[2014 TRC] New Zealand v Australia in Auckland (23/08/2014)

[Jaguares]

ABs made the Wallabies apparently a Tier 2 team.

 

[Darwin]

Messam had been the Wallabies best player.....

The ABs have played well but need to be much more clinical - the Wallabies may wake up soon.

 

[Big Ewis]

All Blacks at home though - there'll be a lot of offsides that aren't penalized

Thought he was really lucky too - he could see his first red if he keeps this up

I mean did you guys see what I just saw there ?!! :lol: hilarious stuff, I think Romain Poite is drunk. No seriously, he needs to eat a good burger at HT to sober up big time, this is just comedic.
Of course with McCaw "getting away with it"....nothin new, eh ?

 

[RoosTah]

Hopefully the Wallabies can pick it up a bit - I'd like the game to at least out rate the Broncos V Knights game in the NRL

The referee mde mistakes both ways. He didnt even check the TMO for Retalick and White should have been binned when the penalty try was given. I agree Jane was lucky not to be YC but I thought he was held back before the Folau break when he did his kick and chase.

 

[austingtir]

Not sure what Link is thinking keeping them out on the field. They must be getting the crazy taunts from the crowd.

 

[Big Ewis]

He wasnt offside. If he was he'd of got a red.

muhuhhuhuhuhh.....ahahahahh.....aha....HAHAHA.....HAHAHAHAH !!!...AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!...ah....aahaha.....ah...ahah.....
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

Didn't need too, was pretty clearly held up and he had the best view from where he was to see that.
Not sure about the Jane one, he got checked by the Aussie player trying to charge his kick down. Justin Marshall seemed to think it was ok, I didn't see a replay but the timing of it didn't seem too late.

Even Dusautoir wouldnt of been able to compete with Mccaw tonight. ; )

Add to that there seemed to be a forward pass in the build up to that try but never mind.

 

[austingtir]

Yep get Fekitoa on he'd have a FIELD DAY on eden park against this rabble.

 

[Jaguares]

Another Rugby Championship for the ABs...

 

[Bluemoon]

If Aus have any chance here, they are going to have to score pretty early on.

 

[austingtir]

What the heck was that penalty for? So your not even allowed to compete for the ball when your there first now!?

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Retallick never released the man before going for the ball. Not the first time Poite has failed to officiate that.

 

[Tony Manx]

Missed the first half...............all going as forecast I see!

 

[Big Ewis]

Another Rugby Championship for the ABs...

wait, they haven't played the Pumas yet...

 

[Thingimubob]

Ah always been a dodgy area for Poite I find.

 

[Jaguares]

Pedro is injured? They are just good news for NZ

 

[Bluemoon]

Just beat me too it. He's not really officiating that for either team, giving much more leeway to the defenders.
