Bledisloe 2

@kiwiinmelb If you go to their facebook page, you will find a much longer version as they also have an aftershow where they will answer questions posed to them on facebook.

I agree, they are fantastic. I also enjoy the Rugby Report Card podcast which is now available on Green and Gold. Lots of swearing but they present a fair and unbiased analysis.

I think his antics re decision making are way over the top and strongly dislike them.
Hansen takes it a bit too far into dead fish territory, often hard to tell if he's even awake -but I much prefer that approach to histrionics.

I love the iso-cam in the Wallabies coaches box. But boy, what a difference five years makes. In contrast to Cheike's "passion" Robbie Deans was practically catatonic.

@jegga bit of a non-story really.

I was leaping all over the show moments earlier when we had scored, which seemed premature when Beale crossed!

Bit over the top reactions to this game it seems ...

However, it does appear that Read must have congratulated / acknowledged the Aussies in the post-match speech ... not read that one yet.

[Crucial]

For Gregan and Eales especially it is a little bit of balancing. Both involved in last minute acts that won games for the Convicts. Mitchell has surely been in teams that have been on the other end as well.
No problem with them celebrating Beales try, they would be pretty boring fuckers if they didn't. It is quite sweet to watch the reactions moments later though.

Dont mind these aussie guys , always give an unbiased view , they discuss Cheikas antics

Yeah, I enjoy that show. They might actually be venturing into biased territory against Cheika though. They've been baying for his blood since last year. In the early days he appeared on the show a few times so I assume it's not personal.

Article by Stuart Barnes in today's Times notes that Aaron Smith didn't kick once in Aussie tests. I had missed that.

Reminds me of pool games against minnows in last RWC. The wise men are upping the pressure to make Rugby Championship better preparation for Japan.

I guess if the Aussies won't give us a hard test we have to help them out
