I think that we will see plenty of the 15 over the years to come somehow

He's a standout.

Looks like a bit like Justin Marshall too.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Last scrum before the break the right sided lock had so little contact with the arse of the THP that he was able to detach before the 8 had left the scene.
Repeat of the oz tactics at Newlands in avoiding touch early on.
If NZ stop dropping the ball we will be in even bigger trouble.

NZL error rate is keeping us in the game.

I think that we will see plenty of the 15 over the years to come somehow

theirs or ours?

 

[Joe King]

Are there any big plans in the pipeline for schoolboy rugby in Aus, does anyone know? Any new competitions (15's or 7's), new plans to better select players or anything like that?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

36 minutes. NZL penalised 40 metres out, centre field for not releasing tackled player. Goddard lines up a kick.
Duck broken.
NZL 17 AUS 3.

 

[Brian Westlake]

theirs or ours?

Theirs... Just seems to have time with ball in hand

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The SIZE of the NZL prop on the bench. 17 years old and 135kg.

Silly play by AUS #7. Where did he think the referee was???

 

[Brian Westlake]

would that have been a "schoolboy mistake"?

That really was a schoolboy error, that hand in the scrum

 

[Hugh Jarse]

#1 Bradford subbed off and #16 G Luka on. 40 minutes gone.

 

[Newbie]

The breeze is obviously a clear factor here gents!

Go Oz!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

#4 NZL injured. Subbed by #19. 45 min
NZL #9 Nock gets his second meat pie after an oh so typical kiwi halfback sniping run close to the ruck.

Guess who converts from 10 metres to the left of the posts? (#15 NZL)

NZL 24 AUS 3. 46 minutes gone.

 

[aka_the_think]

24 - 3

 

[Hugh Jarse]

AUS finally get some meat to #13 Perese, 15 metres from touch on the left side.

He does an excellent tinkle toes dance to the line, slipping through/past about 4 tacklers.

Goddard has found his kicking boots, and adds the extras.

NZL 24 AUS 10. 49 minutes.

 

[aka_the_think]

Great try to #13 Perese 24 - 8

 

[Hugh Jarse]

#9 off for NZL. #21 on, and ? off for #23 NZL.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

#7 AUS using hands in breakdown (another schoolboy error ).

NZL #15 lines up PK from the 22m line 18m from their touch and is successful.

NZL replace their props #1 and #3. The earth shakes. NZL 27 AUS 10. 52 minutes.

 

[ACT Crusader]

#9 off for NZL. #21 on, and ? off for #23 NZL.

I think one of the wingers went off.

Two new props now on for NZ

Trainor nails the penalty.

27-10

 

[aka_the_think]

Try to #7 Aus.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

AUS #7 redeems himself with a sneaky meat pie just to the left of the chopsticks.

Goddard converts.

NZL 27 AUS 17. 55 minutes gone.
