NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition
-
If I were a psychologist, or half-arsed journalist, I'd come up with some theory about why the All Blacks are so shit in what are pretty much "Exhibition Matches" - and how it means their dominance is in a large part due to "mental strength" or some such.

Fuck we're just so average. There's no real respect for the Wallabies any more.
If Australia weren't so shit, we'd lose.
A weird game, we’ve played poorly at times and defended badly, but will win comfortably.

So, like a game against Samoa or something then? :fishing_pole:

@kruse Yeah and the psychic energy of Mexted

Slow clap

We'll take that.
Felt score was kind of flattering to Aus.
-
Pretty uninteresting game. We did enough to win without really getting out of 1st gear. Beauden's try the stand-out moment in the match. Not much else to talk about other than the midfield which is past it and unlikely to see us through to the RWC.

ALB that was terrible

That spoils your plans tonight. Who else you going to bat over now?

I'll look at the positives:
- scrums were very good, nice return for Laulala
- SBW was so bad that finally even the selectors who love him for some reason must have seen it
- Barrett's place kicking was good
- Barrett's running game still up there
- Retallick got through unharmed
- Ben Smith still as reliable as ever
-
Nice to win against Aussie again, but the English and Irish coaches are going to watch the tape of this AB performance and think "Is that it?"
@sparky they still need to step up, just cos we arnet playing well, they still have to actually win.

Phil Kearns is frustrated at the free ride Nz get from referees
