I disagree with commentator, Dagg hasn’t had half the game he had last week
Guess it’s safe to say there won’t be 4 tries either way…. and I guess it’s also safe to assume the Wobblies get no Log points from this one either
Come on Wobblies, you have 8 minutes to prevent 3 tries from being scored against you. Surely you can manage that!
It’s just that damn poor ball handling letting the AB’s down all night. Apart from that, they look pretty infallible.
What was my Bru pick??
All Blacks by 19….
5 more minutes Wobblies! Hou manne!
All Blacks now toying with the Wallas
Imagine the iron constitution mama Franks must have had breeding that lot.
All Blacks out 7m away
2 Minutes to go in the match
I would love to see the Wobblies score just one converted try
4 mins, think even the Wobblies won’t concede 3 tries now so this result will be the best the Boks could have hoped for. ABs 8 points, Wobblies 0!
Golden chance and Dan Carter passes it out to touch
I need someone to explain why Cooper kicked that
Seconds to go…. it’s all All Blacks
Wallabies looking clueless, also kicking away so much of their possession just hands it back to the ABs. Hope Meyer is taking NOTICE of that. We can’t give them that much ball with our kicking game. If we kick we had better hope it is spot on the money and our chasers will have to be there to the second. I just wish we could play with more skills. Watching the ABs off-loads are superb to watch.
Hooter goes… knock by the All Blacks…. Game over
Well done mates. You’ve given the Boks the best start possible.
Final Score: All Blacks 22 / 0 Wallabies
First time since 1962 that the All Blacks hold the Wallabies scoreless
Agree with GBS’ earlier comment, if Deans survives this, I will be amazed
Well done All Blacks. Just too good for Wallabies as I thought.
Just pleased no bonus point, just what I wanted. This could keep the Boks chasing for this cup. Hoping, we still need to beat Wallabies in Perth first. Then hope we put up a better show playing the Blacks in Dunedin than the Wallabies have done here today against them. We should.
Now going for a swim, just far too hot to be sitting inside for now.
140 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, the knives are out for him
Only ONE try in the match, we could not have asked for better, I feel.
140 @ Just For Kicks:
I will be as well. Also don’t think MacKenzie is the man to take the Wallabies further. I personally think it should be Jake. He will do so much better with these players. Though would hate to lose to Oz if Jake was coaching them.
My Bru pick not too bad… only 3 out
Next game is at 15:00….
Okay out of here. Cheers everyone.
Some twitter comments to ponder on – and yes, the first one is an Aussie! – Mindy Pawsey @MKPS001
I’ve learned tonight that if a Wallaby bends over far enough, they can form a complete circle. #nzlvaus #bledisloe #rugby

22-0 flatters the Wallabies. Would have been 50-0 if the All Blacks had taken all of their chances.
RuggaWorld @RuggaWorld
And that is the end of the worst 15 minutes of test rugby I have seen in a while by these two teams – AB’s win 22-0, keep the #Bledisloe
