Bledisloe #2

[Kruse]

@jegga Yeah - currently riding a shitty little chinese 150cc motorbike around Mongolia.
Last week, I lucked out with a hotel room where I got Setanta.
This week - deliberately made today's ride a short one, checked into the most "classy" (relatively, for Mongolia) looking hotel in town... no Setanta.

Shit kick from Mounga.

[Victor Meldrew]

SBW & ALB have neutralised the Oz midfield. Some real good defence

[kiwiinmelb]

Losing last week may have been a blessing in disguise despite the disappointment

Aussies made good yards in first 20 but since then we have dominated.

I think we have a winner of the "TSF Most Dedicated Poster" award....

[Toddy]

Did BB take that kick

[Steven Harris]

Bugger..could have done with ...George Bridge is definitely playing his way into that RWC squad.

It's kinda funny, right when the Aussies started to build some pressure midway through the half they suddenly folded.

As predicted: ABs couldn't play as poorly as last week again, and we couldn't play as well.

Big score coming up to the home side

Bridges is having a whale of a game. Everywhere on the park. I'm being converted

Good Gisborne boy.

[kev]

Hope we don’t go soft in second half. Aussies have taken the mistake baton from us. Need to drive home advantage.

That sounds very cool .

My brother in law used to like it there, there’s a species of trout that grows to four feet long he used to fly fish for.

He reckoned the alcohol consumption amongst the locals was on a par with Russians too .

Sonny has been quietly excellent. All round improvement in effort and the accuracy is coming along. The BeaMo double pivot experiment is looking good, Cane and Ardie are looking much better because of greater effort up front. Bridge is mustard and Reece is playing well

[mariner4life]

Did we miss that? I took a piss based on assumption

Not bad, but far from great. Not creating much, but better defensive sting, and some great pressure from Smiths kicking.

[NTA]

Also: if Foley had missed either of those penalties, Brumbies fans would be calling for his head

[Billy Tell]

I hope coles is told to take a shower at half time. What a fckin idiot. Use those 2 brain cells man.

Otherwise very happy. Owen franks will be a nervous man. I think Ioane and Smith are safe. Loose forwards top top class. And to my surprise Patrick has been ok too.

Not convinced about Reece. But bridge can be very happy. I’d still take Ennor ahead of Reece I think.

[kev]

@Steven-Harris Bridges’s work rate shining through.

[Tim]

Oz are a rabble this week. Getting done by that 7 man scrum.

Franks can't make the WC squad at this rate.

Read's defence more potent this week.

[Victor Meldrew]

Biggest plus for me for me is how we are playing with 14 men. No headless-chicken stuff, just calmly upped our game.
