Could have been very different if the Aussies didn't take so long to get into the game in the first half. They're a big chance next week.
Their slow starts have been a feature in a number of tests this year - at least one against the Lions, Boks and Pumas they have shipped points early and quickly.
-
So if BB is crocked, do they bring Jacomb in?

Not likely with this team, is it?

Oz with the slow starts…ABs (usually) with the poor finishes.
I am sure Razor will point out that the ABs had a decent last 20 mins today and also out scored their opponent in the 2nd half. Progress

Have to be, on NPC form. Be good to see Love get an opportunity as that 10/15 on the bench.

I'd be surprised if they bought anyone in,and if they do, probably a winger like Ioane or Reece,to cover the backfield with Love being backup 10.
-
I thought Clarke played well, just did the basics, rather him at 11 than Ioane.
-
@nostrildamus well if he's crocked, they just run 1 0 then?
@African-Monkey that would be beyond retarded
Edit - forgot Love was a back up for 10...probably

No wonder you have insane people like Shiggins from GAGR when the Aussie comms are behaving with a victim complex like that
In my case, it's nothing to do with the comms.
Piardi was inconsistent with a few calls, and the Wallabies got the rough end of more than their share.
At the same time, we didn't do smart things in the red zone.
If it makes it any better , kiwis aren’t celebrating this either,
We are still underwhelmed by our team

Beaudens been shit ever since he got fake teeth
Getting married ruined him.
Ground zero.

I agree, but we haven't seen any evidence to suggest that they've been looking at another 10. I suppose the bought Plummer in last year so maybe.

He’s a winger, not a 13 that used to play wing. Ioane selection smacks of wanting to keep him in the side because he’s on a AB contract.
If a player isn’t good enough or has to find form, drop them and give them feedback. If they are hungry enough and good enough, they’ll be back.
All Blacks used to be about being at the pinnacle of talent and form.

My impression was the Wallabies were getting away with murder at the rucks. Unlucky that he decided the Wallabies scored from the maul which prevented the PT, but not much else.
At the same time, we didn't do smart things in the red zone.
That statement applies to both teams.
-
Beaudy in a sling. Don’t like to see players get injured but this could be a blessing for the ABs.

@Canerbry Jordie can stay, but yeah I agree Scott and Beauden need to be thanked and wished all the best in their future as former All Blacks.
I wouldn’t mind Ardie as captain, he seems to win a lot more than Scott.
-
Referee was erratic.
Time for DMac to start permanently at 10. About 9 months too late.
Shows how we missed Roigard, Holland and Pat T vs the Springboks.
QT very good.
Holland is a ball supply unit. Needs to start.
Carter going well. Exactly what we need.
Some of the Australian handling was superb.
Biggest moment of the match, Savea turnover. An absolute life saver. -

Selection is subjective and always has been under any coaching group. Plenty of players have been given time in an AB camp to regain form
