Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth)

Just a few comments.
The Jordie red was utterly fűcking retarded. Absolutely ridiculous decision.
Akira had already arrived but now he's surely here to stay.
Reiko is an excellent winger and should stay there.
BBBR is returning to beastmode.
Jordan was pretty damn good and IMHO has the best kicking game out of all the backs. Damn!
Weber was very solid.
BB looked very good, but those kicks!!!! Wtf man?
Havili is growing on me. Can't fault him.
Nick White looks like some absolutely fucking ridiculous comic book character and I don't think there is a sane person alive who would disagree.

Two games against Australia a year is more than enough these days. I'd rather see the ABs play against Japan more often than these multiple one-sided games against Aussie.

Rancid Schnitzel

Oh yeah Kerevi is a very good player but those penalties were for junior level shit. Teach the man the rules of the game.

Tim

That Swinton guy has looked like a right chump in these games.

@rancid-schnitzel Mrs CF doesn't watch a lot of rugby these days. Saw White and the first thing she said was "who's the guy with the stupid moustache? "

Tim

@canefan Should have started though, he's quality.

They got them the wrong way around?

Probably should be kicking goals for them too.

I actually enjoyed the Fiji games more. At least you had that immense physical test in the first 60 or so.

Hooker is a massive problem if Taylor is not right for next week.

I think we are okay-ish in other positions.

taukeiaho is great, needs to work on lineout throws but early days.

His long throw is a work on. But otherwise he is an accurate tiger for work.

No Quarter

He often looks really good off the bench, then starts based on that and is far less effective so goes back to the bench.

No Quarter

Also credit to Weber he was very solid today

Tim

There was a throw early on from Taylor to Retallick at the back of the lineout - it was beautiful.

booboo

Had to watch this delayed and haven't read the thread so I'll give my tupopence and see how that equates to the wisdom of TSF.

Got the impression the Wobbles were barely hanging on but kind of did it well enough to hang on and be in contention for longer than they deserved.
Beauden played awesome but wtf the fuck was with his goal kicking.
Red card was bollocks. Could wear a yellow maximum, but even then it was a stretch. Where was the yellow on the Wob for taking the man in the air?
Ioanes go ok huh?
Akira MOTM
Damon had a shocker on I think BBBR which admittedly became Bridge's try when he tackled a bloke then was penalised for "not releasing". WTF? Tackled and held must release. Dick.
I like Blackadder but he's not in our best XXIII
Being less convinced by Havili. Has looked less assured as the test season has worn on. However given he is the best option at 12 as our best option at 12 is currently our best option at 13 given the absence of our best 13.

Will read the thread now as opportunity arises. Other thoughts as they come to hand.

I think the ABs should thank the Fijian forwards, was a good test for them.

No way. Ours is one of the best imo.

I love our anthem as much as anyone, but it's a goddamn dirge. Aus's is faster, upbeat and uplifting.

As long as we win the rugby I'm happy, but we start behind in the anthem contest
