Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

@KiwiMurph there is that but they are lacking simple skill execution all over the park, especially the two wingers.

[taniwharugby]

Dominant all over bar the scrum, which is messy, guess the wet surface has a bit to do with that.

[Number 10]

Before the match, no way did I think we would get 26 points in the first half.

At halftime, it's a bit frustrating we only scored 26 points in the first half.

[Siam]

The lads at the game will be lapping this up!

[chimoaus]

I think Rennie might have them believing they are better than they are. As White said just way too many errors.

[Derpus]

Welp the next gen appear to be as bad as the last. Gunna be a looong decade. If we make it that far.

[Winger]

Aust badly lack depth. Its an issue for a combined super rugby competition

[Toddy]

Shit this is a poor Wallaby team.

[Siam]

Might want to ditch that new jersey...

[taniwharugby]

@Toddy possibly, more that they are playing so poorly is the issue.

[Victor Meldrew]

Half-time thoughts

AB's very controlled. Very few mistakes in general play and very physical at breakdown. Ball retention has been outstanding. Defence is vicious at times. Both JG & ALB dominating in midfield. 6/7/8 really look a unit.

Close call between ALB & Ritche as to best in Black, for me. Caleb Clarke has a pretty good all round game - some good touches in defence.

Wobbles seem unable to string things together and their kicking has been woeful. Inexperience is showing I think. Could get ugly if there's a repeat of the 1st half, but we've been here before...

[Mokey]

Good to know our six moles are doing excellent work. Seven with Rennie.

If this is the Tri Nations, does that mean we can win that trophy back from Australia as well?

[chimoaus]

Smith's box kicks have been sublime.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus 1 was pretty shit

[taniwharugby]

@Anonymous did they win the last 3N?

Guess it us a new 3N trophy?

[Siam]

Ok, so usually we go off the boil from here. Aus grit makes a bit of a stalemate before we stroll over the line good with a couple of late tries but a little underwhelming second half.

Can Fozzies team get another 4 tries and keep the foot on?

That'd be something of an improvement

[Jailbreak7]

For mine Coles has been top notch today

[hydro11]

Everything is going well except for the scrum. We should be ahead by 40, really. Unfortunate combination for the Wallabies of us playing well and their flaws being exposed badly.

Yeah, last one was in 2011 and they won it
