SupporterWell, I figure the last thread went the nut dragging way so i thought I'd post up a thread suited to the actual competition rather than any particular team or outcome.
Sef Effrica got a good roll on last weekend.Going to be interesting to see how they roll in another backyard.
All Blacks were out of sorts but still posted a win against a Wallabies team i thought had a damn good crack. It is going to be an intereesting game this time around.
Wellington got real shook up one week ago but has been relatively quiet. As at yesterday, thursday 22nd, the probability of an earthquake within the next seven days between a 5 and 5.9 was 60% and a 6 and greater 8.9%. (Link)
Should be a cracking good game providing the shakes don't come into the game. Literally and figuratively.
All Blacks have their injury worries and although they're putting on a brave face it increases the scope of further errors with a key new player in there. Tom Taylor appears to be settling in and settling down if the media are correct. Other things of note is that Tony Woodcock is set to clock up his 'ton' of appearances for the ABs. Awesome to see another one bring up the century.
What is happening in other teams/country camps? Anyone else watching?

SupporterSome news articles from our papers this morning...
All Blacks have no room for any complacency
Tom Taylor just fulfilling his All Black destiny
Wallabies need to make Bledisloe a contest
Rugby: All Blacks' high-flyers winning the air war
Any news across the ditch to read?
If Andrew Slack is anything to go by, maybe not (Andrew Slack: Secret of success? Wallabies must discover the inner bully).
With an eye to our domestic game... go Otago!To understand where the code is today, you only had to read the sports section of our national newspaper on Thursday, two days before a live-or-die Bledisloe Cup match.
In a journal usually very generous to rugby matters, there was a hidden 10-paragraph story on how the ARU needed to tackle injury problems. Nothing about the Wellington match, but there were eight stories on AFL, six on rugby league, three on cricket and some tennis and horse racing.

Wallabies can't escape Sydney mistakes

SupporterThanks Bob, thats the no-nonsense stuff that needs to be done and said I think. In the real world we have to own our mistakes to get anywhere within ourselves. All Blacks have to ward off complacency. I think the Wallabies are going to come out and show us all if not what they were like a few short years ago, at least show us they're heading back to the top of the froth. I remember well the days of Gregan (4 more years boys!), Eales, et al and feeling nervous in the stomach whenever these too great teams lined each other up.
Shaping to be a cracker game. Weather is a pearler here (2hrs north of Wgtn) at the moment and looking at the Metservice site looks to be a stunner at Wgtn too.
Players discuss strategy
I think that McKenzie is going to do very well for the Wallabies, as soon as he has bent the "little boys" in the squad round to his way of thinking, and got rid of the attitudes. Making the team watch their last defeat, with all the stupid errors that cost them the match, is much better than the "there, there, it doesn't really matter" attitude of the previous coach.Originally Posted by bob10

SubscriberBetter, I am happy with the attitude & effort of the Wallabies so far. They are not as fit as the All Blacks, and this could tell in the second half. Still some basic mistakes, and some very interesting Referee decisions, but the Wallabies are on the way back. Still a lot of work to do, but I am happy, Bob

SubscriberReferees are like kangaroos in the headlights when r****** the All Blacks, especially South Africans. But it is all good, the Wallabies will come back stronger, will take a bit of time, but they are on the way back. How good are the new scrum rules.............Bob
