I can see Akira’s getting a bit of confidence and jawing. Long as some one is there to modulate I’m good with it.
Aha. The Akira stink face. Drop him.
Was quite cool to see Rieko run in and pull him away from Hooper after that scrum pen.

@kirwan low numbers for a Bledisloe. Maybe cost is too much 2 weeks in a row? Nothing better than seeing the ABs deal to the Wallabies.
Wasn’t enough warning I suspect. Think of it this way, it was like playing Oz in Hamilton.
respect to you and my ageing parents who made the most to get out there, the rest of you within 2 hour travel are soft fluffybunnies

For Taylor's first try, Akira Ioane got mediocre ball but attracted 3 defenders and got over the advantage line with a fairly quick recycle. Whitelock came in with a hell of a cleanout, which helped create space for Smith. Oz were also very slack on covering the blindside. Space seen, heads-up play activated, gas off the mark, great try.
That clean-out from Whitelock was fucking beautiful.

@bones If a time-shift had occurred and Eden Park was transported back 25 years ago, I would have fucking loved to have seen biff tonight.
@Kirwan would have run on and cleaned up. So manly.

Whisper it not, but in the 2nd 40, Foster's ABs are starting to look and play like a really good team.
Heresy

Just watched the highlights
Bloody fucking hell all round
Tempo of the match
Attacking intent
Tremendous skills, even more so when it started pissing down
ABs ruthlessBut fuck me every time Australia made it interesting they went and fucked it right up

Also, that dumb aussie trying to go for the ball when it came out of the ruck.

Ta'avao is THAT shit
I could copy and paste this every week.
I love him but he’s not good enough to be an All Black.
Foster
And your alternative is?

I absolutely love seeing Akira in the midfield like that.
Can't possibly gave been coached to do that ...
(Can't wait to catch up to the thread where I pilloried for suggesting the coaches had anything to do with a 35 point win.)
