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.

@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Laughing at the Sharks.

Try Sivivatu… immediate hit back
All Blacks 27 / 7
If the NZers can’t fill a 55000 seater staduim for such a big test how do they expect to fill them for the RWC?
61@ grootblousmile:
Ag nee ou maat buttermilk rusks nogal, you will make me wish I could go out and get a big box of Ouma beskuit!
72@ Loosehead:
New Zealand culture has had a massive shift in a few short years…. they are all into extreme sports now….
… you know, like Handbag bashing, putting make-up on…. very extreme!
Odie, very well. Having a whale of a time in Hermanus about an hour and a half’s drive outside Cape Town.
Reckon the Dingo whispered something in the Wallabie’s ear at the break?
73@ Bullscot:
Neeeee, fokkie Ouma beskuit…. this is the real macoy!
What’s this with the players stashing the mouth piece on top of their ears lately….
76@ grootblousmile:
hehe ah well I cant buy iy anyway so maybe will have to find a recipe for the real macoy online and try convince someone to bake us some 🙂
78@ Bullscot:
I have my mom’s recipy… gave it to BonzaiHandbriekie…. now the NEW CHEF gets ALL the praises….
Also gave her my mom’s detailed Souskluitjies recipy and a few others.
… but the Ice Cream recipy (made with lots of condensed milk and cream amongst other stuff), I keep only to myself! I make the BEST ICE CREAM in the world!
@ fender:
If he did, it isn’t working. ABs are giving us a master class.
This match hasn’t been one of Elsom’s best. I would have replaced him at half time.
Cooper is really playing shit.
Penalty All Blacks, they should go to 30 with this one
79@ grootblousmile:
You lucky man, mom’s cooking was mos always the best, maybe I can convince skoonma to try make some if you’d be so kind as to share your mom’s recipe, am quite lucky got a cool skoonma.
All Blacks 30 / 7
83@ Bullscot:
It’s all handwritten, so I’ll have to type it out sometime for you
I really want to watch the England / Wales test but it is on at the same time as WP’s loss to the VRYSTAAAAAT. What to do?
85@ grootblousmile:
ahh that would be great thanks man. Anyway whats become of us men talking about recipes while the rugby is on and in my case also sitting with baby in arms 😉 Thought All Blacks would win but not by this much!
7 minutes left
Penalty All Blacks…. they go for touch
87@ Bullscot:
