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

Sorry Dan you're right. You are a saint.

The real reason I'm angry is that the Bears got cut and i just can't force myself to support a rando team in league.

And AFL? who the fuck wants to watch a bunch of unco fluffybunnys run around lots?

That leaves me with midnight sports such as the EPL and NFL. Which are on after midnight..

Na mate, I know and understand you real pissed, just I just think the only way you can take any enjoyment is to look for positives. You got the Boks and Pumas to go yet, so it's no good getting down this early in RC!!!!

 

[Bullrush]

We obviously fucking cant and never have been able to. Which brings me back to the mind bending question of 'why the fuck are we even doing this?!?'

Rubbish.
It wasn’t that long ago when the Wallabies were fielding Phil Waugh, John Eales, Kefu, Larkham, Morlock, Roff, George Smith, Stephen Moore, Pocock etc etc

These guys were considered world class - sometimes world’s best. Who would you put in that list today? Hooper.

Some of this current squad may push into the worlds best during their career but they need time. It’s the catch 22 about needing experience. The only way you can get it is to play more and play at this level.

Some guys here just aren’t up to Test level but trying to assess that after playing 3 games against the ABs is not a good gauge IMO.

 

[Dctarget]

Is either actually playing any better than they were before they left?

Hooper's still our best and hardest-working player and Kerevi's doing what he always did- runs hard, breaks tackles, forces offloads and struggles to pass.

Kerevi actually had two nice passes tonight to set up a try.

 

[Dctarget]

Been toying with the idea of NFL. Doesn't matter the start time. Just play the recording.

A big NO to round ball.

F1 has stepped in to fill a hole. Also, European rugby is pretty good fun. Slowly converting to be a full French fan to cover the Wallabies pain.

 

[Pfitzy]

To me, the Wallabies are in a huge rebuild.

Only the 5th year of our 3-year rebuild.

 

[Tex]

Derpus mate, do you need us to organise a welfare check tonight?

Your post seems to support my conclusionsl that playing three tests in a row against you lot is rubbish.

A good pass in an acting halfback position does not equal a strong ball player at inside centre.

Yeah - that’s fair enough

As an aside I'd give Koribete a rest next week and look at Wright or Vunivalu

Vunivalu is a class above on natural ability. Need to start getting games into him.

The bar may be low - but Sbw still shows the bar can be lowered.. hey if kiwi media wants SBW who are we to stop that natural media talent going back to nz...

 

[RugbyReg]

Who's this Wallaroos (I assume?) player on the commentary team? She's fantastic. Very well spoken, night & day to SBW.

the one that’s been there all season? If so it’s Alana Ferguson. Very good. Not a Wallaroo but did play 7s for Oz and had played a bit of league.

 

[Derpus]

Derpus mate, do you need us to organise a welfare check tonight?

Ill probably make it.

That sounds very Waratah-ish

Sera Naiqama was on the pre-game show. Didn't see half time

My dedicated team of GIF Screenshotters currently scouring all global feeds for footage of Akira's Run And Try Assist To Will Jordan AKA The Akira Prophecy Realised In Full.

"Holy shit! That's it! That's it! Scroll back! Ah fuck,
false alarm. Monitor 26, you got anything?"

 

[wamberal]

I really hope that we have seen

Look let's go see how we go against SA and Argentina and let's see how we go..

I know how we will go against the Saffers. Not well.

 

[Tex]

Akira was a weapon. Found someone to play the Kieran Read role out wide

 

[dru]

I'm not willing to concede this yet, though I understand the logic. I just hope that positive rugby has a place in the world. In which case the Saffers don't deserve it.

 

[drewprint]

You and Dan. Out.

Just go be passively smug among Kiwis.

Reckon you’re a bit off the mark here. Bullrush is quality.
