Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

[Stargazer]

Awful injury. Could be his RWC gone.

[Canes4life]

Jeez that looks bad.

[canefan]

I can't remember ever seeing a prop fall under the feet of his front row like that

Ohh, that doesn't look good for Alan. Hope it's not season ending for him.

They reckon if you can feel the pain it isn't as bad as it could be.

And he looks in a lot of pain

[booboo]

Not upvoting. But yeah

@Canes4life said in Australia v All Blacks - Bled I:

Typical Aussies falling apart.

Charming.

The only thing less acceptable is SBW being asked to comment

Thus far the breakdown and shoulders on D are the difference

We look awful and flighty

If we play even somewhat direct we're killing them

I’ve been pretty impressed with the Wallabies organisation and discipline when the ball hits the deck. They seem to have at least 2 at all times there to compete but don’t then overplay their hand.

Pretty clear tactic for us in the first 30 to not commit numbers to the breakdown - really hurt us I think

@booboo said in Australia v All Blacks - Bled I:

Shame. I like Ala'alatoa

Don't want to see that happen to any player - even Quade Cooper...

[Chris]

I hope the Aussies keep coming and putting us under pressure.
We need tough games with pressure on us harden us for the WC.

Tate McDermott captain

I like the way we seem to not panic and changed tactics though.Big step forward. Early days though.

Possibly.

We might profit in the next 20 minutes with being fresher though. Competing in the rucks takes a lot of energy.

Telea playing very well. Looks like we have our starting 11

[Chris]

We should have gone wide there wasted a chance.

Could have called that much earlier this year.

He seeing a lot of ball.

Barrett straight off his feet in that lead up

[ACT Crusader]

Great wrap around
