Australia v NZ. Bledisloe Cup Series 2024. Sep 21, Sep 28

[Tomikin]

Send Fisher back to the Brumbies, again showing his systems don't work at this level.

Don't think him and Larkham are best coaching buddies.

At least its half time

The consequences of not playing a world class rush defence.

Jeez the ABs can score points, but they leak a few as well. Their defence on the edges of the ruck is a worry if you are an ABs fan.

Sam Cane is on the field so you are wrong by definition.
- NZ rugby ""pundits""

 

[ACR]

Maybe the NRL bunker got lost and ended up at Accor?

Like honestly. Firstly in South Africa they don't even look at the dude dropping the ball while scoring, now they overturn a try based on what? Doesn't it have to be conclusive to come back, so what has the TMO actually seen!??? Gross incompetence.

FIFY

Do we actually have any forwards onb the field other than Fraser?

Look, the call was BS - but do you really think it means anything at all?

I'm beginning to get on the fly the second rows in from overseas. Williams has been below average, falls off tackles and can't control a restart.

Frost has been busy and his engine has meant we've had support but he needs a better partner.

Absolutely no bloody idea why our backs think we need to immediately go out the back. Possession would be key right now.

 

[The Red Baron]

lol Justin Harrison defending the passive defence.

 

[griffins]

Valetini is getting shredded in defence. He’s a target

Normally a massive fan of Len but something is going on with the centres, they got caught defending next to each other quite a lot in phase play. Left valetini exposed defending the channel one of them should have been in.

Whatever we do in stepping forward, it starts and finishes with the pack.

Still can't work out why Ryan Smith didn't get a look in after his super rugby season, also Darcy Swain would give the side some much needed aggression (he has started to learn to control it as well).

Our backline is low IQ, and it causes so many poor reads in attack and defence.

 

[KOB1987]

Absolute fucking clown behaviour. How the fuck does a TMO intervene when it's clear as fucking day he doesn't knock it on. World Rugby needs a kick up the arse.

Welcome to our world

I think Paisami might be cause of a few of those issues. He's been lost in his positioning a few times now.

I don't know man. Despite how the game looks, it's only a 14 point difference. + I think as I've got older I've got grumpier, not a good sign.

Cron "Defence? Yeah we need some."

The ABs have constantly been the beneficiaries of poor reefs over time

Speaking of backline iq, where was Kellaway on that Caleb Clarke try? We had Noah and Wright trying to cover it.

Lack of rugby IQ permeates all levels of professional rugby in Australia.

 

[Shiggins]

watching MK when we have a better winger who could be playing is frustrating. tooles pace would have been essential in a few of those plays and he wouldn't just drop the ball cold.

stupid mistakes are costing the wallabies on the score board. Abz first try looked like a clear obstruction to me. worth a look anyway

Buy you a beer if teh Wallabies are within 14 at FT. I'm with you though, that was a BS ref call.
