Hate is a strong word but not strong enough for Nick Phipps.
Despise?

@akan004 not sure about either of our reserve prop options.
Crockett is fine and has been a standout bench option for the past two years.
Ofa is still finding his feet. There will be a rocky period no doubt given his relative inexperience.

I think firmly wedged between "despise" and "wish harm upon" is where my feeling towards seƱor Phipps lays.

Well that was......
Move along, nothing to see here
Yep - a good a summary as any. Kazakhstan would have scored a couple against that defence in the first half.
Shouldn't you be googling potato recipes or something?

For fucks sake.
Im pretty fucking over rugby at the moment to be honest. To put 54 on the Wallabies in sydney and get the win but be pissed off afterward is just a weird feeling.
The reffing of the game at the moment is absolutely killing the game. That Wallabies try was one of the most obvious non tries i have seen in ages. The pass was 1m forward and then a clear offside the angle they made the call on was totally wrong.
Then the non try for BB. The front angle clearly showed BBs hand on the ball first yet they look at some far off angle from behind and the consistency of clear and obvious being required to disallow the try is out the window.Fuck Barnes.
ABs bench sucked arse.
We need to find a new 3rd hooker and a replacement for Ofa.
TJP was shit again. Has reverted to the old TJ. WTF was that quick lineout? Stupid.DMac mixed really good with the shit. That is the problem with him.
Ioane, ASmith, Squire and Rettalick really good.
BB's goal kicking very good.Oh and a big fuck you to the Clown. What sort of professional sits in the coaches box swearing his head off at every ref call, even when it goes his way.
When is he going to get called on his pathetic record as wallabies coach? -
Gregor Paul enjoyed the game

Nah, did them last night in preparation for this morning's match.
They've gone cold.

Damien MacKenzie gets a 9
For the first half, and what did he rate him in the second 40?
The Aussies gave him a 9 for the second half

We did win the test!
There were 3 players I was interested in - Squire, DMac and Ofa T.
Squire was very good and used his extra speed in the wider channels while Read assumed the Kaino role closer in. Will Kaino return next week?
DMac also played well and looked a threat everytime he had the ball. OK, you could criticise him for that pass to TJP but there were much more experienced players who also threw shit passes. He made his tackles too, bar one.
Ofa T. Penalised on his first scrum and didn't offer much around the field. I don't think he's the answer, expecially at TH.

Interesting tweet...
"NZ outscored 2nd half in only 5 of 68 games from 2012-2016.
Now lost 2nd half in 3 consecutive matches. Last time that happened was 1996."1996 was a vintage year.

Even the Aussies seem to loathe the obnoxious little turd

Haha. McLean must've been on the turps and by halftime was too drunk to take notice of anything after that.

@Salacious-Crumb This test reminds me of the Bledisloe game in 97 in Dunedin. I think we were up by close to 40 at halftime and only won the game by about 10.
