Bledisloe #4 New Zealand vs Australia Nov 7 2020

Love Hooper's shout out for Slipper, let the man loose on the valley tonight, iconic.

I was freaking out about Bell's scrummaging when Slipper went off. He surprised and had some solid runs as well. Looks a bit small though.

 

[TSR]

Very happy for Lolesio. Thought he was good in his time on the field.

Hope Slippers injury isn’t too bad.

Cane giving him a bottle of Red was pretty classy too.

Yeah he's the quiet story of tonight, nothing flashy but a cauldron to be thrown into and did well, wouldn't have blinked if you said he'd played 30 caps already.

love that rugbgy moment with cane and slipper

I was very concerned they were throwing him in too soon, but he’ll be very good in the long run.

Paisami was pretty damn solid at 12 too. Defense wasn't an issue at all which was my concern, and he was threatening in attack. Plus can kick.

 

[ACR]

Just out of interest, what is the TMO allowed to butt in for these days? I thought it was just for foul play. Seems like they pipe up for normal decisions too.

Haha fuck, Hodge found out he was playing flyhalf on Thursday morning. The ultimate supersub.

In Australia, we actually have the SSC, the Specific Scott Cam, just follows that muppet around all game till he fucks up.

I heard the ref asking him to check things numerous times. Not sure they are all random injections, but I could be wrong.

Match Prediction: Straya will be a red hot go in this one. AB's to dick around with rest/rotation

I think if the ref asks.

I like it. Fewer decisions you get frustrated about later.

It wasn't as pretty as I'd like, but boy it's a nice feeling to get one over the All Blacks. Really not a polished performance from them, but credit to the Wallabies they really rattled them.

1 trick pony, he is going to run straight every touch. Love to see him step and pass occasionally and maybe even shape to kick

 

[Viking]

Tom Wright looked at home at test level too.

The Ref can ask the TMO to check his general play decisions. Listen to Berry on the run in genaral plan and you would have heard him asking the TMO to check things he was doubtful about. Berry was trying to let the game flow but would come back if his call was wrong.

 

[Forcefield]

I love that the second red means noone can take anything away from the win.

 

[Dctarget]

Lolesio looked so much assured tonight, last game he was on a hiding to nothing. I look forward to him in years to come.
