Bledisloe 2

Donsteppa

Wallabies showing up plenty of cracks in the All Blacks defence over the last two weeks - individually and systemically. Hold onto the ball for a few minutes and eventually we miss a tackle... or two... or three...

That last try was sublime.

Much better effort from Australia but that first 20 from NZ was appalling.

Fuck Dmac and SBW right off.

I heart Laulala. The scrum was insane. Pity they did almost fark all with it.

Moody was owning Alaalatoa. He's your love interest.

Holy crap Genia ran well tonight. Haven't seen that for years. It was always a massive strength of his (along with those bullet slightly forward passes/line balls)

I know we all want competitive Bledisloe games but Fuk me I'm glad I have a defibrillator.

We looked like last week was our warm up. Genia included. McMahon as well.

Debutant did alright but who the fuck from our side jumped into him at that restart? We HAD that restart

Awesome, awesome match.
Had it all.
Round of applause to both sides.

I thought we adjusted pretty well in that second half. We played a little deeper and tried a few different things.

Good to get a win against Australia anytime, but feels even better stealing it near the death

Subs did not choke this time. That last try was S Barrett short ball to Read, to Perenara to B Barrett. Great combo like they had been playing together all game

Yeah would have been great for the neutrals, good showcase of Rugby.

Can somebody start a fundme campaign to convince Ben Smith not to go on holiday?

@NTA McMahon far more prominent in defence and around the park. Hooper had the fire in the belly and I can't fault the guys effort tonight he was into everything trying to will his team to victory.

Haven't watched the game yet looking forward to the replay....

....of the reactions in the Aussie coaches box.

Who lit the fuse under Rieko? Bugger me that boy was on fire! Laulala.....shown previously why in ABs but tonight made his reputation.
Big shout to Wallabies though, no unnecessary niggle, just physical and really sharp on attack and defense. Genia MOM.

SBW had a very poor game. But apart from his initial stupid pas DMac was good enough

But overall an excellent game. Thank god Aust stepped up.I was bored at HT last week. But with this game and the drawn Lions series

Perenara was superb when he came on. Made a big difference

Damned ! I was away from home so I had to record the game but that 15 min delay in the kick off has certainly made me miss the last 10 minutes !

Stockcar86

I hope Sam Cane is OK. Glad that Dane made it through with no head knocks

canefan

Good on the wobs for coming to play but I can't help feeling like we did all we could to lose that. Did just enough, which showed mental fortitude but it shouldn't have been that close

Shit - not a good game for that to happen.

Samurai Jack

Yeah, funny but tonight, a much, much better feeling that last week. Tonight was a friggen test match! Awesome!

Kirwan saying the Wallabies deserved to win tonight :rolling_eyes:
