All Blacks (17) 30 / Wallabies (0) 14 (Final Score)
The New Zealand All Blacks hosted the Australian Wallabies at Eden Park, Auckland at 09:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The All Blacks sailed to a commanding lead early on against a Wallaby side which was unusually error-prone. In the second half the Wallabies tried hard but it was always going to be nigh on impossible to come back from so far behind.

James O’Connor goes for goal from a penalty, misses about 2 ball widths to the right
34@ Loosehead:
My Bru says All Blacks by 9
33@ grootblousmile:
Ja, remember that most of them would not have been “coached” by him for 3 weeks.
Penalty against Ma’a Nonu, coming in from the side of a ruck…. very kickable
Loosehead, I’m still in bed broer…..priorities!

Lots on going on but nothing really happening at the moment.

Doesn’t look as if the stadium is full.
Flok, nou moet ek vir myself eers ‘n serious koffie bou… Handbriekie is ook nog tuusen die velle, so ek het noggie eers my eerste koppie boeretroos gehad nie.
Koffie en tuisgemaakte karringmelkbeskuit…

48@ fender:
This week I had more than a few Gigs… I had a Terabyte…. hehehe
G’day everyone from Wallabies land.
Not looking to flash at the moment. Wallabies look gone for all money at half-time. The ABs defence is bone-rattling. What an exhibition from them.
Wallabies don’t look comfortable; the pressure from the ABs is gigantic. ABs have a well-thought out game plan and are putting the ball just behind our defensive line, smart rugby.
What will Robbie Deans come up with for the second half? This ABs team deserve the mantle of world number one, so who ever takes it off them will have to earn it.
50@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Hello Oldie
