[QUOTE="Rinkadink, post: 951989, member: 74190"] Disagree, JOC in particular but there is an argument for the other two as well although not as compelling. Anyway, good game to watch ABs were second best throughout and losing when the card was given anyway (plus two scores that could have been disallowed on another day) so there isn't much of a case for saying it cost the match IMO. That was a red all day under current guidelines (that was reinforced this month again for the WC no less), no need to turn in that direction and not offer any arm nor was there really much of a sudden dip. Hooper was clearly targeted by NZ players prior too. Really pleased for Australia, even though it pains me to say. A strong Aus is good for rugby on the whole, the question is can they sustain that form? Will the ABs bounce back quickly? I can't recall such a defeatist and broken attitude from the men on the pitch before with KR and TJP desperately attempting to rally in the last 10-15. Good game though, bodes well for the WC.
