Bledisloe 1: 29 July @ MCG

[qwerty51]

He's still not my preferred 7 by Hooper has been better than McReight and his namesake immensely so far.

 

[Shiggins]

That's better from Gordan

 

[tighthead show and go]

They were talking about the play before that led to the penalty i thought?
Otherwise it wouldn’t be Australian scrum

Yeah realised my mistake. Thought the TMO said 12 when meant 11

 

[Ignoto]

Fuck that's a harsh yellow on Marika. Makes the tackle, gets up, All Blacks lose it in the ruck so it's general play no?

 

[qwerty51]

Another ref would red Valetini here

Ruck was formed so offside

He’s been decent, but pretty ineffectual at rucks imo

The ruck that the ball came out of created the offside line

He has been good but also significantly aided by the rest of the pack showing up. Won't be surprised if he shifts to 6 next week with (M)Hooper/McReight/Gleeson coming in.

Yeah but up against even quicker cleaners this time, we're talking milliseconds here but I think he's slowing their ball just that extra bit with more bodies needing to clean him, generally 2 rather than 1.

 

[Pokinacha]

Barnes showing Bez, BOK and others what an international standard ref is

 

[qwerty51]

Bell down with a foot injury. Just end me now.

 

[Shiggins]

Talea was miles in touch and then passes it and wallabies knock into touch. Hahaha.

 

[Wilson]

Skelton has been good but his ability to go the distance is very questionable, he's looking pretty tired already. Wouldn't mind seeing him play the back 50 off the bench instead of the front 60.

 

[Shiggins]

There's 5 points to the all blacks when it should have been a wallaby line out. Really bad call by the touchie.

 

[Pokinacha]

Who decides to play a Bledisloe in a city where there are more Kiwi’s than Auckland?

 

[rugbyAU]

what a shit kick off

 

[tighthead show and go]

Gordon’s kicking is proving costly.

 

[KOB1987]

Carter Gordon certainly hasn’t nailed the starting spot just yet.

 

[Shiggins]

Wallabies shouldn't be able to win this game. With kicking like that
