[2018 Rugby Championship] Round 1: Australia v New Zealand (18/08/2018)

[Bada-Bing!]

Bad miss from BB.

Wow try NZ.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Such fast hands and handing from ABs.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Entertaining despite the low score. Thought Naholo was very lucky not to get a yc.

Agreed. He lifted Folau beyond the horizonal; should have been a yellow.

 

[BobbyM]

Definitely a yellow. Really even game so far. I think the ABs are missing crotty as a proper 2nd 5/8ths.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That intercept by Genia showed the difference between the ABs and everyone else, there's no way they wouldn't have scored from that

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Some of those passes were comical. As Jaco said later, two consecutive forward passes.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Wallabies’ line out has been shocking.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Folau left the field so no full back for the Ws.

 

[BobbyM]

Hopefully it’s just a sprain and no ligament damage there for Folau

 

[All Black]

All Blacks, daylight then the Wallabies

 

[All Black]

Nice try for the debutant.

 

[All Black]

Maddox got killed by Reid lol

 

[BobbyM]

Giving them a sniff here. Still at least a losing bonus point here for the wallabies

 

[BobbyM]

Lol, kiss of death there!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gotta agree with the aussie commentators how can you not have a camera that shows the entire width of the field.

Wasn’t sure about his “if his head is onside his body must be 3-4 meters offside” though!

 

[All Black]

Very convincing 2nd half from us. Good first half from both teams.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And here comes the Wallabies total collapse.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I think he was onside but still for this level there should be cameras everywhere.

Also why don't the Wallabies call up Fardy at lock.
