Wallabies v All Blacks, Sat 27th October 4.45pm AEDT, Nissan Stadium, Japan

[Up the Guts]

Smith completely changed his line.

 

[Dctarget]

Super obstruction?

haha nah only when DHP does it behind the play when Speight is going to score against the ABs.

 

[Micheal]

You’re allowed to obstruct if you’re running in support of a player who has made a linebreak and you are ahead of trailing defenders.

Annoying but what’s the alternative? You have to concede ground to defenders because you are in a better position?

 

[Tomikin]

Yeah he should card both of them though.

Lutu card shpuld be stamped never again.. shit at the lineout then absoulte goose for pushing to the face we have better younger hookers

 

[Getwithme]

Look there are plenty of errors and lots to not like but to be honest, I can actually take a bit out of this one. Forward back worked well and were well balanced for 65 minutes, back 3 looked good and Kerevi has been great in both attack and defence.

The inside back combination of 10-12-13 just isn't working at the moment and the bench hasn't been great bar Dempsey, Tupou and Arnold.

It’s 1 v 7 so we’re allowed some latitude with what we see as credible

 

[Up the Guts]

Imagine if we had Kerevi all RC

 

[Tomikin]

Imagine if we had Kerevi all RC

Or TK both were in fine form before injury. It really has cost us

 

[KOB1987]

Imagine if we had Kerevi all RC

Or kuridrani. A proper 13 has helped

 

[swingpass]

Yes they have certainly mised SK and TK

 

[KOB1987]

I reckon naivalu had a blinder considering the brief he would have had

Snap must of beat you by a second

 

[Up the Guts]

Wasn't a displeasing performance, just a few errors at crucial times compounded by Poite's inconsistencies. Can't believe Poite was chatting to the NZ waterboy, Gardner would have had him removed from the stadium.

 

[Muzza]

Rodda hands are awful .

Nige would have been ordering dominos with him

 

[KOB1987]

They are. I thought Simmons was great today, he seemed to know he was on notice. I have to say I didn’t even notice Arnold when he came on, maybe he didn’t in fairness.

Foley and Simmons were both pretty damn good as well.

Edit: you beat me to it re Simmons.

 

[Samson]

Our problem is above the neck. Cool heads win games. We push passes , we rush one out in defence. we miss tackles from pre empting attack lines. We are as skilful as them, we just have to get our heads right and find two more speedsters.

The ongoing selection of Ned Hanigan and the selection of Jack Dempsey epitomises what's wrong with Australian Rugby and the Wallabies.

Ned Hanigan has now been gifted 18 caps - so many more than so many better players. Learn your stripes in Super Rugby and NRC young man. No-one deserves such a free ride.

Jack Dempsey has worked hard to return from serious injury but should never have been picked for this game or the Spring Tour.

Thanks World Series Rugby for giving us a focus for this great game while RA keep fiddling while Rome burns.

The RS Board should read up on Seppuku.
