Bledisloe III at Perth, 5/09/21 - 4pm AEST

[Dismal Pillock]

Key Sales Points Indicating Wallabies Will Win:

- Dead rubber, AB's foot off the throat
- No AfterDavid, Mounga or Whitelock
- All Aussie ref crew
- Scrote Barrett
- Jordie Barrett
- Aus helmed by winning Chiefs coach, NZ helmed by sloppy seconds losing Chiefs coach.
- Shigginometry
- 60K feral Force fans united in their hatred of the enemy.

Im not absolving NSW Rugby of guilt when it comes to letting talent pass by, but Angus T isn’t a very good example to use.

Based on what I saw of him in Shute Shield, I think the Tahs were brave to give him a gig. Looked pretty average to me.

Derpus I am trying to recall a post where you don’t use the F bomb. I am struggling.

He was a weak scrummager. He also couldn’t catch a ball to save his life. He has improved out of sight.

He’s also very well-spoken and pretty funny. I know he’s done commentary work previously but he should take it up full-time when he retires. Light years ahead of Marshall and co. as well as the Stan guys we have here.

He relly got a great personality for tv work UTG, and as you say would seem quite an upgrade on a few we get.

Bell is a fuckin unit. I never really noticed.

Yeah, look at him next to Rodda who is a ginormous lock. The other ones who stand out are Swinton at bottom right, and I’d be chucking a sickie if I ever got lined up against Kerevi.

Out of interest, does anyone know the reverse stat? Hooper would be up there I reckon

As of October 2020 the top Wob was Adam Ashley-Cooper with nine.

Players who 'brought it' against the All Blacks

There has been some discussion on The Roar recently about players with big reputations not performing against the All Blacks. Even the great Brian…

Resorted to plugging in random names & came up with a few threes & fours inc Horan, Little, Genia, Gregan & Larkham. Greg Cornelson famously got four in one match at Eden Park in '86, the only four of his career I believe.

Angus T had shit going on while he was with the Tahs. Sick kid I think. No support network. Away from family. Don't blame him for not being at his best.

OK Wallabies. Nothing short of redemption please.

 

[Derpus]

I really wish they didn't add reaction emojis. Something about it is...... off.

 

[dru]

Awesome crowd - well done Perth!

 

[Bullrush]

Love the Welcome to Country

 

[Up the Guts]

Sun out, full house, it’s like a time warp.

 

[chasmac]

Good welcome to country.
Bad anthem.......

 

[Bullrush]

Love the Welcome to Country

Oohhhhh….love the change to the Aus National Anthem as well!

 

[dru]

Line out #1 not a good sign

 

[Dctarget]

How’d they get that scrum?!

 

[dru]

Scrum #1 not good

 

[Derpus]

I give up trying to understand the laws

 

[dru]

Samu bloody Kerevi!
