The selection of DMac shows Fozzie is looking back instead of looking forwards. If he wants to succeed its time to break from the Shag playbook at pick some of the young talent we have

You mean think like Rennie there is an idea.

Perhaps Hansen's favourites could piss off on a rebel tour?

[Machpants]

@Stag 40% possession is pretty common for the ABs for years, that's not a real problem. It's getting through the line, nobody was really doing that

[akan004]

Have we not learnt a thing? Where was the dropkick?

We might need a weekend at Bernies play with Fozzie

Perenara was shit at the end. Bad options, shit passes.

Him and RM completely bottled it at the end

Congratulations Fozzie. You did something Henry or Hansen didn’t achieve and that is lose the first Bledisloe match against a new Wallabies coach.

Slow starters, new combos, inexperienced backline, silver linings, hope, the draw we needed to have

No - Robbie Deans won his first Bledisloe Cup match in 2008: 34-19 in Sydney.

@junior Mounga was at rucks rather than first receiver. Complete choke.

Should be Dmac at full back with Clarke/Jordan on the wings.

I feel Jordies eventually going to get moved to the midfield. Doesnt offer enough as an international outside back and not enough pros to keep out the talented outside backs we have available.

Riekos easily our best center. Been in amazing form, aside from the moronic touchdown.

So.....We're basically fucked.

Our coaches are shit and we've only got about two players who are up to playing in tests.

Luckily we can call up Flash Jordan....AAAAH..AAAH ....King of the Impossible!

if they picked my team they would win by 40

Why not 50?

The wallabies look quite good

@kpkanz did you watch the game with your eyes closed

He was set up before going in but then nothing happened to get him the ball.

In the last few minutes was when Richie actually played good. The rest was very average.

If I never see DMac in black again, I'll be happy.

I don't think so Rieko was average he fell of tackles ,Got out of position on defence butchered a try he is a wing at test level not a centre.

[Stag]

@ACT-Crusader he played well at the end when the All Blacks actually kept possession

[kpkanz]

@mofitzy_ Was probably top 3 in the first half but ok..

Clearly not based on his performance in this match.

Are the highs worth the lows?

Moron Kirwan about the loose forwards:

"I liked the balance."

There's a lot of stupid people in NZ rugby from the CEO down.
