Lord have mercy.
That was exactly what the wallabies needed.
And exactly what the ABs didn’t need. The ABs must be so relieved they scraped a win against 9th ranked Australia.
TJ is not just up for it... Roigard should be back soon.....
All Blacks are poor in the last quarter every game. This was once a strength now a chronic weakness. There seems to be a lack of on field and off field leadership.
Robertson seems incapable of fixing the problem of infringements lack of cohesion after 60 minutes.
Not a single decent game played under Robertson, yet anyway.
yep completely..... last 20.. always not good enough
Well maybe Ben will be quiet for a while longer. Thanks be!
Although he could take the opportunity to explain why Australia are better than SA. And that’s why the AbS struggled.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I went to the loo at half time. What happened?!
same story.. last 20min
Well the Aussies did well to keep the ABs below 7 tries in the 1st. and to score 2 themselves.
But I think the second half is going to be a long one. Less adrenaline, more patience. More tries for the ABs.
My undies will live to chafe another day.
Sam Cane. If he isn’t tackling high, he’s not tackling at all.
Noo. I don’t want to eat my undies.
Karl Dickson finally wise to the front row nonsense of NZ.
Scratch that.
Unless of course the ABs want to prove they can also not score a point for the last 60 mins of a game?
Now the Aussies have done it. Half time score 49 - 7.
Will Jordan getting screwed moving back to FB. Coulda caught up 5/6 tries to get his strike rate back up.
Ben Smith’s already uploading his article about the ABs being better than all of South Africa. Because they beat the wallabies the mostest and bestest.
New Zealand are going to win the World Cup.
If Australia win, I’ll eat my own undies. With some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Work your best magic in Sydney usos so that you can return to Sky Stadium, Wellington with the knowledge that 23 years is your tenure NOW! No mercy bros!
