This happens to pretty much every player reaching in to steal the ball. It happens to Pocock all the time because that's all he farking does. It's quite indicative of the type of player he is that he stands out every time we pump them. In other words when getting hammered he's good at getting his team a little less hammered. Awesome, he made 5 turnovers in a 40 point loss! God forbid he actually make an effective hit up and do something with the ball. Or win a line out.
Where did you see his stats? I saw he’d made a pitiful amount of ground at one stage then he made a run a few minutes later but it was all sideways.
Yeah recall seeing late in the game that he had made 4 runs for a grand total of 5 meters. I make it further when I roll out of bed in the weekend.
Turnovers were only 2 as wellBest player in the world! He's ineffective at every aspect of the game other than turnovers and he doesn't get enough of those in a manner that his team can really benefit from. How many of his turnovers immediately lead to a counter attack?
He's just as dirty and niggly as other players, and whinges to the ref. On more than one occasion I've seen Hooper tell him to shut up.
Whenever I meet someone who proclaims him to be the best player in the world, or would walk into the All Blacks, I immediately recognise the person I'm talking to knows nothing about rugby.

Made me laugh when he pointed out to the ref that Squire was ‘out cold’ early in the game. The comms wanked on that he’s a fine person with amazing sportsman ship qualities. Fuck off he just wanted Squire off the field to do and probably fail a HIA

Cane maybe if you're on crack.

The more i watch Barrett's fourth try (it's ridiculous even typing that by the way) the more i think it's going to take some catching as try of the year.

His 1st fourth try or 2nd fourth try? (5th try)

@mariner4life yep, from the wide angle you thought those 2 coming toward one another had him, but the little fend and he was gone...pure unadulterated speed

I'm not going to post the link but I read what the Walrus had to say about this game. He was very complimentary but probably wrote that through gritted teeth. The most amusing part, which he acknowledges, is that the scores in Bled I and II does put the Irish series win into context. The NH scribes won't be able to criticise the Wallabies too much without diminshing that achievement.

@taniwharugby are we talking about the same try?

Not sure he is but to be fair B.B scored around 11 tries during the game.

My favourite was his legit 3rd try. Hooper was in no man's land.

Just terrible defence from the Wallabies. Why on earth you'd rush out of your defensive line like that as captain, leaving a massive hole for Beaudy to run through is mystifying.
Same as Squires' try - simple lack of communication leaving Squire unmarked. Peach of a pass but.

interesting point made by Hansen in his presser about the ABs should be getting funding fro HP Sports NZ.
It will no doubt get plenty of others up in arms, but at the end of the day, they must meet all the criteria the likes of rowing, cycling etc are held to for thier funding, just because they are for the most part, self sustainable, does that mean they shouldnt get funding?
The Tall Black, White Ferns and a bunch of others I expect all play in sports that they could be self sustainable if they were good enough, but I expect they get funding?

Actually if you want to complain about dirty play, check out Pocock's tackle on BB when he scored the the first try. Came in off side and took him around the neck.
The guy is a farking grub, but hides behind the halo and jazz hands.

And yet the SMH media are busy complaining about how he was targeted at the breakdown. And today his neck is really stiff and sore. Well, if that's the measure I didn't realise most of my life I was playing Test rugby. Fuck a duck.
