kids hadn't switched to Foxsports 1 to the NRL.

 

[Shiggins]

Ah ok. Thought it was 530

 

[Scoey]

What times kick off?

8pm eastern mate.

What times kick off?

In about two hours time Shiggins. 10 pm Sydney time. Its an experiment. Really late game.
Looking forward to you logging in and give your unbiased and fair comments.

 

[Shiggins]

Cheers.

Frank we shall see

 

[FrankLind]

Cheers.

Frank we shall see

Oh, I can't lie to you. 8pm Sydney time, not 10pm.
Get ready, it's going to be a ripper.

i do not like rain on my haka,

 

[maxdacat]

Exactly. I like the look of our backrow,

Has any body ever been worried at all about the aussie back row? plenty of other positions have given us concern over the years eg centre, 5/8, front row but flankers & 8?

 

[Scoey]

I don't know about anyone else but I am experiencing two things distinctly different to the lead up to just about every recent Bledisloe Cup match.
Firstly, I wouldn't say I'm confident of a wallabies win but I'm not confident that the All Blacks will beat us if that makes sense.
The second is, I have that 'Michael Hooper Adam Ashley-Cooper' song on high rotation in my head.
Weird.

didn't Bobby Darrin make a song about that?

Nope that's probably our best backrow in a long time.. Doesn't mean it stacks up but it will have a crack

 

[maxdacat]

Gordo has laryngitis?

 

[Bardon]

Really looking forward to this one. Been a long time since the Wallabies went into a Beldisloe with some real belief. Should be a cracker of a game.

 

[maxdacat]

Not a bad anthem these kiwis have.
