    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Mick Gold Coast QLD" data-cid="536996" data-time="1446310685"><p>I had wondered why Smith kept putting the ball to the short side and Kafer explained it right on half time - it is a clever Hansen touch to keep the ball going away from Lancelot Pocock. All Blacks playing well despite fumble fingers from three or four of the forwards.<br>
     <br>
    They are belting the Wallabies in defence and making ground every time they pounce on the ball. Wallabies not getting a lot of ball.<br>
     <br>
    I saw Kaino in a rare blow up to the referee about something just after his long run down the right, before the last try.</p></blockquote>

    Kafer is a superb analyst .

          If we're first to score again, this game will really open up for our bench in the last 20 minutes. Excellent attitude and territorial dominance by the All Blacjs completely preventing the Wallabies from establishing their game. Huge defence across the oark setting the tone.<br><br>

            <p>Great game so far. We got all the calls in the last 10. Some great interplay between players and last try emphasised the ab skill set. Conrad really straightens well and defence great. Glad to see Dan is nailing them, should be 19-3 if Aaron didn't have a brain fart.</p>

              RWC final is not time to try cute defensive tricks you have only tested on the training ground. The whole shuffling of inside backs to put a loose in the back line may be ok first phase but then everyone has to adjust again. It's worse than having Cooper hiding.

                      The big difference between these two teams:<br>
                      Composure and Defence.<br>
                      The AB's defence is giving them go forward and denying the Wannabies time and space.<br>
                      Go the Blacks!!!

                        An ideal position going into the 2nd half.<br><br>
                        Wallabies have done ok but one gets the feeling....<br><br>
                        This is going to be a Titanic 40 mins.

                            Wow. Kepu headshot on McCaw in final pass for try. I'm noticing a pattern.

                                          <p>Best moment of the first half was when Barnes signalled for a Wallabies ball and Owens overruled it - well not the best, but a good moment nonetheless. </p>
