Bledisloe 2

Jordie fucking awesome. If we see anyone but Samisoni at 2 and jordie at 12 for the big games going forward, in going to be very annoyed

[Tim]

Papalii gets his first proper run of the year, and has an excellent game. Back to his outstanding test form of last year.

[antipodean]

Samu and Valentini make this Wallaby team look much better. Once they get Kerevi back they won't stay at 9 in the world rankings for long.

Got to hand it to the loose forwards, until the game was over, their only points were from a turnover.

I thought Akira was excellent. Great D.

Don't like the booing of Foley kick at goal

Uh.... AB fans boo everyone else. Why stop?

Uh... do they? I did notice it this game, and didn't like it.
But historically... didn't think it was something we did.

Seems better starting for some reason.

Improved after shaking off the rust last week

[Joans Town Jones]

Still too many points left out there. Definitely an improvement on last week but the Wobs were also a step back. ABs during the first two YCs were so poor.

[broughie]

@Tim Yep he played well.

[ACT Crusader]

Great to get the win and set ourselves up to win the RC.

Im not usually a downer, but I thought we lacked a little fluency which sounds strange when you put 40 on. Defensively I thought our pack stood up and then our backs did pretty well too.

One of the worst disciplined games I’ve seen from Oz. They just didn’t adjust to the ref and showed a real lack of composure to settle into the match. Slipper seemed rattled and they didn’t really have anyone else with much experience in the starting lineup to take some pressure off him.

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader We left some points out there, but defence was so much better this week.

[NTA]

Let us get to double figures, eh?

Pussies

[chimoaus]

So do the ABs all go and play NPC or do they have a month off?

They aren’t that good to be fair. Plenty of heart and effort and we didn’t deal with that well last week but abilities wise they aren’t very good. Lots of good but not excellent players in that team.

Disagree on Valentini. He is a very good player. Tonight they all got beat up.

Was nice to see Retallick shifting bodies with a bit of venom.

RM Cadbury Man of Match.

And it’s not like we are short of options in the back 3 anyway

Lomax has scary cauliflower ears
