NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition

The first slap, that lead to Taylor's push etc

Honestly living in Australia you really get fed up with the ex-private school boys (who are all Liberal Party voters) who make excuses for their shithouse team blaming the ABs’ dominance on some clandestine conspiracy by referees. Kearns is the worst of them.

Fuck they wete pathetic tonight, real whinging, finger pointing victim mentality.
When Simmons was held up over the try line on the first half, Kafer ( who used to be one of the best but is now just a narc), was calling for the TMO for DMac contact with the head!
But the game
As for that scrum on the 22 for Australia on their " we gotta score next" comeback bid, the goto move is a static backline and a hail Mary kick to God's favourite??!That's all you got in your fucken notebooks?
Fuck off Australian rugby, come back when you're not so fucking soft!!

Not so much smoke blowing in this report from AP, I wonder who the scribe is?

Like Scott Barrett heaps more. He is the future for sure after Retirements.
He was out played by Rob Simmons for fucks sake
-
Saw most of it. Basic skills are still shit. Folau still goes from diamonds to fucking rocks every time he tries to pass the ball. People still say Foley isn't good enough, despite him being one of the few out the with anything that looks like commitment and composure. Latu is still a fucking idiot.
On the other hand, we only lost by 17.
Shit AB team.

I hope the folks in Yokohama can sort out the digital ads, the terrible playing surface, the empty seats and the flat atmosphere ahead of next year's World Cup.
There were 46000 ppl there for a neutral game, and Japan played the day before (and is playing next week!)
Not bad IMO and the atmosphere was good around us - lots of polite interaction between punters.. The ozzies behind us were really realistic about how shit their team is....

@gt12 I make that over 30,000 empty seats. You won't see that number of empty seats for the international games coming up in Europe combined.

@kev He isn't the best impact player anymore either.
He's been fucking superb off the bench all year. I get you want Mo'unga there but DMac has been great in black this year.
Except making the error to lose the game vs Boks in Wellington....

Wait, what? DMac getting the ball knocked out by a defender was more of an error in losing the game than Jordie throwing the ball to a Saffa to score a try?

Certainly not for England or Ireland but the Italy game is also in a huge stadium and won't sell out.
It's a bit unfair to judge on empty seats when the capacity is so big and it isn't a tier 1 country. -
I might add that the capacity for that stadium is currently about 72,000 (I guess they will add more for the WC), so with 46,000 in, it was 26,000 short of capacity and about 2/3 full. Fantastic effort given that Japan is playing next week. I imagine that game will be a sell out or close (i.e., within 10% of capacity). If not, I'll happily buy you a beer next time you are here*.
*and to be honest, I'd buy you one anyway (because I'll take any ferners willing) to my favorite sake bar where I buy the beer and you buy the sake. Drink three and you are a winner.

We did what we needed to do. Showed some me good intensity at times but mixed in with some sloppy play.
Like the other tests against Aussie this year we looked excellent when out wide.

ALB & Goodhue
Crotty just offers nothing and SBW tried hard but sort of failed.
Change the midfield before we end up moving Ben Smith to centre on the evening the RWC.
