I'd suggest that Mowen wouldn't be in the starting XV if Pocock and Higgers were fit, but he is next cab off the rank so is rightly in the side IMO. He has looked lethargic the last 2 tests.

The Wallaby attack just seems unorganised to my eye. Guys to slow to get back in position, players aligning next to each other not knowing what they are going to do or how they are going to react.

But I'm not overly surprised by that given you basically have a brand new midfield combination and a very green 1st 5. The ABs have our most capped midfield combo and tonight had a 1st 5 that plays very similar (and has played alot with) to our first choice 10. Our 7 and 8 work in tandem so much it is very good to watch whereas I've seen Hooper make some very good plays but lacked that support from his loose trio team mates.

I liked the aggression from the Wallabies, I liked that they really pushed the offside line and played on (and over) the edge - and got away with a lot - but it all availed to very little because of the lack of cohesion in attack.

Good luck to the Wallabies against the Boks. I'll have a slight cheer for them if they play some better footy.

That's a strange comment. Still, even if the crowd is a bit apathetic, you can't really blame them. No doubt this will be interpreted as arrogance in some quarters but holding onto the Bledisloe is a bit ho hum these days.

There were two red card offences to All Blacks in this game for disgraceful, cynical, CRIMINAL offences in the red zone.

I was this close to calling the police.

Fuck off All Blacks you are ruining Rugby.

I can hear that police siren now, it's got an awfully familiar sound of a whiney fan after a loss :)

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that no one has mentioned Simmons cynical play about 10m from the AB try line where he came in from the side off his feet and just grabbed the ball that was sitting in the ruck whilst the ABs were hot on attack.....
