TJ might bring some energy
Probably the worst take of the match thread

Shoulder to the head... red card?
@sparky said in Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October:
Has to be a red card.
Not enough replays on the big screen

All Blacks seriously need some succession planning at halfback. The gap between Aaron Smith and the rest is that big.

More succession planning needed at Hooker too.

Cane ducked his head into that right at the tackle. Nothing the tackler could do there. Just an unlucky collision

"Direct contact to the head". Not much mitigation IMO

Check the grounding

Jordan needs to start next game. Jordie really was average today and is lucky that opportunist try will convince most he is an adequate test winger (he had the angle and was nearly caught by the aussie winger who had to cover a much larger distance, i believe nearly all of our backs would have scored in that position.)
-
Silly kick by Jordie. You had numbers to keep ball on hand and build.

A couple of kicks immediately after turnovers (we seemed to do a bit of that) had Mrs Boo climbing the walls. Was funny

For us I particularly liked Coles (attitude, speed, etc.), Cane (everything), Smith (hardly put a foot wrong other than lead up to Oz try), Ritchie, and ALB (apart from foot in touch!). Thought Scooter was good off bench, but Hodgman under the pump from Tupou. TJP non passing game really stunted ABs tonight. Not his sort of game. Roane certainly brought X-factor.
For Oz Slipper excellent in scrum and plenty of great tackling. Paenga-Amosa good in tight. Liked look of Simone and Petaia very dangerous. Tupou monstered Hodgman in at least one scrum.
Lolesio too green to be critical, but Rennie needs some gold at 10. Simmons depowers OZ forwards - @NTA isn't there ANYONE else?
Overall ABs just too sharp in first 40 and won easing down. -
@pakman when we have guys like Clarke and bb outside him...I’d like to see him pass

That's logical, but I think the thinking is miss pass from RM straight to ALB.

Is that a red for Frizell? :man_facepalming:
Same thing that happened to Cane IMO

No. I reckon Frizell's was incidental. Wilson's was more reckless.

How shit is Perenara?
Dare I say it, even Brad Weber would be an upgrade
only in passing.
TJP is a bit Marshall-like -- brings a lot more aroudn the field. His try against Namibia remember, just incredible athelticism
He brought nothing in this game and hasn't for years.
When was the last time he came on in a match and actually improved the team's performance? I appreciate that might be an unfair question, because most substitutes come on and try too hard when the match has basically been decided, but he's played enough tests where we can judge his value properly as a bench option. IMHO, he has little value as a bench option
Bullshit.
Answer the question
His passing can be laboured, but he does a lot of good stuff. His defence is excellent, he generates turnovers, he runs strongly with the ball
And that doesn't answer the question - tell me when, FFS
Fuck you. Did you not read I've been drinking? I don't even remember the question let alone formulate a cohesive answer!
You must be completely shitfaced if you can't see how shit TJP is
How may have you had bro?

Something else noticed.
Ozzie comms way way less one eyed. Kearns saying scrum penalties correct, Kafer back to early broadcasting Kafer.

Not much to complain about when you have a scoreline like that

Wet weather, massive blow out, fun memories of athletic park.
43-6 back in 1996.
This was one point worse for the Aussies, 43-5.

Record margin, but the performance probably didn't deserve it, given we didn't play for 30 minutes after halftime.
But given we didn't play for 30 minutes after half time what a thrashing.

Do you blokes ever get tired of Aus being complete push overs?
Why do we play so many of these fucken things, clearly not on the same level.

But @Derpus given I live on the left side of the pond I did enjoy the buzz around rugby after Wellington, and I'd like the game to get some better press.
