All Blacks 13 / 3 Wallabies
Why isn’t the ref blowing the AB lineout as not straight?
Mistakes creeping in everywhere now amongst the Wobblies and the Blacks have smelt blood. The AB’s are the most ruthless team in international rugby. You can’t afford to show any weakness when playing them.
Right now it looks like the Wobblies are just going through the motions and have already written off this game. Deans is going to have his job cut out for him at half time.
Wallabies penalty after massive All Blacks pressure and a great counter-ruck.
All Blacks gets marched 10m more
Genia almost snipes through….. penalty against Nonu
Quick tap and go… 3m out
All Blacks earn a penalty… having turned Sharp the wrong way
Bit of magic from Genia, but the rest of the team can’t live up to it. Wobblies should have taken the 3. You can’t turn down points against the Blacks. Again mistake by Beale.
I just don’t know what is going through the Wallabies heads at the moment, but some of the worst decision making I have ever seen in a rugby match. If Deans has taught them to play like this, then they could and should finish bottom of the log.
Impressions of the game?
All Blacks seems much stronger
All Blacks scrum penalty… against the Wallabies tighthead, stepping out and going down
Very one sided this game. ABs just too good for the Wallabies.
Do hope it is the Boks that beat them first this year. Well it seems we are the only team that will be capable of beating them.
Looking forward to seeing how Arg does today, because it seems they could beat the Wallabies as well. This is not a good Oz side.
Obstructive running, Wallas penalty.
Barnes not finding great touches so far
All Blacks penalty, Genia coming in too quick at the lineout
I expect another try from this line out
Deans job could be on the block here. He really has not done much with the Wallabies to be honest. Jake or the Reds coach would do a whole lot better. Though hope Jake never gets the Job. Would hate to lose to them if he was their coach.
Kieran Read almost through the gap… loses the ball
74 @ grootblouBokJan: he is the Peter Grant of Australia.
Fark, now the Wallabies get a scrum penalty.
Rolland blowing EVERY scrum…. flok!
And to top off a shyte day for the Wallabies their handling has gone to pot as well
79 @ LosBokJanKoppie:
He was just way better than Grant… usually…
Wallabies blow a golden opportunity…. Higginbotham with kak in his hands
OMW the Wobblies are crap.
Jeeeez Beale…. massive knock
Where are their heads… and hands?
Is there such a term as “ugly rugby”? Because that is what the Aussies are playing. Great try Jane
Try Cory Jane!
Ja, punish them if they want to play crap!
Beale is the new Kirchner!
Bly Rolland blaas nie vir ons nie, hy is kuk daai ou…..Bokke het gelukkig n Sharks-ondersteuner vir n ref!
All Blacks 18 / 3 Wallabies
Beale is having a awful game. This is when the coach should have the strength to take the player off. He is contaminating the entire team. Obviously his head is not in a good place with the external things that have been happening to him.
