Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

h yes, it's time for "just wanted it more" and "played with more passion" which are all bullshit at the top level. Gregan said as much nigh on 20 years ago.
The Wallabies were balls deep in the game for just about all of it. They had ascendency in a number of areas all afternoon. Small things made the difference, not many of them to do with psyche.
The main difference was, to me at least, we managed to force a few more errors that our gameplan relies on. That came about because of a change in focus. This week was about being physical. I'm pretty sure the players said as much. It created us more opportunities to feed off. And we took those opportunitie.
Australia created plenty of their own with some clever ball movement, but weren't able to take them. Bang, 20 points. Fire in the belly had fuck all to do with it.

just wanted it more
full credit to the boys though, they did well, it was a game of 2 halves and I think it was probably due to the ladies in the kitchen though, I mean, compared to the ladies in the kitchen in 1995, we have come along way!

question, thoughts on the AB's alternate strip, do we feel as strongly about a white strip as we do the All Black? would people consider something with some Maori motifs? white with Black and Red?

@Kiwiwomble agreed. Gold one is my first choice. The new one with the white is third. I thought the one from RWC last year was pretty good as well and comes in second

We shouldn't ever, ever! If the French aren't pissing around with their blue then it is only the Scots that screw it up.

I believe an AB jersey shouldn't be messed around with too much, however I reckon some subtle Maori designs on the white strip could be quite cool.

Silver isn't a colour it's a metal - grey is a colour. Just the same as gold is a metal, and yellow is a colour.
It confuses Australians all the time.

It cracked me up when I learned that the colour Aussies insist on calling Gold (from their beloved Green and Gold) had a Pantone code with the name 'Yellow'

@Crucial "Canary Yellow"
@Kiwiwomble said in Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October:
@Crucial "Canary Yellow"
Sadly not.
It is (according to Pantone) a part of the Yellow spectrum and I will admit that it is closer in composition to a shade called 'Golden' (as opposed to Gold) than to pure yellow.
But it is still yellow. -

If Rieko wants to be a centre then we have to judge him as a centre, rather than his body of work on the wing. If that's the case then no way he starts ahead of ALB and JG, he's just not in their class yet despite his obvious talent. He's on the bench for mine, coming on in the final 20 to get some experience in the position and wrecking some havoc. We shouldn't move him back to wing as he will never settle and realise his potential in the midfield otherwise.
At the moment we simply don't have a world class right winger. Jordan has the attributes but there are questions marks over his defense. So Jordie it is for now, as much as I'd prefer him at 15.

I have liked your post for the bit about Rieko but disagree that Jordie has the attributes to be a world class wing.
Even his brother recognised it last week when he made inroads down Jordie's flank, looked at him and took contact instead of passing and watching him get bundled into touch. -
