Wallabies (14) 28 / All Blacks (32) 49 (Final Score)
The Wallabies are hosting the All Blacks at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne, Australia at 12:00 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game is broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The All Blacks got into their racing gears quickly in the match and before halftime had already secured their bonus point for tries after just more than half an hour of play.
Magnificent all round performance from the All Blacks and a valient effort by an outclassed Wallabies side.
The All Blacks rubbed salt into the wounds with a 7th try on 80 minutes and a comfortable romp of 49 / 28.

Môre.
Wie is hierdie 2 spanne wat speel ?
Penalty AB… near halfway but in the middle of the field
31@ bdb:
Kotsgeel teen Vrekswart
3 / 3 as dan Carter slots it
Tryyyyyyyyy Mitchell… a charge down of a kick of Carter, Mitchell grabs and scores!
Ozzie 8 / 3, as Giteau hits the right hand upright… again
Tryyyyyyyyy Carter, as he charges down a kick from Barns…. tit for tat
AB 10 / 8
Try Mills Muliaina….
Hell, lots of action in this game!
Die Auzies gaan goed pak slae kry vandag….ek gaan soooo lekker kry 🙂
Excellent handling by the All Blacks, great rugby
AB 15 / 8
40@ bos_otter:
Hello Bosse
15 Minutes gone, 23 points scored already..
Penalty Ozzie, very kickable…. Gitts is a bad kicker though… should get this one
@ grootblousmile: hello GBS 🙂
Fark, he misses… eishhhhhhhh
Kan iemand in die wereld vir Matt se dat die punt van n rugbybal n BAIE klein sweetspot het
Another kickable penalty for Ozz
This time from about 10m left of the left upright… between 22m line and 10m line..
Over
AB 15 / 11
Almal in die wereld is in verwondering met die ABs. Hulle mesmeraais die refs.
Altwee hul driee is debatable.
Great counterruck by the Ozzies… they get the scrum
Ideaal sou gewees het dat die Bokke laasweek met ‘n bonuspunt sou wen, en die Gifappeltjies die Swart Mambas 2 keer sou klop … ja, mens kan mos maar so bietjie droom.
Al wat nou oorbly, is om te keer dat die AB’s ons gesamentlike rekord saam met hulle van agtereenvolgende oorwinnings (17) kan keer daar in Soweto. Ek dink die AB’s staan tans op 12 oorwinnings in ‘n ry, en daar is net 2 spanne wat hul kan keer: Bokke (in SA) en Franse (as hul die dag ‘click’).
Eishhhh, both teams so good at the breakdown situations… Brown very effective for Ozzie, Makou very effective for AB’s
Yellow card against Owen Franks for a shoulder and also off-side
Craig Joubert is very strict… and good on him for doing so!
aaaaaaaaaaah
