Might as well let TJ kick the goals - he's having that sort of game

Or fucking Owen Franks.

Owen doesn't want to score points, he just wants to scrum and tackle

And that approach to goalkicking will be worse... how?

[Stockcar86]

TJP needs to stop taking those 3-4 steps at the end of the maul, just fucking pass the ball - he's giving the midfield no chance

[Donsteppa]

Hands like pie grease!

[Mokey]

Meh. Probably about 15 mins of really great play, and 25 mins of shit. That finish kind of summed it up. I hope BB is relieved of kicking duties.

[Rapido]

Aussies look good, Arnold and Timani great additions.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

Oooooh Julian - just dropped a sitter and missed a tackle, badly, on that Wallaby try. Not optimal.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Fucking hell. Savea was away if he caught that. Actually he did catch it then managed to bloody drop it.

BB I've dumped Ben Smith for you. Don't make me regret that decision.

Australia much better attack but this game should be over by now.

He's increasingly there on reputation only.

And thinking Hansen will go to the bench heavily very early in the second half. Too many 80%ers on the park at the moment.

But if Cruden is on early, no fucking chip kicks!

[Billy Tell]

Bloody Barret and his goalkicking. The first was difficult so he gets a pass but it should be 19-7.

Aussie look much better with the balanced backrow and the 2 ginormous locks.

NZ look more dangerous with the ball but only getting limited ball.

Pity we don't have PT to launch from the bench.

Anyone who says Owens doesn't favour the All Blacks is pretty much kidding themselves. This guys gets it

Though Arnold should have just fucking smashed TJP on the spot, and not driven him back 5 metres. Maybe that's acceptable.

Perfectly OK for Franks to grab Timani 2 metres away from a tackle to prevent him forming a ruck, of course.

Even with Nige failing to referee the scrums with any sense, and giving the ABs a bit of a rub, we're in this for now, having given away 2 tries with poor execution.

[dingo]

TJP might not be every ones cup of tea, or craft beer, but thank fuck he is there because at least there is one AB out there tackling the guys who break through the forward defense line.

[hydro11]

Aussies look a lot better on attack but not up to much on defence. We definitely need to secure more possession.

[booboo]

Meh half of rugby.

Clarkie says "entertaining" on Fox Sports. Sums up expectations I suppose

Aus not looking awful.

Think we can lift a bit.

Not sure Wobs can.

Beaudy's goal kicking ... d'oh. He's not lighting it up yet either Beaudy fans. Time to bring on Cruden?

[Stargazer]

TJP and Todd the best ABs of the first half.

huh?

[antipodean]

Word for the first half is inaccurate. That's being kind. They're being outplayed by the Wallabies. Too many missed tackles, too many pushed passes.

Wallabies unlucky to be behind on the scoreboard.

If you're going to say "huh?" you'll have to ask which part of my ramblings in particular you're referring to.
