@kiwiinmelb Usually we don;t get physically dominated toobut last game....

You expecting that twice in a row ? Just curious

I haven’t seen anything from the All Blacks in the last 12 months to make it look like it’ll be as easy as just going up a gear like they used to after a loss. Especially with one of the passenger props somehow still starting. My main hope is the Aussies overthinking the Eden Park thing.

No idea. Every media pundit is talking about the BLACKLASH - whelp we haven't seen one for ages

Draw vs Boks this year, Defeat to Ireland, Loss to SA last year, lost ot Lions - lots of talk about the ABs coming 'raginag back' after a defeat - but not for a couple of years now

I’m expecting a more physical response, more even possession, and the team that executes best will win

Started raining here

Has to be an advantage to us you would think

Yeah, we picked a huge pack with a hard tackling 6 well suited to the grind in the wet, plus we have a very tall right winger who is proven to be great under the high ball. :frowning_face:

I was talking more about ball handling , usually we handle that part better than the Aussies in the wet

Hmmm... Ball handling is pretty good this year eh.

Our backs have also shown worrying levels of poor handling. Hard to imagine an Athletic Park - level effort from them tonight.

I think Ardie measured Reece.

Looks like slightly different conditions to last week. Have to say I haven't had this test match feeling for a while and I like it.

I recall when we finally got the Bledisloe Cup back in 2003. I was in holiday in Fiji with my young family. We watched the game on a big screen near the hotel. Half the Fijians were Lote Tuquiri supporters and half were Joe Rockokoko fans. It was a close match. Four points in it. I expect something similar tonight.

Not interested in a Blacklash.

Just want them to be intelligent, error-adverse and calm - and win.

Alright fuckers strap in

I've had a day where shit has gone wrong (my donkey) and right (the Lions)

So how does my day ultimately end up?
