Bledisloe I

[kev]

@KiwiMurph Reiko got stood up by Folau in the first half a couple of times but was much more physical in defence in 2nd half. Great on attack.

Watching Aussie players celebrating scoring trys while being pumped for a record score really sums up where they are at.

Yeah moral victories are awesome, when I get home from the pub I'm going to have moral sex.

I saw a comedian once who referred to it as Men's horlicks

From Fox Twitter:

Total Tries (12) & Points (88) are both #BledisloeCup records.

Previously 11 tries (1936) & 77 points (2010) #AUSvNZL

That was a team that lost to Scotland

At home

That put 30 plus points on us .

It wasn't the starters easing off. The reserves simply weren't doing the job and as per the Third Test against the Lions, couldn't maintain pressure.

TJP was poor again - he's like a puppy that pisses itself from excitement. DMac was a nightmare at fullback with his errors and individualism.

Charlie F...please come back.

[Mokey]

We lost a heap of backline structure when A Smith and Crotty went off. Didn't help that SBW was seeing tweety birds, either.

[Derm McCrum]

Well that was......

[Stargazer]

Strange. I didn't think TJ was that poor. He was one of the few bench players who IMO made a good effort of trying to stop the Wallabies getting back into the game.

I like ALB as a player, but we seem to lose our shape when Crotty isn't on the field. He copped a nasty tackle from behind right in the lower back region.

His defence was okay, but his attack and game control was worst than normal. It was very poor.

@antipodean yes TJ just needs to chill. That pass that DMac gave just after Kieron Reads big talk was symptomatic of 2nd half. Piss poor.

Move along, nothing to see here

Hate is a strong word but not strong enough for Nick Phipps.

[Stargazer]

I hope they'll give Havili a run at fullback at some point (when he has been in camp with the ABs longer). I'm keen to find out whether he is a good option in the 15 jersey.

You leave the mighty Scots out of this

Anyway Bledisloe #2 starts in about 3 hours...

[kev]

@akan004 not sure about either of our reserve prop options.

Could't agree more, can't stand the guy.

Yep - a good a summary as any. Kazakhstan would have scored a couple against that defence in the first half.
