their anthem always beats ours. So much better

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

@booboo there are plenty of good WA singers. Mind some of them are dead from overdoses or in jail for fiddling with little girls...

Looks hot

It’s 22 degrees and no doubt a nice breeze across the stadium as there usually is.

Was 1996 the last day test between the ABs and Wallabies?

I seem to recall 1998 had at least one day time test? Tom Bowman making big yards in Christchurch.

Was there any Bledisloe games in 1998?

How is that AB ball? Moving forward Laws changed?

Correct call at scrum. Poor elbow from slipper

Should have been pk ABs, 1 orange lying on black side

@yeetyaah said in Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth):

Weird call.

No. Pretty standard I thought.

@booboo Soooo..... Havili....mmm.....more specific, please. I can't fault him at this stage. Defense is sound, an extra playmaker, involved in everything, great distribution....
So what's the problem?

@machpants said in Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth):

I'll ask again, who is the lady next to SBW? I don't think it's roz, unless she has a great tan

This is her, I think.

Akira Ioane's big work ons:

Jackling. He's a big guy, but that's not an excuse. Gets the odd turnover for the Blues but gives away ruck penalties too. May lack confidence as well as skills there.

Link play. Not a traditional big six strength, but could up fitness and improve decision making to get involved more in support. First half of 2019 Super Rugby his link play was excellent, maybe lacks confidence or decision making of when to switch lines.

Decision making of when to stay on his lines and when to hit the ruck or link off his line. Does this very well late in the game, but could increase involvement in first 50 minutes by being able to pick when to get involved. That kind of decision making could be the difference between a very good player and a great player.

[Stargazer]

@old-samurai-jack I agree. I think some people are still comparing him too Nonu, and that's unfair. It's better to compare him with Crotty, and then he's really growing well into that role. He was excellent tonight.

Context was that he was talking.
That was one of his worst stints at the mike tonight and he’s had some shockers.
Tripping over himself, spouting his lack of knowledge at the laws then carrying on about his opinion even when he realises it was incorrect, praising Will Jordan effusively whenever he got within 20 metres of the play, calling Bridges try as if he had just stepped and fended his way through the defence.....it was endless verbal diarrhoea.

[Bovidae]

I could be wrong but it seemed obvious that Nisbo and Meg were commentating from a studio in NZ, not at the stadium. That doesn't excuse Marshall's lack of knowledge of the laws, but at least he is consistent.

[Derpus]

be interesting to see how this AB backrow go against a real team. Akira always looked legit to me and was surprised when guys like Frizell got a go ahead of him.

That said, hes only played Aus which basically counts for nothing.

@nevorian said in Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth):

Akita man of the match hardly suprising

Akita must be his beastmode name..

[Old Samurai Jack]

Haven't seen a performance from a NZ No.6 like tonight since peak Kaino. Akira's influence was huge.

[Tim]

@old-samurai-jack Think his decision making and jackling could get a lot better too.

Australia national anthem is shit. Should replace it with that We are Australian song. No young and free to be upset about either. I've always really liked GDNZ. Any foreign mates who've heard it have also rated it.

[mariner4life]

That is now the worst red card I've ever seen

Yay rugby

Lol
