NZ getting all the 50/50 decisions which is no real surprise. Great start by the Wallabies on both sides of the ball, Ainsley crumbled in the scrum which lead to first All Black points.

What should we expect when the hooker is just days back from playing overseas. TPN should nevefr have been in the starting lineup, and perhaps not even on the bench. Where's the combinations we strive to get when a player gets a start who hasn't even been here?
Their lineout has been pretty shit since that comment was made

It's not just our throws though. We had wrong numbers at one point. Lifters havent been good either.

But yes a true throw would help.

Yes agree. BUT I'm glad he wasn't. Rugby is or should be 15 on 15. It was not a big enough transgression for fans to see the game skewed.

Oh same. For consistency's sake though, I don't see how he didn't yellow him. I don't mind yellows, too many Red's these days.

BTW the "Hodge at 13 is a weak spot" has not come true.

I think Australia are really missing one of the K's to cart it into the teeth of the defence (or at least fix the defence) on the first phase. They are trying to play the second line of attack off the first phase and without a dominant runner hitting that inside line to put the defence in two minds. Hodge isn't that man. They are getting too easily picked off behind the gain line.

Agree that Rugby is 15-15 but you can take the position that the law should be changed but at the same time agree that the laws should be upheld as they are for consistency during the game.

Ainsley is quite poor in the scrum, but they were also poor before he came on. Sadly, Kepu is now past his use by date and should sit on the bench or miss out altogether if Tupou makes it back for the later tests.

Tui has been disappointing. Some good things and some bad, but overall disappointing. DHP ditto.
