Very tough, physical game ...
Great to see the Kiwis resort to playing Vs cheating ... well after Richie (surprise, surprise) getting sent off ;-). Sure the Aussie went shortly after that but he had a mind snap versus a career agenda ... LOL.
Sorry, just stirring the pot. :)
Australia was crap and deserved to lose. They had 10 or so minutes when they got it together, buckled the ABs and scored tries on well contested scrums and field play ... but other than that, they were crap. They got schooled on what happens when you are weak and sloppy in both general play and failing to prepare for the counter-punch. The ABs are the Kings Of Pain if you are not in the game 100%.
I know the ABs didn't play the best last week and they lifted this week but Geez ... the Wallabies just lost it. I know they were under pressure which makes teams fold ... but they looked like they were asleep for most of the game, just had no intensity at all. Bizarre ..... maybe it was the Jet-Lag :-)

The ABs rule - gotta admit it. Back to their best. Respect. Left our blokes floundering except for 10 mins in the second half.

Or it could be said, which would be more accurate, that the All Blacks played brilliantly. Imagine how bad the score would be if the sooky refs stopped sending our players off every five minutes for minor infringements.
Stop knocking your team fellas just because they lost to the All Blacks (again ;)). The Wallabies are a very good team, top three in the world aren't they? The problem is they are just not the best team.
On the bright side you get to see them play the best team in the world every year in the Bledisloe Cup. ...:angel::p;)
And trust me for us Kiwis we wouldn't have it any other way, we enjoy watching the Wallabies play our boys.

As Bob said, we haven't given up on them, far from it. The facts are however that they played exceptionally badly.Quote:

However ... When, in the second half, those golden 10 or 15 mins when Australia got it together, the ABs looked far from flash.
I think the Ref set the tone right from the start and the ABs largely got with the program. It had even been covered in the press that the Refs are sick of the ABs tactics ... So it ain't just the whinging Wallabies fans. However, AB infringements are directly proportional to the pressure they are under ... And the weren't under much of that most of the game.
My two bobs worth.
Come on Bob the Wallabies have never been the same since Edward 'Weary' Dunlop stopped playing for them. ... ;)Quote:
