Wallabies vs All Blacks 10th August @Optus Stadium Perth

[Joe King]

Oh no. Red card a bit harsh. Should only be a yellow.

 

[Aussie D]

15 v 15 in the second half then. No excuses for the Wallabies tonight with a four point start.

 

[Brumbieman]

Kerevi's ability to offload in time/distribute, and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) holding us back so far, otherwise we'd have a few more on the board.

Can't really fault anyone else - Lilo having a great game, forwards overcommitting a bit but generally playing well.

 

[Shaker]

I understand the new rules surrounding head high contact, and i can understand to the letter of the law thats probably a red but I dont know, that seemed harsh. These sort of reds ruined the U20 World Cup.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Opps, that frog fuckwit ref just went and wrecked another big test.

Not much in the way of dominant tackles from NZ. Or even effective tackles. Or even any tackles at all. 18 missed to Aus's 5 did they say? Letting Aus scramble all around the gain line and beyond at will.

Ben from Accounts is very much ready for the gold watch tap on the shoulder.

 

[Forcefield]

Normally I'd say that red was a joke. But ABs clearly targeting Hooper and I reckon ref knows it.

 

[ACR]

Definitely a Yellow. 50/50 for it been a Red

It's fucking pick and roll defence! Watch how players tackle 1 metre away from the previous ruck.

Onto a short arse who puts his head down at hip level all the time.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

In terms of strict application of regulations yes is a Red Card...

Pity in some ways as 16-12 up and now if we win it - people can write it off because of the Red Card.

Pretty happy with the Wallabies performance. Lots to actually like...

 

[Up the Guts]

Would have happened anyway. “Focus was the World Cup, testing our combos” etc etc.

Hahaha, so true

 

[Shaker]

I really wish we would have had 15 v 15 in the 2nd but if theres ever a time to put some points on the ABs, todays the day. Bonus point victory and Argies win in the morning = Rugby Championship?

 

[Derpus]

Cheating dooooogs. We got this shit boyooos

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Hell of a stadium the Western Force have got out there. Jesus, it looks like one of them trillion dollar NFL jobs. They probably just made it that big to get Shiggins off their case

 

[Up the Guts]

Only two jumpers for NZ now. Need to target the setpiece.

 

[Joe King]

Reckon the Wallabies would take a lot of confidence away up to this point. Playing like they are enjoying themselves again.

 

[TSR]

Yeah - that’s pretty much my call on it too. Doesn’t seem an offence worthy of having to play half a game 1 man down.

That said - it has been the rule for a while now and if you clean out with a shoulder charge (which happens pretty often and doesn’t get called to be fair) you run the risk.

 

[rod skellet]

Latu is playing well and Kurevi put a bell ringer on Read with ball in hand. The wallabies are in this.

 

[Godfrey]

On one hand I get that the red card incident didn't look that dramatic, but he lead with his elbow to the back of someone's head. It was a good pickup by the ref, and a great call to send them off for a red card. Easy way to avoid such cards in future is to not elbow the back of people's heads. Seeing the All Blacks get punished for their red zone cheating for once is majestic.

They dont play there

Tackling a short player doesn't mean you need to lead with your shoulder...

 

[Bobby Sands]

ease up tiger, no need for that

It's not a racist comment mate.

His rugby skills are atrocious.

He is not all there as a rugby player with regards to ball skills, body height or otherwise.

Great to see us playing well, sad to see a Red, but it was there.
