That must've been the Bruce Pascoe mob doing the Welcome to Country.

Hope the Aussie performance is as amateurish looking as that Aussie Morris dancing

I quite liked that, haven't seen it before, and the girl pronounced Maori and whanau better than any of our commentators.

Our 13 looks bigger than our 8. According to Blackdragon maths that means Ardie to 12?

This is some shit anthem singing

Has anyone listened to the Sky TV alternative commentary?

I'm actually watching this in French at a house in London. Interesting experience.

Yep, both countries appear to have found tone deaf singers.

All they need now is Banjo Patterson and his guitar

I'm not used to this objective (and impartial) criticism!

Wasn’t kickoff meant to be 15 minutes ago?

[canefan]

Aussies respond to the haka by laying down a boomerang

8pm usually

[MiketheSnow]

Can't wait for when Australia play Ireland next

Said no-one ever

The lead up will be longer than the match ffs

And I don't care if this comes across as non-PC but thousands of years of culture and that dance is the best they can come up with

There’s no way Reiko is bigger than Ardie

[Canerbry]

@NTA since we're at the MCG, it's a reminder that it can be done well, like this performance of the Australian National Anthem, subtitled "The Most Australian Thing Ever".

[voodoo]

Nice Ardie

he looked taller at least. Maybe it was the camera angle.

[Canes4life]

Ardie with the throat slit. Brilliant.
