Tryyyyyyyyy Cory Jane…. evens stevens, kick to come
50: ‘n jaar van baie beserings vir die Bulle, daar is nou 7 spelers op die krukkelys. Hoop hulle is reg vir volgende jaar.
All Blacks 14 / 12
Wallas has lost their grip on this game if they can get into the dressing room with no more damage the coach might get their focus back.
Penalty for Ozzie, easy one…
Fark, Giteau misses a sitter…..
@ grootblousmile:
NO kick is easy for Australia, they have a bloody mental block with their kicking. Really disappointing.
Uiteindelik ‘n ref wat die Aussies blaas vir al hul gerondskuif in die skrums.
AB’s gaan die Ausies vat die 2de helfte.
Ozzies really battling in the scrums…. 2 penalties in a row against them in the scrums
Carter lines up from relatively far out…. over
All Blacks 17 / 12

@ Pietman:52 – Piet that sounds great.
Gbs, this is not age…hehehe. It has taken me almost 10min to get logged in here again.
Wallas having real problems in the scrums, that is the difference between the two sides at the moment. These ABs are soooo strong, truly a great side in the making. As for the wallas, I like their flair and innovation but back to the basics in that strange place we call scrums.
2nd Half On!
73: you need a reliable goal kicker. Where is Mortlock ?
72@ Puma:
When am I building you a new PC??
Wallas starting strong again in the 2nd half
Penalty Ozzies, 40m out, in front…. a regular kicker should slot it
Verskil is, die AB’s kry hul punte maklik, die Aussies moet hul moeg werk vir punte.
Giteau misses left… fark me sideways
Slipper slips on for Ben Bobinson in the Ausie front row
Try Ma’a Nonu, after wonderful work from Makou
All Blacks: a champion team, lead by a champion number 7.
All Blacks 24 / 12
Scintelating game
Stephen Donald on for NZ
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Drew Mitchell!
O’Connor converts from the touch line
All Blacks 24 / 19
Berrick Barnes on for Giteau, Faingaa on for Stephen Moore
This time the Ozzies get a scrum penalty
