Bledisloe 3

[NTA]

Patience, dickheads

[Stargazer]

HIA for Hames; Crockett on.

[Stargazer]

Try Folau

[No Quarter]

Excellent try, game on.

[hydro11]

We have been on top and the Wallabies are making heaps of mistakes but we have just put no pressure on them over the last ten minutes.

[Tregaskis]

Nice try folau. Ran an acute angle and gassed the forwards.

[reprobate]

You've got to laugh when Justin Marshall finally says something right - about folau running too lateral - then folau immediately runs laterally and scores.
Sometimes you just can't catch a break.

Agreed, this is a poor looking Wallabies side, and somehow we go into halftime only one point ahead... hmmm.

[chimoaus]

That was an impressive lead up to that try. Beale took a high ball on their 22 and they phase played it up the field easily.

Squire's defensive impact is minimal.

Very poor six by AB standards.

[NTA]

@tim I barely noticed him until I saw him at a lineout.

But the ABs aren't running it much at the moment. Think we'll see that change toward the back end

[Nepia]

@nta Your pessimism and abuse of your team worked wonders in that last 5 minutes.

Am I allowed to say that Crotty has looked average tonight without getting my head bitten off?

[Tim]

AB's have kicked quite a bit of ball away. That last bomb from Sopoaga was such a waste.

I think that was a misread by SBW who came in for hooper when he should have stayed out.

[Tim]

@nepia Crotty has not looked sharp at all tonight.

[Billy Tell]

Sam Cane is having a monster game. Otherwise really missing retallick and Squire anonymous.

Butter fingers in the backs and McKenzie back to taking wrong options at times.

[reprobate]

Naholo going well eh. Looks the part tonight.

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah weird game. Underwhelmed by a few but still a half game to go.

Aussies jersey is nice.

Barnes is still a cock.

[NTA]

@nepia we have an intercept and one decent build up of phase play. In the meantime we've dropped about 8 good opportunities in possession.

Read hasn't taken a bad option IMHO - the sticks were easy decisions when you're dominating territory.

But I think we will see a bit more intent second half with ball in hand.

ABs missed 14 tackles of 80. Wallabies missed 6 of 42.

Yep, and he has even made smart defensive decisions like not tackling Folau in the air.
