Magnificent all round performance from the All Blacks and a valient effort by an outclassed Wallabies side.

Ozzie now 5m out…
All Black defence bloody good
Ahhh…poor Auzies…I geuss they aren’t as good as they tought they were…tsk tsk!!
TMO
Brown try or held up by Makou??
AB’s moet die Aussie nou maar goed pak gee, sodat ons darem in die tweede plek kan eindig.
Aussies het laasweek gedink hulle is goed deur die Bokke te wen, maar intussen was dit nie hul wat so goed was nie, maar ons wat so hondsleg gespeel het.
Difficult to judge…
Ruled held up, scrum 5
Damn, the pich took a pounding with the last scrum…. grass flung aside to open up a beach… hehehe
Try Ashley Cooper…. good persistance from the Wallas
AB’s 39 / 21
Try Joe Rokocoko….
AB’s hit back hard and quick, sign of a quality side
AB’s 44 / 21
Flag out by Kaplan…. tip tackle??
I don’t think it was… oi man
Man, this was just a straightforward tackle… no spear at all, fark me!
Kaino with a huge hand off against Brown…. lovely stuff
Back home and only turned on the tv now. WOW!!!!!!!! All Blacks running away with it here.
Wallas throwing everything at the All Blacks, including the kitchen sink, but the All Blacks just absorbing everything…
Try Elsom…. that was good sustained play and pressure.
6 tries to the ABs. They sure on fire here.
AB’s 44 / 28
138@ Puma:
AB’s 1st half was magnificent…. already had their bonus point before halftime
4 min left
16 points difference now, Ozzies have not scored 4 tries yet…. best to just keep it this way…
@ grootblousmile:140 – Gbs, Pity I missed it. Was out for a hour or so. ABs looking awesome this Tri-Nations.
143@ Puma:
Was a very good game Puma, have’nt seen balanced rugby like this since the Super 14
About a 1000 to 1 … hahaha
Try Corey Flynn… if they convert they’ll go over 50 and the biggest score by the AB’s against Ozzie ever
Final score AB’s 49 / 28
A 21 point margin
Well done All Blacks.
Jeepers 7 tries now that is totally brilliant.
Rugby Princess if you looking in. Well done to your ABs they were fantastic.
Now for my biggie today. Sharks/Cheetahs at 3pm. Hope for a good game.
Verskil tussen die AB’s en die res. Hulle wen groot nie net in hul eie land nie, maar oorsee ook.
Dink die AB’s het in 3 wedstryde al dubbel soveel driee gedruk as laasjaar se reeks. Wat is die verskil: het hul beter geword of die Bokke en Aussies slegter ?
