No more offensive terminology Dale. Those two insults are just a little over the limit. Your posts are generally good stuff, let's just leave those comments behind us please.


Anyhow, looking forward to this game, my official guess for final score is 19-12 to us. I have to believe we can cause an upset here.
 
Have to say that this all pale's compared to the Thailand vs China women's 7s....hmmm. How odd.

Anyone here? Speedy? Prestwick? anyone? Some Aussies? Some NZers?
 
Very nice try by Barnes gives Aus a 7 point lead. New Zealand looking like a super 14 team in defence...i.e they don't.

Giteau penalty, Aus 10 - 0 up
 
Aussies unfortunately throwing it away.

Should have been going for possession from 60 onwards and for some reason they've been trying to run it from everywhere when they were three points down.
 
Argh, James O'Connor was not ready, he is too young to handle a Bledisloe...shoulda put him at fullback at least
 
Aussies threw it away really. Built a nice lead and let it slip.

Donald had a good match though...shocker!!
 
22-16 Full time to the Blacks.

Enjoy Drew Mitchell Tahs, end of game muck ups is what he does best. Bloody hell....
 
Well that was one of the most predictable games of rugby I've ever seen. Why the f*** are we playing a four game series? One game in and the Bledisloe is already New Zealand's for another year. Australia played **** though so they deserve it.
 
Aussie backline was reminiscent of England's therre with the side to side, go nowhere and get turned over phase structure. AWESOME defence/ breakdown work from the ABs. George Smith aside, the Aussie pack got an absolute beasting especially towards the end.
 
How good did Genia look when he was on the field though. He will be a much better player than Burgess for Australia in the long term. Burgess' pass mostly terrible, and he can be blamed for that charge down which lead to Australia's capitulation.
 
Quite simple tatic from the ABs. "Jus Bash em'" was the call. I thought Jerome Kaino was a beast.

Genia looked fantastic, Burgess was awful. All this talk about Burgess being the next Gregan - LIES!! Genia looked smooth and confident when he came on. James O'Connor came on too early and in the wrong position, he should have been put on at full-back, and Barnes should have stayed on, if not then Ashley-Cooper moved to center. Donald surprised me as he played very well. Mortlock was invisible. Andrew Hore should be benched for the next match, his lineout throwing was awful. Oh and did anyway else think that the referee was an ass?
