Oh dear McKenzie

The drop-goal from England is on here.....

Nz will claim the 21 should get a pen there, but he never actually went at the ball, just pumped his arms up n down to give an impression.

 

[Brook's side]

great game. there was a patch there in the 2nd half where it looked like england was beating the all blacks up.
they restored order though.

Maybe not

Great game. Next week will be fun as well, well worth an 'early' Saturday (I have no kids, sleep ins still exist )

Now, an hour to do some things and then be let down by a dour affair between my Wobs and the Leeks.

The Maori/Japan game has started, you've got that first

Never ceases to disappoint how rubbish the Australian national anthem is compared to virtually every other one

 

[Smudge]

England hasn't won in NZ since 2003. This England team is not of that vintage.

And this ABs team, with the nucleus of the squad coming off a 1-point loss in an RWC final last year, is no worse than the 2003 AB team that lost in Wellington.

History isn't everything but that's enough for me.

Never in doubt.

That really was a terrible rendition. Sounded like 3 different speeds going as well.

 

[ripper868]

Can already see the accuracy of both sides isn't where England and NZ were earlier.

Still, some good signs for the Wallabies compared to what we saw under Eddie.

 

[ripper868]

Ugh...goal kicking rears it's head again.

 

[ripper868]

Wales getting blown off the park, but think every penalty conceded so far is justified.

We look like something with a passing resemblance to a test team

Very odd

 

[ripper868]

Hard to stop Taniela from .1m out.

Wallabies look a team for once, not really been put under any pressure though.

 

[ripper868]

Ah, there's the wallabies I know.

Edit: got away with it

Edit2: nevermind

 

[social]

That’s more like it

 

[ripper868]

And the pens now flowing the other way, again, all pretty justified. Just dumb lazy play, especially in attack.
