Too many forwards in the backbone and not at the breakdown.</p></blockquote>

Worked pretty well...

Amazing kick by DC to cap off an impressive forward display. We rumbled up 70 m eventually wore them down with beautiful support play. Total rugby indeed

[sparky]

Forty minutes from Everest. Lets knock this bastard off.

[Crash]

<p>Right 40 mins left to win this thing...</p>

[Winger]

<p>What a great try. A joy to watch</p>

[Blackeye]

<p>And was that the 3rd penatly there for Kepu - High shot on Mcaw </p>

[Canerbry]

<p>EPic, epic match so far, Wallabies somehow clinging in there. Too many big performances across the field to single anyone out.</p>

[sparky]

Golden stuff from DC in the first half. Shades of that test against the Lions in Wellington over ten years ago from the maestro.

[canefan]

We look like men possessed, most telling that we are wearing them down physically, 2 down already

[booboo]

Only half the game gone .... shit shit shit<br><br>
Way to finish the half<br><br>
Going good so far<br><br>
Nige liking us i feel

[Damo]

<p>Thank goodness for the last 10 minutes.  At the 30 minute mark I was fearing it might be a repeat of 2011 - lots of dominance but stuff all points to show for it.  We really turned the screws at the back end of the half.  Wallabies only just holding on  Feeling very good about things now.     </p>

Excellent half of Rugby from the men in Black. Showing great dicipline, structure, and control.<br>
Forcing the Wannabies to play the game that suits the AB's.<br>
Right now I'd characterize the game as "The All Blacks are bossing the Wallabies"!<br>
C'mon the All Blacks... just 40 minutes or so of the same thing to slowly choke the life out of this Wallaby side.<br>
Go Blacks!!!

[booboo]

Only rhing keeping Wobs in it is turnovers.<br><br>
But we're gettinv our share too.<br><br>
And it's fucked their lineout

[ACT Crusader]

We are starving OZ of possession and so when they get the ball they are trying to do too much with it and we are all over them. <br><br>
Oz defensive alignment all at sea. For all his attacking ability, Beale isn't the defensive organiser that Giteau is. <br><br>
Nonu has had a huge half

[rotated]

<p>I feel sorry for the Australian fans here because any moral high ground they may want to take about playing rugby the "right way", running rugby and team culture etc etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some pretty clear dirty play, lots of loitering at the breakdown. Enjoyed the semi final as a game much more than that first half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope we torch them in the second half.</p>

[mariner4life]

That extra pop pass from the forwards you all hate so much is so on as the half develops

[Winger]

<p>A few silly mistakes by NZ. But otherwise  team is playing very well</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Esp Carter. Final match and has done everything right so far</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deserve their half time lead. Although it was looking a bit like their dominance would not be rewarded at one point</p>

[nostrildamus]

<p>Wallabies are close to a yellow I feel. Look much more brainless without Gits and less backbone without their most reliable tackling forward.</p>
<p>Can see Moody's rough edges now, just keep onside you big lump!</p>
<p>The pressure from the ABs and the territory looks great carry on from Boks.</p>
<p>Folau doesn't seem to have that spring in his step but he can still kick it out of danger.</p>
<p>Great to see NMS workrate, his and Ben Smith's ability to wiggle forward impressive.</p>
