@NTA what did he do?
Has not acknowledged the opposition once. Thanked RA for hosting while giggling at his team mates, but never even said the word "Wallabies".
Sheehan did.
He does come off as a smug prick. And that was before the head knock....

Sheehan very lucky not to be sitting on the sideline
After game 2, you would think they'd be watching out for that
Why? Pretty clear the NH is getting a free ride on this shit.
The blow back from the decision at the end of G2, I thought they might police the breakdown a little tighter
@Steven-Harris said in Wallabies vs Lions III:
Wallabies are gonna be battle hardened for the RC ..handing and physicality in these conditions has been superb
Skelton may need to rope it in
The first game in SA will be their big chance

@Canes4life said in Wallabies vs Lions III:
That Sheehan clean out on Lynagh should have been looked at. Defs a card.
Lots of stuff being let go at the breakdown. Tupou off his feet a couple of times diving into or over the ruck, also took one Lion's legs out
Son Heung Min is leaving Spurs with immediate effect. Such a great servant for the club. But he's diminished and this way Frank isn't pressured to play him, and Sonny doesn't suffer the prospect of riding the bench for a team when he always used to be first name on the sheet. Let him go wherever he wants to, although ideally he doesn't stay in the Prem

Love trying too hard. Soft loss of possession there and he killed a try scoring chance with a low percentage pass that went to the opposition
7-7 at HT
It annoys me that our 10s feel the need to do all this razzle dazzle shit, what happened to valuing intelligent clinical play?

@Bones said in Wellington v Canterbury:
Are these games not on sky in NZ?
They are
Despite all the positive noises around the NPC, the interest in the games is way way less than SR
Reflected in the fact the games are not being played at the Tin

O'Rourke was out in that second innings too, so it was just Henry and the spinners. (Mitchell too I guess). Described as 'stiffness' so hopefully precautionary and he'll be a go for the second match.
He's a Kiwi quick looking useful. It'll be a stress fracture.
We have pretty average form in terms of keeping our young quicks injury free

huh. been googling it most days and just found it now.
how long was it down for?Three days? Something like that.
Well it was up if you knew the IP Address
Felt like a lot longer than that....
@Kirwan said in All Blacks 2025:
Good tackler, good goalkicker, covers 12 and 15, kicks his team around the field and runs it hard and straight. Complete waste of time for the All Blacks, obviously.
Not compatible with the way we want to play

@Victor-Meldrew Because the rest of our 10's aren't much different/better?
Then move on and actually, you know, develop players who are going to be around in more than a couple of years
Isn't leaving the jersey in a better place an AB thing?
.
Unfortunately at this stage trying to develop a 10 other than DMac and BB is a little like trying to polish a turd. We really need that to change.
How about even trying other options? I hate to bring him up again, but Plummer plays a pivotal role in winning the SR title, and he isn't even given a serious run to see what he can do. Say what you want and argue about whether or not he could have done a job for us, it's all conjecture because the coaches didn't even give him a meaningful run

@canefan said in Wallabies v Lions II:
Tim Horan had a very balanced view of the game. The Wallabies had it in the bag and let it slip. The final decision could have gone either way, he was disappointed for the Wallabies and their fans, but felt the ref did a good job. Refreshing
Quade Cooper writing in The Australian blamed the Wallabies for changing their gameplay and trying to close out the game too early.
The comms the other night embarassed themselves big time. The cringiest moment was when they were hammering away at Martin Johnson trying to get him to admit to a conspiracy or something
