"Different gate than I like"

Well played, Kafer

Richie couldn't help himself lol

The rain has stopped & we held onto the ball better in that last bit of play. Keep that up Wallabies.

See! Rain stops & Beale slots the penalty. On the up.

 

[USARugger]

AB kicking game has been excellent. Just giving the backrow and chasers targets. It's not the day for playing behind the gain line, and Beale doesn't have the game management at 10. I'd bring Foley in and shift Beale out one. Will give Wallabies greater flexibility.

Nonu was chasing kicks in the 1st half like Shag has his entire family tied up in the shed!

Lucky Peyper explained to Richie coz he has only been playing for 20 odd years.

 

[A mutterer]

What we've seen so far is poor strategy and execution. I'd be hoping for changes at the 50 mark.

 

[Shiggins]

Ah Shiggins - you live in a wonderful world.

Really? Abs had the run the first 30. No doubt. It evened up though.

 

[gbp]

He's the top South African ref that's why he gets intl games

 

[mark_s]

I don't know what to make of this match . I think we are poor but the abs aren't scoring points either

 

[Pokinacha]

Ritchie still unsure of the rules...

 

[Marcelo]

HUGE tackle by To'omua!!!

 

[Bairdy]

Are we playing the All Blacks or England
Could swear we were playing the Poms with the amount of kicking.

Where is Joubert from?

 

[Bardon]

Difference between the kicking of both sides is huge. ABs being very clever and kicking on their own terms causing pressure. Wobs on the other hand are almost always kicking under pressure and giving the advantage back to NZ.

 

[A mutterer]

White needs to atop kicking from the base.

 

[Marcelo]

I don't know what to make of this match . I think we are poor but the abs aren't scoring points either

Although Beale at 10, the lads have a great opportunity tonight

 

[Shiggins]

Does piper know the offside rules at scrums? Keeping white off the ball?

 

[boyo]

Both Footy Franks on.

The All Blacks always kick often, especially in the wet. The short kicking is proving the perfect strategy this game.

 

[Shiggins]

Don't forget the conditions
