[nostrildamus]

Did Wayne finally notice a dummy runner obstructing? Wow.

[booboo]

Did Barnesy suggest they chop a coldie?

That try should have been given.

9.1 Foul Play
Obstruction

1. When a player and an opponent are running for the ball, neither player may charge or push the other except shoulder-to-shoulder.

Party pooper!

That's not relevant. A player touching the ball is fair game.

Then he needs to tackle him.

Wrong. Pushing a player with the ball isn't foul play.

Pushing is not tackling.
And he was on the ground.

No he wasn't.

It is according to vintage Quade Cooper.

Far too easy. Aussies were disappointing. All Blacks were clinical. Scott Barrett was dynamite.

[Tim]

Did enough when it mattered. Forwards were a bit off as a collective tonight. Need to be better against France.

Another hiding for Eddie.

You didn't even get 40.

Shit performance.

[Tim]

Scott Barrett had a huge game.

Easy?

Nup.

They were in it for the first 20 of both halves.

[Unite]

That’s good for Foster, nice to hold the Bledisloe

That's charitable. I'd say their defence was excellent most of the time and we looked lethargic.

Scott Barrett was dynamite.

MotM.

After the first 35 mins, yes. Scott Barrett was indeed superb. Retallick about the only player who played terribly. Wayne Barnes can suck my dead granddad's pecker

[sparky]

Australia did well for about 30 minutes, but there is a huge gulf in quality between these sides.

[Victor Meldrew]

Solid performance. Weathered the wobbles well, kept their heads and enacted Plan B. Stand-out players for sure, but the best thing for me was everybody played well. Roigard looked good.

Now we have the luxury of trying a few new players and combinations in Dunedin.

[Canes4life]

The lead up to that Ioane try was gold.

[antipodean]

Crowd dispersed amazingly quickly.

Looks like Eddie Jones will go into the WC with five straight losses. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
