Why a Wallabies win over the All Blacks wouldn't be a shock
Should the All Blacks beat the Wallabies? Yes, they should, but it feels like that every time. It's been three years since their last win.

The knife isn't falling, it's just getting longer.
Anyway, we're not playing for sheep stations here, just adding a little spice.
My mate who is hosting on Saturday night said this about the evening:
"I'll supply some chips and dips and beer, and propose pizzas to arrive when the rugby starts looking grim. So, say quarter past 8."

You watch them when they win (2002 and prior), you watch them when they loose (the last 21yrs) because at the end of the day they're your team and country.
All I can say, is when we do finally win it will be sweet. Though the two game series format sure does make it hard with an inconsistent team - like the Wallabies have been over the recent years.

TBH we only held it for a few years in the late 90’s and early 2000’s because of two game series, only had to win one to retain the Bledisloe. Seems like a dream now!

Thing about rugby pass: the hint is in the name. "pass" it by

Check the record under Wayne Barnes as well. Also the record at home against NZ at home in RWC years.

Maybe there's hope...
The record at home in RWC years is inflated of late because they generally rest players right? They definitely haven’t this game.

Interesting that prior to the TRC people, me included, were wondering if Carter was going to get any time at all as he would be behind Cooper & Foley. He would only goto the RWC if we took 3 10s etc. Now he’s starting in a Bled for a chance to be first picked for the RWC, not too bad.
im really hoping that Ikitau’s injury stole a good victory from us last time round and we’re much better than that Argentina performance, it was just hidden by a lot of players out of position.

You seem to know more about dinosaurs than Rugby. Get back to me when you've thrown your toy Dino's away.

True. Getting up for one game has often been possible.

Hi Dru, there are a couple of observations re your reply. First, these guys are training nearly every day and if they cannot organise themselves in 2 weeks of intensive training (after our D was shown up against Argentina), then we have the dumbest bunch of players on the planet.
My second point is that the guy who told me this, during a couple of training sessions in the D was Les Kiss and I am guessing he knows more about defence than 99% of people on this site.

It sounds like a bit of a throwaway line to try rev the players up a bit.
In a team sport, attitude and technique are nothing without organisation; similarly, organisation is nothing without attitude and technique.
