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.

Craig is fair but damn strict…. very good actually
straf hulle craig!! hulle willie horie!!
Lemoenetyd
ok manne
eks uit
sien julle maandag
it was fun
cheers!!
Joubert is nou so kwaad hy sien nou net geel
Is this an Irish ref? He clearly has a AB bias….
What do you guys think about the quality of rugby?
@ fender:
Shit stirrer! 😆
96@ fender:
How so… I think he’s fair.
Explain, maybe I’m overlooking something obvious???
Net n vraag moet nou net nie weer dink ek moan nie. Die charge down van Carter waar hy score, het die bal nie van hom Nonu agter hom getref en toe vorentoe gespat nie? As dit so is het die Aussies mos n strafskop verdien.
Tweede drie van AB was almal met die afskop voor die bal
@ grootblousmile:
The Aussies are crap, AB’s are good. Boks would be behind both teams at this stage.
101@ Loosehead:
Think so too…
But hell this game is almost at double the pace than the 3 preceeding Tri-Nations matches, no time to look away for a second!
@ grootblousmile:
as jy so hoe spoed game speel moet daar baie leeway wees deur die ref. Of hy ewewigtig dit doen is dit die geheim om dit n goeie game te maak.
Ek sien baie mense val nou vir die wonderlike AB game.
T\@ grootblousmile:
The ABs standard is incredible and pretty to watch, whereas the wallas have deteriorated in attitude and intensity since Franks was sinbinned. These ABs are just about perfect. Wallas defence is leaking like a siv and Rocky needs to pull his head in and LEAD the team. I queried earlier as to whether the wallas have the X factor? I can now answer: NO.
superbul @ 100
hou op moan 😆
104@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Yip… Wallas need to step up now, if only to do if for my SuperBru….. hehehe
No problems from me with Craig Joubert’s performance, so far – this game is being played at a cracking pace – quicker than any other of the 3Ns.
107@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Hehehehe, I see we’re watching the same game…..
Die sleutel van die AB’s se sukses, is hul het weer hope vol selfvertroue. En wie moet ons bedank daarvoor ? Nie Boland Bank nie, maar ons eie Bokke wat in 2 wedstryde die AB’s weer op hul troontjie geplaas het, waarvan hul laasjaar so hard geval het.
Feite is: sonder goeie fetchers (Brussow, Steggies) en sonder ‘n planmaker (FDP) het die Bokke dit net nie.
Laat die AB’s hierdie jaar al hul geluk geniet, volgende jaar is weer ‘n ander, hopelik beter jaar vir die Bokke.
@ Ashley:
ag ja ou Ash laat ek rugby los, ek hou nie van sulke gehollery nie. Ek soek meer vleis. Soos meeste goeie Bul ondersteuners doen. Ek sal maar nooit hier airy fairy game kan embrace nie.
Gbs, look I’m not that good that at judging a ref’s performance as Super, Rugbybal and all you Blue Bull experts. I just thought I’d get an opinion or two from you ouens by stating that AB Joubert was favouring the team in black and then allow opportunity for some feedback.
You know mos? 😉
109@ bdb:
Ek stem saam, vrind…
111@ fender:
Hahaha
Oi, Red card for Drew Mitchell, slapped the ball down, 2nd yellow means a RED!
Red card!
gbs @ 108
maybe its because of the good influence we had on him while he was in sa?
anyway,
now i’m really out!!
cheers!!
Wallas escape from Jail as they get possession on their own line.
Mils scores again, under the posts…
AB’s 39 / 14
Very effective All Black rugby, from No 1 to No 15….
Weepu also very good behind this AB pack..
