Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth)

Ok I officially love Akira he has x Factor real teamwork there he could have scored himself.
I am converted. -
This will be an unpopular opinion, but sober NZZP now thinks that a Red was the right call.
It was a reflex action by JB to losing balance, but ultimately if you raise your sprigs you open yourself up to the ref. No matter the intent, raised sprigs to the face are going to result in a Red every time. If JB doesn't lift his foot, then it's play on, but as soon as that happens I think Red is the right call. Reckless play, but that's life.

Some English twit on a page on FB thought the red was justification for Umaga and Mealamu “getting away with thuggery” in 2005.
I got some popcorn and was ready to read all the hateful comments but someone deleted it. Stink.

Interesting stat that the Wallabies had more carries and metres made?
@nostrildamus made my point.
Often the better team will have less time in possession because they'll score earlier in possession, and the lesser team will throw waves of attack against a better D.

Tackler must release. So....
So does the ball carrier?

And both of them "immediately".

The media have a lot to answer for.

As bad as all the bullshit was in 2005 imagine how bad it would be in 2021 ? Umaga and Mealamu would cause servers to have meltdowns with all their tearful public apologies they were forced to make.

@nzzp and yet if someones head was on the ground and you kicked it, same result....
Guess the kicker (boom) will be the length of rest he gets.

I like what you did there

No Whitelock, Smith, mounga. Savea and Taylor off early.
Still Aussie not even in it, even with 20mins at 14, and a very home ref performance.

Moody, Cane, Goodhue, Coles. Throw in Clarke (although I'd have him outside the XXIII), and a couple of rotations.

Jordie deserves a bit of luck. Best fb last year and probably this also. Hasnt had a fair run I reckon.
Also if BB and JB are in the side, JB should take the goal kicks and touch finders

Much more of this and I may have to consider that maybe Foster isn’t completely clueless.
Sacrilege

@stargazer Was thinking if players need to be (or can be) brought into the squad.
Next hooker and fullback on the list, but Savea is harder as he covers 7, 8, and 6. Tom Robinson is the next best loose forward, but 6 is covered. Who are the next best at 7 and 8?

Jacobsen to 8, Blackader covers from the bench

What was the general feeling on BB and DMac?
Beaudy did some lovely things and will be better for the run. Given the general kicking display I'm loathe to rip into him about that - it looked like everyone had some issues there for some reason.
DMac did nothing bad and nothing great.
Have they swapped to adidas balls, same thing happened in TT , noone kicked any good in Aus.
Opposite, NZ use Adidas balls, this game (and everything outside NZ) use Gilbert

Yep, well I knew it was or other, just know the kickers were talking about it during TT. Apparently they fly differently or something. Hell it's like cricket balls to me , everyone talks about the brand of ball, but thay all just cricket balls to me! This is same.

i was surprised how different the balls were, we use gilbert at the club but one of the hookers brought down his adidas ball to practice throwing...its super light, noticeably different to even the match day gilbert
